Paleo Mushroom & Onion Sauce

Actually, it's grain free, dairy free, gluten free, Whole30 and yada yada yada!


We had a friend over for dinner and we were making steaks (from the freezer/Costco) and baked potatoes (fridge) during our #shelftember challenge ... I had picked up some shrooms at Aldi for $.79 a carton and Hubby wanted a mushroom sauce to go with the steak ... cuz you know, we are fancy like that.

Yup. Fancy Schmancy.

A few things that were in the way though:

I'm trying to kick the grains to the curb again (I'm looking at you, FLOUR/BREAD/PASTA/RICE!)

I'm also trying to keep Hubby happy as I do this.

AND we had company so it really needed to be ok, you know?

Introducing:

Yup, this stuff is just like a baking powder OR flour when you cook with it like this.

Sorry, I wish I had a better picture but all I have is my jar as I hate open bags in the pantry!


Another secret? Don't mix it with the liquid!

Add it in BEFORE the liquid. That keeps it from clumping up ...

SWEET!


So here's how it went down:

1 pkg of mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 small onion, cut in half and sliced super thin
1/2 carton beef stock/broth (I try to always buy stock)
1 to 2 tbs of arrowroot flour
ghee or oil of choice

Heat ghee in large skillet. Toss in the onions and let them sit and caramelize. Don't mess with them or else they won't caramelize!

Add mushrooms to pan, stir to mix with onions. Add a little more ghee around the outer edges of pan.

Cook until most of the liquid is removed. At this point you can season with salt and pepper if you'd like. I use our general seasoning mix (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder all mixed together in a large shaker bottle).

Sprinkle the arrowroot flour over the veggies, starting with just 1/2 tbs or so. Stir, stir, stir to get everything coated.  Add in your beef broth and if you are feeling a little risque, a dash of red pepper flakes goes along way as well here!

Stir, stir, stir. The sauce will start to thicken! Yes! And no clumps!

I ended up adding more broth as mine got too thick (I used 1 tbs of arrowroot flour).

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Enjoy!

      I was never a big fan of mushrooms until I started cooking them myself ... my secret? Don't cook them to mush ;-) Just like any other vegetable!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
