Dinner - The Kandid Kitchen

German Cabbage & Apples

This time of year feels like you’re torn between spring and winter. We still have a lot of winter to get through, but there are some really nice days. And at the farmer markets you can still see the winter cabbages and squashes, but we also have great...

Nourishing Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup

Nourishing soups are coming to the forefront of everything that I’m doing as the weather turns colder (sorta - I mean, does it ever get REALLY cold in California?). This nourishing butternut squash and sweet potato soup is literally bursting with flavor,...

Instant Pot: Maple Bourbon Chili with Bison (grain free, dairy free, nut free)

Chicken Bacon Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

I’m gonna get right to the point on this one. This dressing will seriously make you want to drink it with a straw. It’s THAT good! Only real food ingredients and a dish that will have your guests raving. I actually made this for some friends this past week when...

Chicken and Butternut Squash Lasagna

I wish that my pictures did more justice to this lasagna. Sometimes I have recipes pop into my head, and I just know they’re going to be amazing! It’s pretty fun when that actually turns out to be true! If you can make the butternut squash cream and chicken ahead of...
