Sausage, apple & carrot hash
My brain said carrots and apples don’t go together! But my taste buds said ooohhhh yes, they do. (And my nearly-empty refrigerator said this is all we got, so you better make it work.) Hash is a delicious thing, and I appreciate it all the more since it’s a way to make something amazing out of … […]
Where to find good meat (and how much it’ll cost ya).
I absolutely adore Ron Swanson. But I dislike how little he understands what really constitutes good meat. (Buying half-thawed hamburger at the Food n’ Stuff? Really?) I used to think that “good meat” meant either “the best deal on the cheapest meat at the store” OR “the most mushy corn-fed steak possible.” Or, y’know, just…meat. I […]

Sesame-ginger pork meatballs with carrot “noodles”

Explaining food choices: what to say & why.
All too often, I’ve felt forced to explain – no, DEFEND – my food choices as if choosing to eat unprocessed food is some crazy, fringe choice that’ll leave me – what? – McDonald’s deficient? For a very long time, I approached the “so what’s this crazy ‘diet’ you do?” (ahem…the eating food that has always […]
Zucchini noodles in roasted red pepper-butternut sauce with savory chicken thighs
Long name for something I huffed down in about 3 minutes. It’s not often that I strike gold with a recipe. That said, I think I’ve discovered a pattern: any time I combine roasted red peppers with butternut squash, something magic happens. By “something magic” I mean “something edible.” Add zucchini noodles made with this […]
Review: The Paleo Kitchen (so hot right now.)
So…I just found out that Husband has never seen Zoolander. I don’t even know what to say, except…he will NEVER live this down. This will go in his eugoogooly. Anyway. There was a moment last night, when I was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, “Wow, I could really spend the […]
