If it isn’t obvious by now, I live off grains. I could sustain myself on a variety of grains or pastas with an assortment of roasted vegetables. My husband on the other hand, really only wants meat. He’s a good sport and humours my would-be vegetarianism fairly frequently, but it’s not often that I make […]
There are recipes that make you feel like you could run a marathon, simply because of the energy and nutrition they provide you with. Then, there are recipes that make you feel like putting on sweatpants, getting comfy in front of the fire and never leaving the house. Chrissy Teigen’s Mac & Cheese is one […]

I searched for ages, trying to find a recipe for carnitas that didn’t involve using […]
I’m not eating eggs that often. I love eggs and this is very upsetting. In fact, I had blood taken for a food sensitivity test and it let me know that I shouldn’t be eating any dairy, egg whites, corn, peas, or food or drink made using brewer’s yeast. Essentially, all of the things that […]
Happy New Year! It’s the 6th, so I guess we’re getting to the point where it’s no longer necessary to mention that it’s 2018. I have several new cookbooks to share recipes with you this year.
