I can’t find my computer glasses so will just post the notes I gathered the recipe in. Here we go: Melt over medium-high heat: Sauté: Add-in: Bring to boil. Stir-in: Return to boil. Turn to medium. Cover with lid cook. Cook 45 minutes or until peas are soft. If soupy, cook 15 minutes with lid… Continue reading Hattie’s Hoppin’ John
This stew is modified from a recipe originally printed in Gourmet in 1954. You can use any protein, though lamb is traditional. I usually do beef. I also only know how to make it BIG. It is worth it. Serve with rice, couscous, or your other favorite substrate. Freeze the rest for later. You will thank me.
I love a good meatloaf. I grew up with bland but passable meatloaf that I loved because my dad made it and it meant that I could eat instant mashed potatoes as a side dish. I served this as leftovers with other remainders, in this case, scalloped cauliflower and mashed sweet potatoes. Paleo Meatloaf… Continue reading Paleo Meatloaf
I love pancakes, but man they can be horrible. If they are too dense, they sit heavily in the belly, if too thin, they are flat and lifeless. I like a bit of rise to my pancake. A round bit of fluffy goodness. Paleo Pancakes are even harder and I have been trying everyone’s version.… Continue reading Pancakes – Paleo and Not
I may have mentioned that I buy the natural meats that the manager has put on special and freeze them until I am ready to cook them. I had defrosted sausages with blue cheese in anticipation of the previously mentioned grill day that wasn’t, so I found myself with a need to make sausage. I ran… Continue reading One-Dish Creamy Pasta with Sausage
Sometimes you need to make dinner for a group that night without planning or when you have a long day at work or away from home, or you have to bring a dish to a potluck when you are really busy all around the event and do not have time for shopping or really even… Continue reading Easy Slow Cooker Chili
Some days are easier than others. You may have started the day thinking you would grill chicken to end up grazing popcorn and macaroni and cheese. That is how Sunday went. Admittedly, it was oil popped popcorn with no adds chemicals and my creamy homemade gluten-free macaroni and cheese with bacon add, but still not… Continue reading Best Barbecue Chicken in the Slow Cooker
Tofu can be a pain. If you want a scramble it is easy enough, but if you want cubes in your soups or squares in your stir fry, it needs to stay in one piece (of the size and shape chosen). I had friends coming for dinner on a work day to enjoy the company… Continue reading Tofu Three Ways
Yet another Paleo bread creation that I am pleased with is the Paleo English Muffin. I was really missing them with their dense yet try texture when I was a Paleo woman and did my best to invent one that would stand up to the standard uses (Eggs Benedict, Egg Sandwiches), and while I did not… Continue reading Paleo English Muffins
Even I, as a stay at home, work from home, new mamma, do not always have time for my preferred level of home cooking. Sometimes #Babysatyr takes up all of my time with snuggles and diapers. Sometimes the Office needs me to perform urgent (read: time sensitive) tasks. For such occasions it is especially… Continue reading Weeknight Cooking: Vegetable Lo Mein with Tofu
