Prepped 5 different freezer friendly soups this weekend! 👨🏻🍳 😋 🍜 Hoping to stay on the wagon for 2021 - eat healthier, less takeout! (Chicken Soup, Jambalaya Soup, Sausage/Pepper Soup, Sausage/Ravioli Soup & my riff on Italian Wedding Soup)

Slow Cooker Jambalaya Soup Ingredients 2 chicken breasts skinless, boneless, cut into chunks 1 pound andouille sausage links sliced 1 can diced tomatoes 28 ounces 1 large onion chopped 1 red bell pepper finely chopped 2 stalks celery thinly sliced 2 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 pound shrimp 13-15 count Instructions Add all the ingredients except the shrimp into the slow cooker and stir.

I'm working from home due to an injury, and have been for a few weeks. Today's work was utterly pointless, because everything I did was discarded and I have to do it all again tomorrow. I took the opportunity of being stuck at home to try out a bunch of new types of canned soup, since they're easy to prepare. Today it was Campbell's Chunky jambalaya soup.
Guys. GUYS. I got an Instant Pot. I'm really excited about this, more than I probably need to be. See, I have a Cuisinart crockpot that you've seen in my videos, but recently I noticed the enamel is cracked on the bottom. This wouldn't be such a big deal...except that there was a matching crack on the inside, which highly suggests that it's actually a crack all the way through the cooking pot. While it hasn't leaked so far, I really didn't want to take the chance I'd come home to a shattered cooking pot with hot burnt food stuck to the inside. Cuisinart wasn't willing to replace it, and if they only expect their items to last a few years, I'm not really keen on replacing it with another one. As a result, I took the plunge and picked up an InstantPot, which is an electric pressure cooker. It also does slow cooking, yogurt making, rice making (probably not using that!), steaming, sauteing...all kinds of stuff! Primarily, I'll be using it to make crockpot recipes in about 1 hour instead of 8, so watch out in the next few weeks for maybe a full week of crockpot/pressure cooker recipes. It's very nearly April 1....don't be fooled by silly news stories on Saturday! Also, take a look at the recipes this week. I've included a dessert, so if you don't want that you can strike out some of the items on the grocery list. Also please note "three day marinated skirt steak". It needs 3 days to marinate! The Jambalaya is -SPICY-. hold back on the cayenne in the cajun seasoning and the hot sauce if you want it less spicy.

Frank’s Red Hot (or hot sauce of your choice) *How to Make Your Own Cajun Seasoning (from Emeril!): • 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika • 2 tablespoons salt • 2 tablespoons garlic powder • 1 tablespoon black pepper • 1 tablespoon onion powder • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper • 1 tablespoon dried oregano • 1 tablespoon dried thyme • (Yields about 2/3 c.) Directions:
Put the chopped peppers, onions, garlic, chicken, cajun seasoning, Red Hot, and bay leafs in the crockpot with the chicken stock. As you can see, I grabbed a container of my homemade stock directly from the freezer and threw it in. Set on low for 6 hours.
About 30 minutes before it’s finished, toss in the cut up sausages.
While this is cooking quickly make cauliflower rice by pulsing raw cauliflower in the food processor until it resembles rice.
For the last 20 minutes, add in the cauliflower rice and the raw shrimp. Note: You can choose to quickly steam the cauliflower rice in the microwave and serve the jambalaya OVER it as well.
Enjoy clear sinuses!!

(you can do one day but the meat will not be as tender and not as much flavor) Make the smoky tomato butter before you cook the steak. Melt the butter in a small pot and add the tomato and smoked paprika and pinch of salt and steep for about 20 min at medium low heat. Strain into a bowl and keep warm before serving. When it's time to cook the steak take it out of the fridge and let come to room temp for at least 20 min or so up to two hours (yes even the FDA says this is ok) Get you cast iron pan ripping hot, take the steak out of the marinade and season on one side with kosher salt and pepper. Now into the pan, (no oils at all) it will smoke like crazy so have the fan on and the doors open (see the video below) and probably cook it for 2 min a side for medium rare to medium. You will find that this steak has many thicknesses so you will get a little of all temperatures. There should be a real nice caramelized crust on the steak as you can see in the photos that is what you are looking to have happen. If the pan is not hot enough it will take too long for this to take place and you will end up with an overdone steak with no real color so that is why a super hot cast iron pan is perfect. Take out and let rest, do not touch it for at least 3-5 min. This gives the juices and fats time to settle back inside and redistribute really important. The Tuna Burger Ingredients: • 2 cans Tuna • 1 c Sweet potato (mashed) • 1/2 c White onion (diced) • 1 Jalapeño pepper (diced, ribs and seeds removed) • 2 tbsp garlic (minced) • 1/2 tsp Sea salt • 1/4 tsp Fresh cracked black pepper • 1/4 tsp Chili powder • 1 Egg (whisked) • 1/4 c Almond flour • 1/4 c Arrowroot powder • Grass fed butter (for frying- primal not paleo) Directions: Strain and empty tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash pre-cooked sweet potato and add to the tuna. Mix in diced onion, jalapeño, garlic, salt, and spices. Whisk egg in a bowl and set aside. Sprinkle almond flour and arrowroot powder on a plate, mix well, and set aside. Using your hands, form the tuna “dough” into fist-sized patties. These patties are delicate, so try to keep the size manageable. If the patties are too large they are more likely to fall apart. Set patties aside on a plate or baking sheet. Once all the patties are formed (this recipe makes about 8), set them in a fridge or freezer for a couple of hours, so that they harden up a bit and stay solid while frying. Melt butter in a pan on medium heat. While butter is melting, gently dip the patties in the egg wash and then in the flour mixture. Then shallow fry them in butter until the edges are golden brown and cooked through. Set each patty down on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Serve with fresh steamed veggies and/or a spinach salad to round out the meal.
