Company Green Beans

 Y'all.  I was missing a key ingredient for my green beans and improvised and came up with an even better version - I love happy accidents!  These are so good we're calling them Company green beans because they are easy to make and a crowd pleaser. Having company over for dinner can be daunting, so keep it simple and stress free!

What you need:

Steam in the bag green beans

2 T minced garlic

"Onion Salt" from Trader Joe's

Lemon

What you do:

1. Steam your green beans in the bag in the microwave for half the time (my HEB brand says 3-4 minutes but I think they're too mushy, so I do it for 2 minutes).  

2.  Meanwhile heat some olive oil in a skillet and then put the steamed green beans in and season with the onion salt to taste (I probably used 2 ish teaspoons).

3.  When the green beans are almost done cooking, add in the garlic and cook one more minute.  

4. Squeeze a lemon over it and serve immediately!

They went great with grilled New York Strip and a baked sweet potato.  Eating clean can be easy and delish!

Let me know if you try it!

Clean Spice Mixes

It's January so many of you are embarking on Whole 30 (bless your hearts), so it's time to read some labels or make your own spice mixes.  It's super easy to make your own and keep gross chemicals out of your family's dinner.

Here are three of my favorites:

Wicked Spatula's Clean Ranch 

I use this on Mississippi Pot Roast which we repurpose a second night for pulled beef tacos - yum!

Homemade Taco Seasoning:

2 T chili powder

1 T cumin

1 T sea salt

1/2 T black pepper

1/2 T paprika

2 t garlic powder

1 t onion powder

1 t dried oregano

1/8 t cayenne (optional)

Keep in an airtight container and use 2 T per pound of meat for recipes. We love this for ground turkey tacos, stuffed bell peppers, or slow cooker chicken tacos.

Clean Chili Seasoning:

12 T chili powder

3 T garlic powder

3 T cumin

2 T onion powder

1 ½  T sea salt

2 t paprika

2 t dried minced onion

1 t pepper

Pour into a Mason jar and shake til combined. Use 3-4 T per 2 lbs of ground beef for chili.

Now, reconsider Whole 30 and jump into my FASTer Way group starting TOMORROW.  We will eat rice and beans and peanuts (plus lots of other stuff) because I don't want to live in a world without any of that.  Check it out here:
