Ginger Turmeric Chicken Soup Recipe

This is the ultimate cold weather soup. Inspired by my mother in law’s delicious turmeric chicken soup, this ginger turmeric chicken soup recipe makes frequent appearances in our rotation all winter long. It’s easy to make, and you’ll usually have most of the ingredients you need on hand – just pick up a couple turmeric roots on your next grocery trip that you can have ready for when the mood strikes.

As with traditional chicken soup recipes, you first make the broth with a whole chicken and aromatics. Then, the fun begins, and you can then add color, texture, and lots of flavor to your soup with grated veggies.

This is my go-to soup when I’m feeling stuffy or under the weather. There’s nothing like a steamy, rich broth with ginger to make me feel clear again.

London Fog Drink – Earl Grey Tea Latte Recipe

Next time you want to sip on something warm and comforting, try a London Fog Latte. I’ve been hooked ever since a friend encouraged me to order one at a local coffee shop. As soon as I took my first sip, I was determined to figure out how to make them myself.

A London Fog Latte is now my go-to drink whenever I need a hug in a mug. Start-to-finish, it takes about as long as brewing a cup of coffee, and you probably have all of the ingredients on hand right now.

Primal, Paleo, and Gluten-free Swedish Meatballs

Swedish meatballs can be a main course, but their small size is ideal for an appetizer, ready to be poked with a toothpick or picked up by hungry fingers. But if you’re not planning a festive smorgasbord in the near future, then just stash these meaty morsels in the fridge for middle of the week snacking.

The allspice and nutmeg seasoning in these Swedish meatballs is subtle, but enough to be noticed, and makes the dish taste different from your average meatball. Swedish meatballs are usually made with a blend of beef and pork, which you could certainly do, but here, we’re using grass-fed beef.

If you’re on TikTok and you come across food and recipe videos from time to time, there’s no doubt you’ve seen Emily Mariko’s viral Salmon Rice recipe. Here at Mark’s Daily Apple, we swooned as hard as everyone else, but wanted a lower carb, grain-free option.

Here’s how to make it.
Low-carb TikTok Inspired Salmon Rice Bowls

Ingredients

2 6oz. wild-caught salmon portions
3 tablespoons Primal Kitchen® No Soy Teriyaki
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cups cauliflower rice (I used frozen)
Nori sheets
Sesame seeds
More No Soy Teriyaki or coconut aminos

Toppings Options

1 shredded carrot
6 sliced radishes
3 chopped scallions
1 sliced avocado
Kimchi
Cucumbers
Daikon
Snap peas
Shredded bell pepper
Pickled veggies
Pickled onion
Fried egg

Spicy Mayo

3 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Mayo
Sriracha sauce, to taste

Directions
Place the salmon portions in a glass dish. Combine the sesame oil and teriyaki sauce in a small bowl and pour the mixture all over the salmon.

Bake the salmon at 375 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roast your cauliflower rice on a sheet pan until it is tender but not too browned.

When the salmon is fully cooked and has cooled for a little bit, shred it with two forks. Toss half of the salmon with the cauliflower rice and place it into two bowls. Place the rest of the salmon on top of the cauliflower.

Add your favorite toppings to the bowl. We used peeled carrot, sliced radishes, scallions, and sliced avocado. You could also use things like kimchi, cucumbers, pickled radishes or onions. Feel free to top with more of the no soy teriyaki or some coconut aminos.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayo with as much or as little sriracha sauce as you’d like. Drizzle the spicy mayo on top of the bowls.

Garnish with sesame seeds or seaweed seasoning and place some nori sheet pieces on the side and enjoy!

Tips

These bowls can be made with leftover salmon or other proteins like shredded chicken or steamed or sauteed shrimp. You can also put a fried egg on top.
Topping ideas: radishes, cucumbers, green onion, carrot, daikon, thinly shredded cabbage, avocado, sliced pepper, zucchini noodles, snap peas

Mark’s Big-Ass Keto Salad

Readers, I come to you today to extol the virtue—nay, defend the honor—of the big-ass keto salad. You might not think such a thing is necessary, but you’d be surprised how many people minimize their vegetable intake when they’re eating keto, believing (erroneously) that vegetables must play only a small supporting role in a keto diet.

Yes, it’s true that keto is a low-carb diet, and it’s also true that vegetables contain carbohydrates. Some more than others, but even the lowest-carb vegetables contain some. But that’s not a reason to cut big, colorful, delicious salads out of your life.
