Coffee Rubbed Steak

Prep time: 20 minutes | Cook time: 8-10 minutes | Total time: 30 minutes | Serves: 2

My family does a lot of grilling during the warmer months and after a while, we need a change from our usual fare.

Steak tends to be the meat of my boys’ choice most of the time, so it is nice to have a few different ways to prepare it.

One way that we enjoy it is coffee-rubbed.

A lot of Red-eye steaks call for gravy to be made with the coffee grounds, which is fine during the winter.

When we are grilling though, the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove!

We had to figure out how to get all those great flavours of a Red-eye steak, into a grilled steak. This is what we came up with!

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp finely ground coffee beans (fresh is best, but if you don’t have a grinder, pre-ground works too!)
• 1 ½ tsp packed dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• 2 (1 to 1 ½ “ thick) striploin steaks- about
• 2 tsp oil, divided

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except for the steak and the oil together in a small bowl.

2. Rub the spice mixture into the steaks, making sure to season the edges and the sides. Set on a plate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Or you can refrigerate uncovered several hours or overnight. Just make sure the steak comes to room temperature before grilling. (This greatly affects how tender your steak will be!)

3. Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high, direct heat. Brush each steak with 1 tsp of oil.

4. Place the steaks on the grill, cover and grill until grill marks form on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to grill until desired doneness, about 2 minutes for 130-135F or medium-rare. If the steaks are browning too quickly, turn down the gas, or move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill.

5. Transfer steaks to a clean cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks on a diagonal to ¼ “ thick slices.

Chicken Enchiladas

Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 45 minutes | Total time: 60 minutes | Serves: 8

My family loves Mexican food – specifically my middle child.

Whenever it is his turn to cook a meal, some form of Mexican or Tex-Mex is sure to be made that night for dinner!

My family and I have tried many recipes for enchiladas, and this one has been by far the easiest and quickest while still providing lots of great flavor and being filling without having to add a lot of sides to make it stretch to feed 5 big eaters. 

I love the flexibility of this recipe as well! 

Don’t like flour tortillas, or need to be gluten-free?

Use corn tortillas instead (my preferred, but the rest of my family disagrees with me).

Like it spicier, or less spicy? 

It’s easy to adjust the level to your liking.

There are so many options for toppings as well- so if I miss some and you feel adventurous, just add what your heart tells you to add!

If you’re looking for a practical and profitable fundraiser, try online food fundraising with TeamFund!

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Avocado oil (or olive oil)

• 1 small white onion, peeled and diced

• 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into ½” cubes

• 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles

• Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)

• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)

• 8 large flour tortillas

• 3 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

• 1 large can red enchilada sauce (or you can make your own)

• Optional toppings: cilantro, chopped red onions, green onions, avocado, sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese etc

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Prepare your enchilada sauce (if you are making your own)

2. In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Add diced chicken and green chiles. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Saute for approximately 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add in the beans (if using) and stir until evenly combined. Remove pan from heat and set aside.

4. To assemble the enchiladas, set up an assembly line- tortillas, sauce, chicken mixture, and cheese. Lay out a tortilla, spread 2 tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with a ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Continue assembling the remaining enchiladas. Spread the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas, followed by the remaining cheese.

5. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the enchiladas are cooked through and the tortillas are slightly crispy on the outside. 

6. Serve the enchiladas immediately while they are still all nice and melty, and garnish with all the topping your heart desires!

PRO TIP: To stretch this recipe even further, you can serve it with a side of Spanish rice and refried beans!

Grilled Hawaiian Beef Kabobs

Prep time: 45 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Total time: approx. 1 hour | Serves: 12 skewers

Boys!!

Whenever we ask our family what they would like to eat, the boys answer, “steak.”

Ugh. Some of us can only eat so much steak before we are bored of the flavors and presentation!

Thankfully, we have some palettes in the house who were willing to try some new flavors!

I made these kabobs as a way to satisfy my boys’ desire for steak, my athletic daughter’s need for vegetables and fruit, and my husband’s recent pineapple craving.

I must say we instantly fell in love with these flavours and the ease of this recipe – and it is now in the regular rotation!

I served these with pineapple rice (recipe also included below) and a salad to balance everything out.

Beef Kabobs

• 1 ½ pounds top sirloin steak cut into 1” pieces
• 1 red pepper cut into 1” pieces
• 1 green pepper cut into 1” pieces
• ½ fresh pineapple cut into 1” chunks
• Mushrooms
• ¼ red onion cut into 1” pieces

Instructions

1. Soak 12 wood skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl combine the marinade ingredients. Whisk until well mixed. Reserve 1 cup of the marinade.

3. Add beef to the remaining marinade in a bowl. Toss to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. If marinating longer, be sure to refrigerate.

