I hope you all are staying healthy and safe. Although there is a lot going on that is out of our control, what we put into our bodies ain’t one of ‘em! Fortunately, many restaurants are still open for takeout and delivery, but if your kitchen is open for business too, you may be running out of dinner ideas. You’ve come to the right place! Before reading any further, bookmark this page for easy to follow and delectable recipes. Now about the pot roast y’all were drooling over on my Instagram story…it’s great for beginner and expert chefs alike, and it makes a lip smacking good meal (with plenty of leftovers). Let’s get to it!

Pot Roast

Ingredients and Supplies:

Dutch oven (cast iron works best)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 onion
2 large carrots
2 tablespoons butter or non-dairy butter
1 yellow pepper
No Yolks Broad noodles (click here to find at a store near you)
1 package Recipe Secrets onion soup and dip mix
Jar of Bell’s Beef Gravy (click here to find at a store near you)
Italian seasoning

Directions:

Rub meat with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Add two tablespoons butter to pan.
Set roast inside of Dutch Oven and braze meat on medium-high until all sides brown. Stay nearby because you don’t want it to burn!
After that, pour in Recipe Secrets onion recipe soup and dip mix packet and cover roast entirely with water. Bring to a boil then turn heat down and cover mostly with lid (leaving some room for air to escape). Simmer until roast is tender 2-3 hours (depending on size of roast) adding water little by little so that it does not all evaporate.
After that, add vegetables – beginning with carrot and onion, yellow pepper, and cook on low until carrots are easy to poke with fork.
Throw in as many no yolk broad noodles and cover and cook on medium-low until desired firmness (approximately 5 minutes).
Finally, mix in jar of gravy stirring occasionally on medium-low heat and top with Italian seasoning. Slice pot roast and serve in bowls. Enjoy for dinner as is or serve on toast and enjoy an open-faced sandwich at lunchtime.

Foodie Friday: Minestrone Soup

Kelsey K. — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 20:15:11 +0000

Are you looking for hearty healthy meals that are easy to make but equally delicious?! If you answered yes to this question then bookmark this page for a cold raw night. Minestrone soup…yummm. I discovered this recipe from one of my favorite foodies, Wholesomelicious. Amy serves up many nutritious low-fat meals, many of which are gluten free or Whole 30 compliant. We don’t follow either of these diets at #ClubKaplan, but excluding pork and shellfish, many Whole 30 meals are Kosher. Without further adieu, introducing my favorite short cut minestrone soup.

Shortcut Minestrone

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or turkey
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
2-3 peeled carrots
2 stalks celery
1 can diced tomatoes
5 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 package fresh spinach (optional)
1 cup orzo (optional)

Directions:

Begin by prepping veggies. Dice onion, mince garlic, and chop carrots, and celery.
Next pour tablespoon oil in skillet and cook ground beef or turkey until no longer pink. This recipe technically calls for meatballs but ain’t no body for time for that and it’s just as good without ‘em. Add Italian spices as well as salt and pepper to taste. (turkey pictured here)
Pour remaining oil into Dutch oven or soup pot and heat over medium high. Add onion first and cook 2-3 minutes until soft. After that add: minced garlic, carrots, and celery stirring occasionally (another two minutes). Adjust heat if veggies begin to burn. Finally, add in tomatoes, broth, vinegar, and cooked meat. Bring to a soft boil and stir frequently.
Once flavors have combined, add cup of orzo and cook on a soft boil 8-10 minutes. This is where I get creative and sometimes throw in spinach when I have it on hand! Always over estimate as it significantly shrinks during the cooking process. Scoop into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
