Note: You probably won’t drool at my pictures much, since I was cooking this at 9:30 at night and taking snapshots with my phone… but you can skip over to the link to the original for pretty ones. Sorry I didn’t deliver this time! Inspired by Pastor Ryan’s Eggs Florentine casserole… basically I looked at… Continue Reading

“Real Food” Grain-free Gluten-Free Muffins/Cupcakes
So recently, I’ve been going through my internet bookmarks trying to sort things out – deleting bookmarks, and clipping things to Evernote (which OMG I am LOVING by the way). And I came across this recipe for Nut Butter Muffins on Grain-Free Foodies. Well I’ve had a jar of almond butter in my fridge for… Continue Reading
Primal Braised Beef Short Rib Recipe
One problem I tend to have with a lot of meat recipes is the sauce… so often recipes call for bottled sauces loaded with sugar, or soup packets mixed with ketchup and coke (not even kidding), or various other gross-sounding concoctions. So for this braised beef short rib recipe, I decided to just wing the… Continue Reading
Spaghetti Squash Bacon Thing
This was one of those random “gotta make something for dinner and have no meat thawed” meals. Not really well thought-out, but it was decently tasty. First I cooked some spaghetti squash (poked holes in it with a knife, and baked it at 350 for about an hour, then cut it in half and let… Continue Reading
Exciting Swiss Chard and/or Spinach Recipe
Here’s another gorgeous vegetable from my CSA basket – Swiss Chard! I suppose it’s in the same category as “greens” like mustard greens, collard greens, kale, that sort of thing. But it’s really not as tough or fibrous as those – it’s kind of like a cross between “greens” and spinach, which has a high… Continue Reading
Creamed Spinach Recipe
We’ve been getting spinach in our CSA basket, but I’m not sure if my husband has actually gotten to eat any of it… I keep making creamed spinach for myself and gobbling it up for lunches. Can you blame me though? It only takes a few minutes to make (depending on how cooked you like… Continue Reading
Broccolini and my New! Pan!
This week in our CSA basket, we got a couple bunches of adorable broccolini. Sometimes it’s called “baby broccoli” but it’s really not. It’s a cross between broccoli and kai-lan, which is Chinese broccoli (so says Wikipedia). It’s very delicate and not something you want to overcook, so light steaming or sauteing/stir-frying it are good… Continue Reading
Baked Oven Fries Recipe
I guess if I say “baked” then of course they’re in the oven and I don’t also need to say “oven fries” but… oh well. That’s what this post is gonna be called. So we bought all these potatoes because, well… I’ve been making stews lately and potatoes are good in there (I might use… Continue Reading
Loaded Baked Potato Leek Soup
We got leeks last Tuesday in our CSA basket, and I wasn’t exactly sure what to do with them. I know they’re basically like big huge fat green onions, but didn’t really have a plan for them. So I googled around and found things like potato leek soup, cauliflower leek soup, things like that. So… Continue Reading
What to Do With Lemons: Raw Lemon Cookie Recipe
I wrote earlier about life giving me lemons, and how that’s a GOOD thing. I love lemons! They are beautiful, taste great in and on so many things, and smell amazing. But sometimes, life (or your boss/friend/neighbor/tree) might give you something closer to 5 dozen lemons at a time. And there’s only so much lemonade… Continue Reading

Crispy Skin Chicken Thighs and Roasted Cauliflower
This is SUCH a simple meal to make that it is one of our standards. If we don’t have anything else planned, heck, there are probably some chicken thighs in the freezer we can thaw, and we always have some sort of veggie lying around that we can throw in the oven to roast, right?… Continue Reading
