A Discada, or Cowboy Wok, is a round cooking dish perfect for jazzing up your outdoor cooking routine. With the start of the summer just around the corner I am looking forward to experimenting more with this fun tool.
Traditionally made from a retired plow disc, a Discada is welded closed forming a perfect shallow wok. It’s typically known for Mexican style dishes but due to the size, it’s amazing for large group meals and is an extremely versatile addition to your outdoor kitchen.
I use a 22″ Discada and 12″ burner stand from Carolina Cooker but you can easily personalize a setup that works best for your family. I love how this set up is fairly portable and allows for easy set up no matter where you want to cook out.
I’ve compiled my favorite discada recipes here for you to enjoy, and I’d love to learn what recipes are your favorites. Leave a note in the comments and I’ll keep adding to this list!

Bread has become a hot ticket item as social distancing measure start to take full effect. Instead of lining up at the store in the wee hours of the morning, flip on your oven and try your hand at baking homemade bread.
Once you see how easy homemade bread can be to make at home you may never pick up the pre-sliced store brand again!
On busy weeknights the Instant Pot is a lifesaver. If you are new to Instant Pot cooking this is a great basic recipe to add to your repertoire!
One of my favorite things about cooking Instant Pot Chicken is the ability to start with frozen meat and still have dinner on the table in less than a half hour. Pressure cooking speeds up the prep time, making even frozen meats perfectly cooked and tender in just enough time to walk to dog.
Place the trivet that came with your instant pot in the bottom of the basin. This will keep your chicken from sticking to the bottom as it cooks.
Add in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and pour your Nobel Made Marinade Sauce over the top. I use a combination of the Nobel Made Classic Sauce and Hot & Spicy. The Hot and Spicy brings a small amount of ‘heat’ to the flavor without becoming spicy.
I first discovered Nobel Made Marinades while I was doing Whole 30 and they have quickly become my go to cooking sauce. Perfect for stir fry, adding to meat loaf or burgers, or as a marinade, the sauces really lend a great flavor to both meat and vegetables.
Set the Instant Pot to 10 mins for defrosted chicken or 15 mins for frozen. Once the cooking time has elapsed use the quick release method to depressurize your pot.
Remove the chicken breasts and trivet leaving the mushrooms and sauce in the pot. Switch over to the saute setting on the Instant Pot and saute until the cooking sauce has reduced down. Serve the mushrooms on top of your chicken for the perfect quick dinner!
Stand alone this is a fully Whole30 compliant meal!

While extremely necessary, grocery shopping can quickly become one of the last things I want to do. I just started a new job and as I’m getting settled into the role and commute, the less I have to think about at home the better.
Easy meals like Kielbasa with Perogies are my go to on work nights. I first discovered Niman Ranch when I was doing Whole 30 last year and since then they have become one of my favorite brands to cook with.
