German Sausage & Potato Skillet

January 14, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

Welcome to the final recipe of my RawSpiceBar recipe series! I may have saved the best for last, and I’m not saying that because it’s the recipe I created! If you’ve read the other recipes, you’ll remember one came from RawSpiceBar, one I modified from another food blogger and this one is created by moi! Looking at these photos right now as I work on this post is making me oh so hungry. I’m at the library eating donuts (true story) but I would much rather be eating this German Sausage & Potato Skillet! 🍽

This was my favorite RawSpiceBar combo -caraway, fennel and anise – and it went perfectly with the kielbasa sausage, smoky potatoes and crispy onions. This recipe is filling enough to be the main dish but not so overwhelming that it can’t be a side dish. It’s hearty and flavorful and super easy to whip up. It may be one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever posted. Check it out!

Horseradish & Mustard Cabbage

Hello 2017! πŸŽ‰πŸ’ƒ It’s been a good start to the year so far, and not just because I haven’t accidentally continued to write 2016 as the date. I think it’s going to be a really good year for me, and for you, too, I hope!

This is the second recipe in my RawSpiceBar series. Last week I shared my recipe for Gluten Free Potato Pancakes, they are seriously good and you can stock up on them and store them in the fridge. If you want a tasty side dish to pair with your crispy potato pancakes, try this recipe for Horseradish & Mustard Cabbage. Even though I love cabbage, I was a little skeptical at first because I’d never prepared it this way before and wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. The recipe comes straight from RawSpiceBar, and they did a great job because this dish came out super flavorful and savory!

I’m also a pretty big fan of both horseradish and mustard and the combo of the two. I used RawSpiceBar’s blend of horseradish and mustard seed, but you can also use these ingredients separately if you have them at home, or easily find them at the grocery store. Let’s get started!

Gluten Free Potato Pancakes

This recipe makes me very happy for two reasons. One, it reminds me of making latkes with my family every year for Hanukkah. And two, I love potatoes to the point where I feel an intervention might be necessary. Really. Sometimes at night I like to recount what I ate over the course of the day to make sure I got enough nutrients, raw foods, greens, etc. There’s been several times where I realize I ate some form of potato basically the entire day. Whoops.

These vegan, gluten free pancakes are golden, crispy and – nope, that’s it. That’s all that matters. Golden, crispy potatoes. There’s a couple more days of Hanukkah left, so whether you celebrate it or not, you can still make these delicious latkes and give yourself the gift of healthy carbs πŸŽπŸ•Ž

I modified this recipe from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken to suit my own tastes as well as to be gluten free. It can be a main or side dish, breakfast, a snack, whatever you like! I also used my Schnitzel Spies from RawSpiceBar, which gives these pancakes a little extra kick of flavor!

Key Lime Pie & Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls

It’s finally starting to get cold down here in Texas! I’m currently in the southernmost part of Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, which is right along the Mexico border. It’s normally all sunshine and warm breezes, even in the middle of winter, but today was super cold and tomorrow will be even colder! I’ve been eating a lot of soup and drinking lots of fresh pressed juice to keep away my allergies that are trying to overcome me. When I feel any kind of cold or sore throat or allergy coming on, I literally just drink warm lemon water all day long and it prevents me from getting sick. It’s pretty amazing.

These delicious energy balls are also pretty amazing. The key lime pie balls are light and sweet with a touch of tang, and the chocolate peanut butter balls are dense and rich with flavor. They both contain some of my favorite foods, like almonds, cashews, chia seeds, coconut and peanut butter. Instead of using sugar or a processed sweetener, these energy balls are naturally using dates. Yum!

Making energy balls is really fun and easy, and you can make them in big batches to munch on throughout the week. Whether you make the key lime pie or the chocolate peanut butter or both, you’ll fall in love with these vegan, gluten free energy balls!

Gluten Free Veggie Pasta Salad

All right, I know it’s almost Thanksgiving and for many parts of the world it’s already cold enough outside to be wearing heavy jackets and mittens, but here in southeast Texas the weather is kind of amazing 🌞 It’s been warm and mild during the day and chilly at night, but not so chilly that I’m freezing my vegan butt off. So even though pasta salad feels more like a spring or summer dish, I’m gonna put it out there anyway because this pasta salad is really delicious and healthy and filling.

For starters, this pasta is gluten free and contains minimal ingredients. I love that. Then it gets tossed in a tangy dressing and topped with tons of delicious veggies. I even added some pre-seasoned, pre-cooked tofu crumbles for added texture and protein πŸ™Œ

This Gluten Free Pasta Salad is perfect for lunch with friends or for making a huge batch to provide you with quick on-the-go meals for the rest of the week. It’s an easy way to get those veggies in πŸ…πŸ‹ if that’s something that’s a struggle for you 😜
