Food Heals Every Body
The love affair with my Instant Pot continues! I’m wandering through Whole Foods frantically trying to figure out what to make for dinner. Why? Because a sunny day in the middle of January means Lynette spent some time on the golf course and is now frantically wandering through Whole Foods […]
I have found that one of the hardest things about being Paleo and or Grain-Free is that eating out can become a chore. You almost have to check your dietary preferences at the door along with your coat and just dive in knowing you’re not going to get what you […]
I’m sure my dislike of cold weather can be directly linked to my childhood. I grew up in a home where we were often reminded “money doesn’t grow on trees” and to “turn the light off when you leave a room”. Bless his heart, my Dad was frugal and always […]
How many times have you started a recipe, get half way through it, only to find that you don’t have a spice-blend that the recipe calls for? Spices such as Chili Powder or Cumin or Taco Seasoning Mix? Well, I say…make your own! For two reasons: 1) You can control […]
If you are still buying any kind of store-bought broth or stock – STOP IT!! Just STOP IT!! Why are you sabotaging your recipes? Anytime you cook with broth, consider this: The broth is the FOUNDATION of your dish. Why would you build a fabulous dish on a weak foundation? […]

I love pressure cookers. Especially when I’m making chili or stews because, let’s be honest…who has the time to simmer meat for 3 hours to get it to that oh-so-delicious, fall-apart-in-your-mouth stage? I don’t, that’s for sure!! If you haven’t heard of the Instant Pot, well, let me introduce you. […]
A few days before Christmas we had our friends Michael and Lynn over for a crab feast of Garlic Roasted Dungeness Crab that Mark and I do at least once a year. This year, I also made crab cakes which turned out heavenly. I haven’t made crab cakes since we went […]
Growing up one of my favorite greens that my Dad used to make was Collards. He’d start with some smoked ham hocks and go to town on them collards! These days I use bacon in my collard greens to give it that smoky taste which cuts down on time considerably. […]
