While Seafood shakshuka is always a Stanley househ

While Seafood shakshuka is always a Stanley household fav (with a delicious recipe on my site), A weeknight shortcut is using a shakshuka starter (frozen section at Trader Joe’s) and simmering your choice of seafood in the sauce + searing scallops to add in, topping off with fresh herbs...super simple and easy while still feeling *extra* as you should. Treat yourself! #cookbycolor #colorFULLife

1. Allow for the possibility you will surprise yourself fridge foraging
.
2. Remember that you’re not a professional kitchen holding Michelin stars, and finally
.
3. Stay mindful that the exception is a picture/post worthy meal and the norm is leftover stuff on top of green stuff dressed up with other stuff, even for food bloggers.
.
4. This ‘masterful’ 😂 fridge forage is almost bad mixed greens, 3 day old leftover cauliflower, bone broth sautéed broccolini, Costco @amylufoods sausages, blueberries, homemade sauerkraut, dill and balsamic reduction. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and it was delicious. #cookbycolor #fridgeforage

Salmon and avocado: the ultimate flavor affinity (IMO). This Friday fridge forage filled me with flavor and fuel and I’m feeling fiiiine! How YOU doin?

Leftover potatoes cooked in @nocrumbsleft marinated onion oil, wilted spinach, wild salmon, homemade caraway kraut, leftover Moroccan eggplant. #cookbycolor

Pumped about my new series: Power Hour Prep! Basic

Pumped about my new series: Power Hour Prep! Basically: put something (podcast from @sami ) on to 1. Keep you off your phone 2. Keep you in the zone and ready, set, GOOOO.
.
AMRAP style: Roast, marinate, chop, season, defrost. Shut your mouth and fill your fridge expeditiously. Eat well, forage on. Xoxo #cookbycolor
.
Roasted Japanese sweet potatoes, blanched green beans, cara cara orange slices, curried cauliflower, ‘pomberries’ as Talus calls them, salad ready to roll, seared sesame oil sugar snap peas, roasted radishes, sliced endives, sweet potato ‘buns’ with EBTB seasoning, turkey bacon. Check my stories for some BTS.

Power hour: healthy habits version. TBH this was more like 1.5 hours. Who else is grounding down in healthy habits right now? It seems wild to talk food / meal prep / self care, but here I am practicing what I preach in a moment of continued widespread collective trauma.
.
Simple salt and pepper stovetop brussels, roasted Moroccan eggplant, herbs-a-plenty, pomegranate seeds, sautéed mushrooms, roasted spaghetti squash (new way for me, and I love it), marinated onions in my @nocrumbsleft poetry 😍, broccolini, roasted Japanese sweet potato spears. Swipe for a pomegranate monster swooping the snacks from his tower.
.
I just put on a podcast (the daily / @sami ‘Morning Announcements’) and just get into a headspace where I’m getting stuff done. It feels better than doom scrolling, wallowing, drinking, or other habits that we can default to in troubled times. We all@cope differently but this set us up for days of good eating andddd gave me good actionable purpose.
.
Per usual I just took out what I needed to use, and used it. It’s not a recipe, a meal plan, or anything. It’s cooking by color, using what I have, and fridge foraging with purpose. #cookbycolor

What veggies are dying in your crisper RN? Be hone

What veggies are dying in your crisper RN? Be honest. 👇🏼 YOU have the opportunity to be the hero of their story and let them fulfill their veggie destiny! Hit the preheat, put on a little music or a podcast and get into a chop chop meditation.
.
Please, cook - don’t kill - the veggies. Especially if this is serving as a little meal prep to be reheated/ cooked further, air on the side of al dente. You can always cook more, but steamy, soggy veggies cannot be saved.
.
Please note: despite what sheet pan meals would have you believe, they don’t all cook in the same time.
.
Cut them as uniformly as possible.
.
Use a sheet pan with short sides (not tall) so they roast not steam.
.
Don’t crowd the veggies. They need their space!
.
They need fat. Any fat will do, I love olive oil, avocado, duck fat.
.
Keep it simple with salt and pepper so they can morph seamlessly into bulking up a variety of meals this week.
.
Unpopular (but proven) opinion: 425 is a minimum roasting temp. I go for 450 - 475 and bump to broil for a minute (yes even with the parchment, but on the middle rack). Any recipe with a 350 roasting temp is a hell no from me. 👏

Who else wants steak stir fry 🙌 for breakfast?

Who else wants steak stir fry 🙌 for breakfast?

Whole30 tip #1 : keep it simple, sunshine. Set up for success by making enough dinner stuff to repurpose for breakfast. It’s just insanity (IMO) to make a meal plan involving 3 recipes / day. No one can manage that, and honestly- you’re following enough rules, don’t impose more!
.
Slice up leftover steak. Heat a cast iron skillet. Add some veggies (pictured here is carrot, zucchini, sugar snap peas, onions, sugar plum tomatoes, spinach, ) but you use what you have on hand… All veggies can work.
.
Sauté them with a little olive oil until they are cooked to your liking. Add some coconut amino’s, sesame oil and ginger and garlic powder if you’re feeling fancy, add in the protein to warm through, and turn off the skillet. Add some healthy fat… Pictured here is avocado, you can use some cashews, slivered almonds whatever you have. Herbs if you like it, hot sauce if you like it spicy. Don’t overthink it, use what you have took once, and re-purpose the leftovers. Xoxo #cookbycolor

What is #thecolorFULLife? This morning Nick turn

What is #thecolorFULLife?

This morning Nick turned on some cartoons for Talus while we snuggled 🔥 for an hour.

I worked for a few hours in the morning and afternoon, and well, probably tonight too because it’s my season to shine and I love my work - holiday or not.

I sweat bullets during a 30 min HIIT workout because I flipping love it lately.

I ate chicken sausage and 5 veggie stir fry, it was delicious!

Then? I took a 30 minute ‘red carpet’ shower - scrubbing, masking, shaving, singing accompanied with a grapefruit mimosa.

Then I luxuriated with lotions, oils, stretches, meticulous blow drying.

Now? I’m self indulgently writing a post to remind myself and maybe a few of you to enjoy as many of the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years we have here - even when it’s not something extraordinary. I guess, ESPECIALLY when it’s not extraordinary.

I don’t need a ‘new’ anything to ground down in the ‘right here, right now’ and I’m grateful I said goodbye to the ‘all or nothing’ ‘now or never’ mindset.

The still photo was picture perfect, but the video shows the full reality that comes with wrangling a dog, a two year old and two adults snapping a photo with a timer in the snow - pure silliness.

The #colorFULLife is yours any damn time you’re ready for it because it’s a mindset to hone not a thing to achieve. xxo Stephanie #colorFULLife #cookbycolor
