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.
My regular readers can probably guess that this involves a slow cooker. Everything easy involves a slow cooker (or a blender, as you shall see in a future post based on tonight’s dinner). Last night, I decided to have my polish burritos for breakfast today. I have a bunch of kielbasa defrosted and love… Continue reading Easy Caramelized Onions
Oh, how often I have thought of these crackers! #Facebook memories wins again. I was so overjoyed to see this post from three years ago this morning that I must share it with you. Plus, then I will be able to find the recipe again. Yay! The aforementioned PALEO CRACKER recipe: Garlic Crackers (Basics, Paleo,… Continue reading Paleo Cracker and Chicken Liver Pâté
My honey grows okra in the backyard, which I adore. It means, however, that we are bringing in five or so pods per day or two once the season begins. For his birthday, I made a gumbo which I do not document for posterity, but may repeat in the future. Bhibdi Masala is definitely in… Continue reading Oven-Fried Okra is B.S. Deep Fry it!
I love Pierogies. Like seriously. You can stuff them with many delectable fillings, but my favorite is cheddar and potato. I don’t bother putting onion inside them because I am going to top them with sautéed onions and sour cream. Both are traditional toppings and I cannot choose between them, so I don’t choose. Problem… Continue reading Paleo or Quick Pierogies
I noticed the other day that I am low on ketchup but kept putting off buying it until I needed it. My pantry is a bit stuffed and I didn’t want to add anything that would have to sit on the shelf unused. Then Papa Satyr brought in a pound of date-sized Roma tomatoes, ripe… Continue reading Easy Homemade Ketchup

It’s game day at the Wildwood and my best game friend is over for what we call Trains…in this case Australian Rails, which I scored this week at 38% off. My love affair with this game system started at the tender age of seventeen with the first edition of Empire Builder (that didn’t even have… Continue reading The Very Best Deviled Eggs
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
