Anti-Inflammatory "Philly" Steak & Pepper Roll-Ups
Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 15–20 minutes | Servings: 4–6

Ingredients
The Filling (Protein & Veggies)

1 lb Grass-fed ground beef or thinly sliced grass-fed steak

1 Green bell pepper, diced or julienned

1 small Onion, finely chopped

4 oz Cashew-based cream cheese or cultured goat cheese (easier to digest than cow's milk)

1 tbsp Coconut aminos (a soy-free, anti-inflammatory substitute for Worcestershire sauce)

Seasoning: 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp turmeric (for anti-inflammatory benefits), salt, and black pepper

The Wraps

8–12 slices Provolone-style vegan cheese (coconut oil based) or thin, grain-free cassava flour tortillas

1 tbsp Ghee or avocado oil (for sautéing)

Garnish

Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
Sauté the Filling: In a large skillet, heat the ghee or avocado oil over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until browned; drain any excess fat. Add the green peppers and onions, sautéing for 3–5 minutes until tender.

Combine: Stir in the plant-based cream cheese (or goat cheese) and coconut aminos. Season with garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix until the mixture is creamy and well combined, then remove from heat.

Prepare the Wraps: * Cold Roll: Lay out your chosen cheese alternative or grain-free tortilla. Spoon the beef mixture along one edge and roll tightly.

Crispy Method: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place slices on the sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes until bubbly. Let cool for 30 seconds until pliable, then fill and roll.

Bake/Crisp: Place the roll-ups seam-side down on a baking tray. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until the exterior is golden and the filling is hot.

Finish: Garnish generously with fresh parsley. The antioxidants in the parsley and turmeric complement the healthy fats in this dish perfectly.

Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna
A vegetarian-friendly variation that replaces traditional tomato sauce with a velvety white sauce to perfectly complement earthy sautéed mushrooms.

Ingredients
Pasta: 9–12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente.

Vegetables: 1 lb fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced; 10 oz fresh spinach; 1 small onion, finely chopped; and 3 cloves of garlic, minced.

White Sauce (Béchamel): Butter, all-purpose flour, and milk (roughly 3–4 cups).

Cheeses: 2 cups shredded mozzarella, 2 cups ricotta cheese, and 1 cup grated Parmesan.

Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs or nutmeg for the sauce.

Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic, sautéing for 5–7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and soft. Stir in the spinach until wilted, then remove from heat.

Make the White Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg or herbs.

Assemble: * Spread a thin layer of white sauce at the bottom of the baking dish.

Add a layer of lasagna noodles.

Spread a portion of the ricotta, followed by a layer of the mushroom and spinach mixture.

Drizzle with more white sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella.

Repeat layers (typically 3 times), finishing with a generous layer of white sauce and mozzarella on top.

Bake: Bake for 30–40 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the layers set properly.

Pan-Fried Chive Cakes (Jiucai Hezi)
Prep time: 35 minutes (includes resting) | Cook time: 10 minutes | Yield: 6–12 pockets

Ingredients
The Dough

250g–500g All-purpose wheat flour

150ml–250ml Water (use half boiling, half cold for a softer "tang mian" crust)

1 pinch Salt (approx. 2g)

The Filling

250g–500g Chinese chives, finely chopped

3–6 large Eggs, scrambled and chopped into small bits

1 tbsp Cooking oil

½ tsp Sesame oil

To taste: Salt, white pepper powder, and optional five-spice powder

Optional: Finely chopped carrots or dried mini shrimp for texture

Instructions
Prepare the Dough: Mix the flour and salt. Gradually add water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth (approx. 5–7 minutes), then cover and let rest for at least 20 minutes.

Make the Filling: * Wash and thoroughly dry chives before chopping to prevent a watery filling.

Toss chopped chives with 1 tbsp oil immediately to "lock in" moisture.

Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces. Once cooled, combine with the chives and add seasonings.

Assemble: Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each into a thin disk. Place a generous amount of filling in the center, gather the edges to seal completely, and gently press into a flat pancake.

Pan-Fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place cakes in the pan and cook for 3–5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Flip: Cook the other side until it bubbles slightly and reaches a matching golden brown color.

Optional: 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

The Spicy Mediterranean Dressing

1/2 cup Full-fat Greek yogurt (a nutrient-dense alternative to mayonnaise)