4. Meanwhile add reserved 1 cup marinade to a small saucepan and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half

5. Prep the pineapple and veggies.

6. Pre heat the grill to high. Layer beef and veggies on the skewers. Layer them so ingredients are touching, but not crowded together.

7. Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes preside, coating with the reduced marinade every time you turn them.

8. Remove from grill and serve.

Blackened Chicken Burgers

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 10 – 15 minutes | Total time: under 30 minutes | Serves: 2

My family loves burgers!

But with a serious athlete in the mix we needed to find an easy solution to feed the burger-hungry and keep the athlete amongst us happy and fed as well.

We had tried various ways of cooking chicken breast to make chicken burgers, but this is by far one of our favorites!

Lots of flavor (you can adjust the spicy level to suit your family’s taste buds – we love spicy!) and quick to make for those workdays that are also running everyone everywhere type days.

This recipe is for 2 servings, but is easily doubled or tripled and can be done on the BBQ (great for hot summer days!) or cooked in a cast iron skillet (any skillet will do really; cast iron provides the most even cooking)

If you’re looking for a practical and profitable fundraiser, try online food fundraising with TeamFund!

Ingredients

• ½ tsp paprika

• ⅛ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (leave out if you dont like spicy food, add a tiny bit more if you like it spicy!)

• ¼ tsp cumin

• ¼ tsp thyme

• ⅛ tsp fine ground pepper

• ⅛ tsp onion powder

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

• Buns and topping for your burgers- we used lettuce, green peppers, dill pickles, cheese, chipotle Aoli, tomatoes, etc. 

Instructions

1. Heat BBQ to 350 degrees, or heat a cast iron skillet on the stove until it is smoking hot

2. Mix together all your spices. Lightly oil the chicken breasts with cooking spray on both sides, then coat the chicken breasts evenly with the spice mixture. (you may want to wear gloves for this as it can be difficult to get the cayenne residue off your hands!)

3. Place the chicken on the BBQ turning occasionally until no longer pink in the middle and juices run clear. If cooking in the skillet, pour a tiny bit of oil into the heated pan, cook until no longer pink inside, turning the chicken about halfway through cooking.

4. Place cooked chicken breast on prepared bun, with all your favorite toppings and enjoy!

We also tend to serve a salad or vegetable on the side to help fill everyone and make sure we are getting all our recommended veggies in for the day!

Blueberry Balsamic Chicken

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 35 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes | Serves: 4

I remember growing up it seemed that my mom had 5 or 6 meals on rotation, and meal time got boring really quickly.

Now for my family, we are always looking for new ways to prepare healthy meals to keep things interesting and mealtimes exciting! 

 It is summertime right now, and I had picked up a case of blueberries at the market.

After everyone ate their fill of fresh berries, I still had some left that I wanted to use. I thought why not use them for dinner!

This meal ended up tasting like Christmas Dinner with a summery twist, and even my picky eater liked it!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

Stuffed Chicken Parmesan

Prep time: 7 minutes | Cook time: 23 minutes | Total time: 30 minutes | Serves: 4

Making stuffed Parmesan can seem daunting and looks fancy, but it’s quite fun and easy to do.

Best of all, the kids love it, and it’s a real family favourite.

This 3 step recipe is good for weeknights or for weekends at home. 

If you’re looking for a practical and profitable fundraiser, try online food fundraising with TeamFund!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2lbs chicken breast (approximately 4 medium) We used Bow River Meats All Natural Chicken
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten well with a fork
• ½ cup plain panko or bread crumbs
• ⅓ cup finely grated parmesan (you want the real stuff, not out of a shaker)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more as needed
• 2 cups marinara sauce (your own or your favorite from a jar)
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

Have your chicken breasts defrosted (or mostly defrosted) in your kitchen.

1. Season your chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cut a deep slit into each breast, without cutting all the way through (butterfly it). Stuff each breast with 2-3 Tbsp of mozzarella, closing the edges to seal.
2. Set up 3 pie plates. On the first pie plate, place the flour. In the second beat the eggs with a fork with a small splash of milk (milk is optional). In the third, combine the panko and the grated parmesan.
3. Working with 1 stuffed breast at a time, carefully dredge in flour, tapping off any excess. Next dip into the beaten eggs, letting excess egg drip back into the pie plate. Finally dip in the panko mixture, turning a couple of times to ensure a good coating.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large deep pan or dutch oven. Ensure the oil coats the pan. When the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken to the pan in a single layer and saute for approximately 4 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides.
5. Pour the marinara around the chicken breast and spoon a bit onto each breast. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the stuffed chicken. Bake uncovered at 400 F for 15-20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 F when inserted into the chicken. 
6. Serve over a long pasta like spaghetti or fettuccine.
