Playa Jambalaya
A favorite from our Burning Man Meal Plan archives! It feeds a lot (so it’s great for parties or potlucks on- or off-playa for that matter), freezes well, and is hefty so it’ll sustain you through your adventuring well into the night.
Healthy Lactation Cookies
I adapted my favorite healthy snacking cookie into a cookie recipe that will help nursing mamas boost/maintain their milk supply. The Brewer’s yeast is the main active ingredient that make this a “lactation” cookie. You can barely taste it. Feel free to omit it if you’re looking for a delicious healthy cookie recipe and don’t need the milk boost :)

This easy weeknight meal is healthy, quick, and satisfying. And hello, mint pesto! Where have you been all my life? Simple grilled chicken breast never had it so good.
Vietnamese Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps (Sous Vide/Slow Cooker)
A humble cut of pork shoulder gets an umami-rich marinade and a 24-hour soak in the sous vide which renders it meltingly tender. The pork literally falls apart with the prod of a fork. It then gets sprinkled with brown sugar and blasted under the broiler to mimic that charred sweetness reminiscent of true Vietnamese street food eats. BYO little red stool.

This pavlova cake is the loveliest of lovelies. Light yet luxurious, and a textural delight, you’ll be berry pleased you made this. (Gluten Free + Dairy Free)

Sous Vide Beef Bourguignon
If this winter has you chilled to the bone, this Beef Bourguignon is just the kind of boeuf-y, hearty stew you need to warm you through from the inside out. Using the sous vide method allows the meat to really absorb all those flavors. It also allows you to cook that bad boy for 16+ hours at the perfect temp.
