Step 1: Visit the San Pedro butcher shop for your imported/specialty meats, cheeses, and fresh mushrooms (misc stuff too, our homemade BBQ sauces, olive oil, etc).
Step 2: Walk 5 min away towards the Santiago dock and hit Geronimo’s farm (not affiliated w/ Joe’s, just the freshest stuff around).
Step 3: Pick your produce needs.
Step 4: Combine into your dish of preference (ours tonight was a bolognese-ish sauce; I say ish due to some lack of traditional ingredients).*
Step 5: Enjoy!
Smokin’ Joe’s shop is open Tues-Fri in San Pedro La Laguna!
*This photoset/dish is simply what the editor decided to do w/their Smokin’ Joe’s buys. The creativity part is all YOU! The farm is optional but recommended for the freshest stuff.
The #truestory of how a tiny butcher shop & a local farm that uses no pesticides make my meals fantastic :) Thanks everyone!
Cupcakes are good. They sing a siren song. It goes omnomnomnomnom…
Recipe makes about a dozen large cupcakes.
Ingredients
2 cups of standard flour (you can use wholemeal if you want, just add a bit more liquid)
1 cup of sugar - I like soft brown sugar, but white is fine too. If you want to use less sugar, swap out half a cup for a half cup of mashed banana.
1 teaspoon of baking soda
A pinch of salt
½ cup of vegetable oil
¾ cup non dairy milk. You can use water if you want, but add a little more sugar and oil, not much.
1 tablespoon vanilla essence - more if you want a strong vanilla flavour, less if you want a fairly neutral taste or to use the recipe as a base.
Now, here’s where you have some options. Pick one of the following:
2 tablespoons of ground linseed (some call it flaxseed) and 6 tablespoons of water. You could use chia seeds instead, but they’re pricey.
1 teaspoon of baking soda and two tablespoons of vinegar (white, rice, or apple cider)
½ a cup of mashed banana or smooth applesauce (this will alter the flavour a bit)
Two portions of egg replacer (it’s pricey around here, but that might be different where you are)
The lazy way
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celcius (350 Farenheight). Grease a muffin pan, or use those little cupcake paper thingies.
Combine all the dry ingredients. You should really sift them, but I’m lazy. I find just putting them all in a bowl and running a whisk (or a fork if you don’t have a whisk) through them works well enough.
Add the linseed/water mix, or whichever option you chose, the vanilla, and about half the oil and non dairy milk. Stir everything in. Add more oil and non dairy milk slowly, till you get a medium batter you can pour or spoon in the tray without too much trouble. This recipe is pretty forgiving so don’t worry too much.
Pour or spoon out the batter, and put the tray in the oven.
Come back in about five minutes to check on them. They cook quickly. You can test them by tapping a fingertip or spoon on top of one - if it bounces back a little bit, it’s ready. The “stick a toothpick in it” method also works. Toothpick should come out clean. You don’t want them to be too brown on top.
Here’s the deal. I like pizza. A lot. Like, if I had to live on pizza alone, I’d probably be pretty ok with that. I’d build a fort out of the pizza boxes and hoard olives like a vengeful olive hoarding dragon.
Sadly, I have yet to work out how to replicate the amazing basil sauce the local pizza place does, and I’m too broke to afford even cheap pizza on a regular basis.
So sometimes I make pizza at home.
Some ready made dairy free cheeses are available here in New Zealand - and they’re pretty good, but they’re not super cheap. Hummus isn’t always super cheap either (unless you’re making it from scratch, then it’s definitely super cheap), but by weight, hummus is usually cheaper than dairy cheese anyway and it goes further. So here is my lazy cheese sauce for pizza, dips, toasties, sandwiches, etc.
THINGS THOU SHALT REQUIRE:
Hummus (plain or garlic)
Vegetable oil
THINGS THOU MAYST LIKE TO ADD:
Lemon juice
Brewers yeast (add slowly, it has a strong flavour, so taste test as you go)
Salt
Thyme
Mustard (I like wholegrain but go with whatever you like)
Coconut cream (seriously, it’s weird but it does some kind of sorcery to smooth out all the flavours)
HOW THOU SHALT PROCEED:
Half hummus, half oil, stir until combined (it’ll be kinda globby at first).
Add any extra stuff you like. Personally I like a splash of lemon juice, a tablespoon of mustard, a pinch of thyme, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of coconut cream (the fatty part). I like quite a sharp taste with this sauce, if you’d rather something creamier or more subtle, go for more oil, and more coconut cream.
Glob it on pizzas (it gets thicker when cooked), sandwiches, whatever you want.
Crust-free lemon-lime meringue pie. Remind me how it’s inadvisable to eat pie straight out if the oven when 1) it, like revenge, is best enjoyed cold, and 2) when at this temperature it would burn one’s mouth quite miserably, thereby making the enjoyment of pie impossible for days, if not weeks to come. ETA: SURE, pie can be rectangular! Indeed, as our buddy Max just pointed out, it can be even be… (wait for it… )
Thank you #guavatree I feel like it’s a little early for #guavas but I’m not complaining. Got 5 pieces of #guava from our tree already. It would’ve been 6 but one was already too far gone - gravity beat me to it and the yellow fruit, which would’ve been hella #sweet was already on the ground partially squished from the fall. Sadge. There are 4 more still on the tree - 2 look like they’re over ripe and will probably fall to the ground too. They’re way too high for me to get to even if I stand on a step stool especially given my shoulder issues. Mom’s been enjoying the guavas. #nomnomnom #fruit #harvest #garden #backyardgarden #fruits #masarap #foodporn #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/CdryCyirKLf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My friend had a lot of salmon at her place and offered to cook for myself and a mutual friend who was visiting from Spain. At the time of this dinner, she was on Whole30, so naturally our meal was Whole30 approved.
Cauliflower rice with mushrooms and carrots, pan fried salmon topped with mango salsa, and a side of baked vegetables.
I’ve grown up in Jersey, but it was in NY that I’m finally trying Jersey Mike’s. Subs are good, but I never crave them and I never get subs for lunch. Today was a different story.
A mini portion of the Super Sub with Mike’s Way without the onions.
A Jurassic without walnuts, so it has field greens, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, chopped apple, and sunflower seeds with lemon squeeze and olive oil as salad dressing:
