Crazy Good Beef And Broccoli

by Rebecca May 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Yield: 2 servings

This easy, one-pan beef and broccoli is crazy good and way better than takeout. Serve this over rice alongside your favorite appetizer for a complete, filling, and delicious weeknight meal perfect for your entire family!

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp cooking oil

1 lb flank steak, sliced into 1/4” thick strips

5 cloves garlic, minced

3 c. small broccoli florets

2 tbsp corn starch

1/2 c. beef broth

Sauce:

2 tsp cornstarch

1/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. low-sodium soy sauce

How to make Crazy Good Beef And Broccoli

Step 1: In a large bowl with corn starch, toss the sliced beef until well coated. Set aside. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced beef to the hot oil and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often, until the beef has browned. To a plate, transfer the browned beef.

Step 2: To the same pan, add the broccoli florets and garlic. Stir well and pour in the beef broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the broccoli is cooked.

Step 3: In the meantime, whisk the sauce ingredients in a bowl until well blended.

Step 4: Place the beef back in the pan and pour the sauce over it. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.

NOTES:

For this recipe, I use thinly sliced flank steak (about 1/4-inch thick/thin).

Either you buy a bag of pre-cut raw florets or simply cut florets on a head of broccoli. I use fresh, but if using frozen, you may need to cook the florets longer.

I suggest avoiding regular soy sauce, or the dish will be too salty. Use low sodium. Or swap it with coconut aminos if following a Paleo, whole30, or gluten-free diet.

In an airtight container, store any leftovers and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Before serving, reheat in the microwave.

Bubble Up Pizza Recipe

by Rebecca May 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 15 MINS | COOK TIME: 25 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 40 MINS | SERVINGS: 6

Fun, super to make, and kid-friendly. This bubble-up pizza is a must-try, especially if your family loves DIY pizza! All you need to throw this together is mozzarella cheese, your favorite store-bought pizza sauce (or homemade), biscuits, and your preferred pizza toppings. The shredded cheddar cheese is optional but highly recommended. Make sure to try this pizza recipe soon and ask your kids to help out. I am pretty sure they’ll have a blast!

To make everything easy and quick, I use canned biscuits for the crust. These biscuits “bubble up” as they bake and create a thick dough just like a deep dish pizza crust. You can make a homemade pizza sauce or use store-bought. Let your children play around with the toppings. We like pepperoni, but you can use your favorites!

INGREDIENTS

2 c. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 jar of pizza sauce Bought or homemade (or 2 small cans of tomato sauce with Italian seasoning)

2 cans of Biscuits

Pizza toppings any that you like (I use pepperoni)

1/2 c. Shredded Cheddar Cheese optional

How to make Bubble Up Pizza

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using a nonstick spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Step 2: Into fourths, cut each biscuit. To make this process faster, I used a pizza cutter.

Step 3: At the bottom of the prepared pan, place the biscuits. Over the biscuits, pour the pizza sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. At this point, you can use your favorite pizza toppings.

Step 4: Over the pizza toppings, sprinkle a bit of cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 35 minutes until the biscuits have bubbled up.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and allow the pizza to sit for about 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Zucchini Garlic Bites

by Rebecca May 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 12 mins | Cook Time: 18 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Servings: 16 bites

Kid-friendly zucchini, garlic bites with shredded zucchini with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs. These bites are baked to golden and crispy perfection. Serve these right away with a marinara sauce for dipping or freeze for an easy and quick appetizer.

Ingredients

1 large egg

1 c. shredded zucchini drained well

1/3 c. breadcrumbs

1 clove of garlic, grated fine

1/4 c. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (or 1 tbsp dried chives)

1 tsp chopped fresh basil (or 1/2 tsp dried)

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1/2 tbsp dried)

1 tsp chopped fresh oregano (or 1/2 tsp dried)

tomato sauce for dipping

pinch of salt and pepper

How to make Zucchini Garlic Bites

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. Using olive oil or nonstick spray, lightly grease a baking sheet, and set aside.

Step 2: Into a clean towel, grate the zucchini using a box grater. Roll the towel up and twist to wring the moisture out.

Step 3: Using the small holes on the box grater, grate the garlic.

Step 4: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, chives, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Step 5: Into your hands, forms a tablespoon of the mixture and pat it into a small ball. On the prepared baking sheet, place the ball. Repeat until you have to use the whole mixture.

Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the zucchini garlic bites are golden. Remove from the oven when done, and serve these bites warm with a marinara sauce for dipping.

To Freeze:

Allow the zucchini bites to cool. Then, place them on a large baking sheet in a single layer and flash freeze for an hour. Take the frozen zucchini out of the freezer and transfer them into a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 4 months.

To reheat, place the frozen bites on a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated oven. Reheat for about 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees F until heated and crispy.
