So we settled on a couch. It’s not the exact look we wanted in a couch, but when we sat on it, we pretty much drowned in it. In a good way. Did you ever see that show on PBS, The Big Comfy Couch? I only had 4 channels growing up, so I watched A LOT of that show. Probably until I was 17. Ok, 18. Along with Arthur. That show was the best. You know what I’m talking about. Anyways, the couch on that show is what it reminded me of when I sat down. Kind of. Minus the weird clown girl. I wonder what she’s doing with her life nowadays.
So I took some of your advice and I started watching House of Cards. And as soon as I started watching it, I noticed that a ton of the bloggers I follow on instagram are obsessed with it. So it got me excited. I’ve watched probably 7-8 episodes by now, fallen asleep in a couple, but I’m still not quite sure if I’m into it. I think it’s because politics confuse me. Mostly because I don’t give an eff about politics. But I’m trying to keep up and stick with it. I’m hoping it gets more suspenseful. I like suspense.
Anyone watch the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Wonderful. Love it.
Anywho. I’ve started to settle in pretty well to this new apartment. It’s slowly but surely getting decorated and feeling more like a home. I just love it. But it’s just missing one thing: a French bulldog. I’ve wanted one for a while now, but had to wait for the right time. And I think you should sit on big decisions for a while. Like one of my tattoos. Should have sat on that thought for longer. Back to the point, we are looking for a little frenchie in Colorado to welcome into our home. Problem is, people tend to charge over $3,000 for French bulldogs here. And well, that’s ridiculous. I’m totally down to spend some money, but I’m not looking for a $6,000 show dog. Nope. Just a frenchie I can love, hang out at home with, talk to while I’m cooking, walk in my new neighborhood with, and make paleo dog treats for. I will love him, and kiss him, and hold him. But I first need to find a breeder in Colorado who charges less than $3,000. Oh the frustration.
Beef and Broccoli Cashew Stir Fry
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos (do not use liquid aminos, it will make it incredibly salty)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 crowns of broccoli, cut into florets
- salt and pepper, to taste
- couple tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
Instructions
- Whisk together coconut amines, orange juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, arrowroot powder, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Place sliced flank steak in a shallow bowl and pour whisked mixture on top of the meat to cover. Place in fridge and let refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After meat has refrigerated, place a large pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan when hot, then add broccoli florets. Sprinkle with a little salt and mix around in the pan to help crisp up. To make sure my broccoli gets soft, I use a teaspoon of water, add it to the pan and then cover to help steam the broccoli for just 1 minute.
- Once broccoli is cooked through to preference, remove from pan and set aside.
- Place pan back over high heat, add a little more coconut oil then add the meat and sauce directly to the hot pan, trying not to overcrowd the bottom of the pan. Cook meat until barely any pink remains, then add broccoli back to the pan, along with toasted cashews.
- Mix together and cook for 1 more minute. Serve!

Made this for dinner last night. Everybody loved it (and with six kids, that’s saying something!) Super easy and quick (except for the marinate for half an hour part). I am a dumb person, though, that had no idea whether to add the marinade with the meat. The recipe only says to add the meat. But I added a little marinade. Guess I was supposed to add all of it. Maybe clarify the recipe for people like me who aren’t intuitive.
P.S. Don’t feel bad about all the breeder haters. There are always vocal people who will disagree with anything you do. If you want lots of mean comments, try having a big family. Or not breastfeeding your babies. There will be plenty of people to tell you what a terrible person you are for making choices that don’t agree with their opinions.
This was beyond AMAZING!!!!!!!!
My daughter, who hates broccoli, couldn’t get enough of it. The whole family gave it 2 thumbs up. I can’t stop thinking about how good it was. I’m planning on making it a few more times this next week. AMAZING!!!
LOVE!!!!! fab! OMG!
I really, really want to make this, b/c it sounds amazing, but I don’t eat red meat. Will the flavors meld with chicken? LOVE every recipe I’ve ever tried from your blog!!
Best I have ever made. Well exceeds what the Chinese restaurant up the street is trying to serve me.
I have ever made. Thank you for this amazing recipe. Truthfully…this is better than any beef and brocoli I have had at any restaurant.
Great recipe!
FYI, frenchies cost so much because of all that is involved with breeding them. They have to be artificially inseminated, they require c sections, and US bred frenchies typically have 3 puppies per litter. Majority of owners have to actually track their ovulation! It’s nuts. They’re super cute but yea, mucho dinero.
i’ve heard that!! so crazy!
I made this Friday night for dinner. SOOOO YUMMY!!! We are adding it to the rotation. Even my boyfriends kids liked it!
So this might be a dumb question but did you cook the meat with the sauce? Or not?
yes
OMG! I am so glad I clicked on this post! Firstly, big comfy couch and Arthur both rocked and I watched both wellll into adulthood…..
2) My husband and I just picked up a Frenchie in Ohio 2 weeks ago! We were looking at adopting but felt the same as you – we wanted a puppy that we could mold, especially since we are planning on kids. He is adorable! We paid $2500, he was 6 months when we got him. That was on the low end of the price range! But his parents were both health checked and he is doing great. We are from Montreal so we drove about 10 hours to pick him up! Talk about dedication to a breed… (My husband would not settle for anything less than a Frenchie!)
Good luck on your search!
