We first had home made roasted nuts courtesy of our friend Amy – so good we had to try them ourselves. A few words about spices – spices are Real Food ® and therefore have a shelf life – if you use cinnamon and nutmeg from those bottles leftover from the 20th Century, the results [...]

Our friend Amy introduced us to this – simple and amazing. Dribble or dip.
Original link. My version: 2 medium-small sweet potatoes 1 lb uncured bacon – OPTIONAL 2 Tbsp organic coconut oil Preheat oven to 350F. Clean the sweet potatoes, remove any uglies (I like them unpeeled) then cut them lengthwise into quarters. Then cut into bites that your 1/2 bacon slices will wrap around. Melt butter over [...]
Found this recipe, which looked promising, but I modified it and used yogurt instead of cottage cheese (way too salty for me). They’re pretty tasty, but won’t remind you of fluffy pancakes – more like crepes. With all the protein and little or no fat, they like to stick, so you’ll need some fat in [...]
One afternoon, while waiting to head over to our friends’ house for bar-b-q and beer, this occurred to me as possibly a great thing to bring. After all, bar-b-q and beer pretty much demand bacon to complete the alliterative hat trick. I’ve now made this three times, so I consider it a keeper! I had [...]

Can’t wait to try these out… 1 can black beans ( rinsed + smashed ) 3 eggs 3 TBS veg oil 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 pinch salt 1 tsp vanilla (I used 2 tsp almond extract) 1 tsp instant coffee (I left this out) 3/4 sugar ( or substitute honey ) 1 cup semisweet [...]
A good way to improve on the blandness of chicken breasts, IMO. Spiced with a combination of some of my favorite flavors. The measurements are approximate; I tend to use my palm to measure spices. Also, if you buy commercial curry mixes you’ll find they vary widely, so a taste test is the best way [...]
Recipe from here. Take a look and be sure to read the comments for some great ideas. My modified version: The night before cream in a large bowl: 1 1/2 cup of plain whole yogurt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened Mix in: 3 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour (I’ve substituted 1 C of [...]
