What a whirlwind week! I spent the last six days in North Carolina working for Lisa on her upcoming cookbook (due to be released by Harper Collins, January 2014). Lisa hired me to shoot the food photography (pinch me!) and Kelly – a long-time friend - is shooting the lifestyle shots. My girls traveled with me and had a blast playing with Lisa’s daughters [...]

 As the temperatures drop and we get closer to the holidays, I like to stock my pantry with flavorful herbs, spices and specialty oils. My “can’t-go-without” list looks like this: Pumpkin pie spice Cinnamon sticks Ground cinnamon Dried thyme Italian seasoning Garlic powder Sea salt Cocoa Powder Black peppercorns Pumpkin seed oil Black truffle oil [...]

October 10, 2012

A year without grains, an anniversary, and a birthday. One year ago, I challenged myself and my readers to try going thirty days without eating grains. I never imagined this fall would arrive with me still grain-free. I’m so happy I made the change to my diet and my health has improved far beyond what [...]

Sautéed Leafy Greens

October 5, 2012

It’s been a busy week. A family member was very sick, so I spent most of my week in Texas helping provide care. What a privilege to spend precious time with family, cooking soups, organic, grass-fed meats, and all sorts of leafy greens! We all enjoyed this simple, leafy green recipe. The greens are rich [...]

In a time when so many companies and farms seem to add unnecessary steps and ingredients to their food, it’s always nice to see people producing food the right way. While it’s important to know the not-so-great part of our food supply, I also want to highlight those who produce food using only the highest [...]

Somedays I start feeling discouraged about the food situation in America. I try to focus on the good being done by so many, but it often seems we’re up against giants. The companies that produce GMOs or sell foods with dozens of harmful ingredients have footholds everywhere I look. I wish politicians who promise to [...]

I’ve read many on the web talking about their frustration with people making treats out of unprocessed ingredients. I sort of see their point. If you’re going to eat unprocessed, then it’s always the best option to eliminate sweets out of your diet, but how many of us really want to foods only as they [...]

How to Roast Bell Peppers

September 13, 2012

Roasted bell peppers are an easy food to make at home, but often times we purchase them from the store instead. Many roasted and jarred bell peppers contain preservatives and additives that are best to avoid if possible. Making roasted bell peppers at home is another small change you can make to move towards a [...]

Chicken Parmesan with Zucchini Noodles (Grain Free, Paleo, Primal, Gaps, Gluten Free)

September 10, 2012

For years, my Sunday night ritual centered on a bowl of noodles. Garlic noodles to be exact – buttery, creamy, a little salty and sweet. Since going grain free, I stopped my ritual and I occasionally miss that bowl of noodles. It’s not necessarily the taste I miss, but the comfort of a meal in [...]

I think I might be having too much fun with desserts. I haven’t developed a new sweet-tooth, but am fascinated and challenged by just how many recipes there are to create without grains. I fell in love with this dessert many years ago, when I bought a copy of Everyday Italian. It’s a classic Italian [...]
