Wow. @republicapdx has amazing Mexican food! Our family of four ordered the $70 “guests at a Mexican household” #glutenfree menu and we had food leftover! We were oohing and aahing throughout the entire meal. If you eat corn, the homemade tortillas are a revelation. You can dine outside on the patio (no line at 4:45 pm!) or order food to go! #nomnomeatspdx #pdxfood #portlandoregon 
{NEW} Strawberry 🍓Muffin recipe on the blog and Nom Nom Paleo iOS app! Love strawberries? These fantastically simple paleo strawberry muffins are packed with sweet and juicy strawberries—and they’re gluten-free and grain-free, too! These strawberry muffins are supercharged with strawberry flavor because the batter is infused with both freeze-dried strawberries and diced fresh strawberries! I was hoping that the freeze-dried strawberries would result in a bright pink-colored crumb once baked, but no dice. But it’s not a big deal because I prefer flavor over flash any day—and these muffins are crazy delicious. I've also got an ingenious tip on how to get the diced strawberries from falling to the bottom of the muffins! Unfortunately, I have no idea if you can use an egg substitute or use another flour in place of almond or cassava flour recommended in this recipe. You can definitely substitute other fresh, seasonal fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, diced peaches, etc.) in place of the strawberries and the muffins will taste amazing. If you must, you can also leave out the freeze dried strawberries, but the muffins won’t have as much concentrated strawberry flavor.

Got leftover hard boiled eggs? Make my Bacon Deviled 🥚 Salad! Longtime Nomsters know that I’m not patient enough to roll up my sleeves and make real deviled eggs—you know the kind, with elaborately piped yolks and prettily garnished tops. That’s why I slouched my way into coming up with a Lazy Devils recipe (it’s in the red cookbook, on the blog, and in the iOS app). Still, I love the flavor-profile of traditional deviled eggs—slightly piquant and creamy—and when they’re topped with crispy bacon bites, I devour ’em like porky candy. Truth be told, I only eat deviled eggs if someone else labors over them. So what’s a short-cutter like me supposed to do when I crave them? Answer: Put away all the extra equipment and make a big bowl of Bacon Deviled Egg Salad instead!

So excited to eat another amazing dinner at @kannpdx with the family! If you’re in Portland, reserve a yurt at @gg30000’s Haitian pop-up restaurant before it closes on 4/25. The food, service, and ambiance are perfection! I can’t wait to get his upcoming @everyonestablecookbook so I can cook his dishes at home until he opens his next restaurant! #nomnompaleo #nomnomeatspdx #kannwintervillage #glutenfree #dairyfree 
{NEW} Asparagus Mimosa recipe on the blog and Nom Nom Paleo iOS app! Have you tried this fab veggie dish? Asparagus Mimosa is a classic French recipe that’s the embodiment of spring on a plate! Combining tender-crisp asparagus stalks with a lemony vinaigrette and topped with fluffy, sieved hard boiled eggs—it’s the perfect vegetable dish to serve with Sunday brunch or a colorful spring supper. This old school asparagus salad recipe is traditionally topped with hard boiled eggs that are pushed through a fine mesh sieve so the bright yellow yolks resemble the small yellow flowers of the mimosa tree, a.k.a. Acacia dealbata. It’s just a coincidence that the similarly-hued mimosa brunch cocktail, made with champagne and orange juice, is named after the same flowers. You can make it a mimosa-inspired meal by serving both this weekend! I've even got make-ahead instructions on the blog so you can prep the asparagus and eggs ahead of time and throw it together when you're ready to serve it!

Time for my protein shake! Just kidding! I blitzed 36 eggs in my Vitamix to make scrambled eggs for @musuboykitchen’s weekly egg musubi and egg + Spam musubi orders. The eggs get a little frothy at the top, but this method is definitely the most efficient way to blend them up! 
If you need a dose of comfort, I just updated one of my favorite recipes on the blog, World’s Best Braised Green Cabbage and added it to the Nom Nom Paleo iOS app! One of the most dog-eared cookbooks on my shelf is @mstevenscooks’s All About Braising, and my favorite recipe in it is for the “World’s Best Braised Green Cabbage.” It transforms a humble cabbage into a tender, savory, vegetable showstopper! I posted this recipe on the blog way back in the dark ages, a.k.a. 2010. The old pictures were terrible so I decided to zhuzh up the dated post with new step-by-step photos and add new cooking tips and tricks. Braising cabbage—cooking it in some fat and a bit of liquid in a closed cooking vessel until it’s meltingly tender—is a magical example of how patience pays off. My adapted Whole30-friendly version of this braised cabbage recipe is a mainstay in my arsenal of vegetable sides for good reason: it transforms a lowly vegetable into a dish worth oohing and aahing over. This fabulous veggie side dish will win over any cabbage hater in your household! Yes, it takes 2½ hours from start to finish, but the total prep time is only 10 to 15 minutes. Plus, this braised cabbage side dish makes your house smell irresistibly yummy. It's the perfect dish to cook on the weekend because the leftovers reheat beautifully!

Stress baking again. (This is a paleo sandwich bread that will be in cookbook #3. Please don’t ask me for the recipe. ✌️) I just found out that a friend’s son was attacked last week in NYC. Her son is just a couple of years older than Owen and this news really hit me in the gut. These senseless attacks on Asian Americans are real and scary. Her family is participating in a fundraiser to help protect our Asian elders and stop the violence. Wenter Shyu and Sam Butarbutar, Queer and Asian-American owners of @thirdculturebakery in Berkeley and Aurora, Colorado, are raising funds to purchase safety kits that will be distributed free of charge to local community centers in CA and CO to those most vulnerable. Each safety kit includes one keychain alarm and a keychain pepper spray. Directions for how to use these items will be translated into Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Lao, Thai, Japanese, Cambodian, Spanish and more. Please donate to help keep our communities stay safe and stop Asian Hate! Each kit costs $8 and the goal is to distribute 5,000 safety kits to our communities. Thank you!
