More than just cauliflower, this sweetly spicy and nutty creation of goodness involves unsweetened chocolate, cinnamon, chili powder, coconut oil – and beyond the best “Cs” in the food world – delicata squash. It is oh, so delicious, really. Really. With the intention of creating something a bit unique, the dusting of the cocoa and…

Yes, I love kabocha squash. I love, love, LOVE it! It’s one of the best things on earth (well, food things, I suppose). Guacamole is pretty great too. The two together…really, really great! Then, turning the whole concoction into a cup, a perfectly hand-sized bowl, a TACO, if you will~JACKPOT! Traditional tacos can be drippy,…

Surrounding yourself with positive people, positive experiences, real food, and real people makes for a great day – a f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s. day, in fact. A brisk morning walk.

It’s been awhile since I’ve undertaken a culinary challenge. I decided that it was time once again. I have never been a fan of bleu cheese.

That mistake was not made a second time. Pumpkin and bacon are certainly lovely flavors to combine…remember Pumpkin Maple Bacon Granola from Cavegirl Confections? Yum! This…

I also very much enjoy robust flavors, full of intention and dialogue with each forkful. Savor the surprise of Slow Cooker Middle Eastern Beef. Slow…

As a teenager, one of my very favorite lunches at home consisted of grilled Japanese eggplant, radicchio, and gruyere cheese melted over a toasted baguette. Yes, this is a bit unusual for a teenager to prepare at home, I am aware, but out of the ordinary and unusual are descriptions that I most certainly do…

This unique and utterly divine creation was somewhat of a surprise. I set into my culinary creativity with the full intent of dispatching a roasted carrot soup recipe using a hint of cumin. The idea sounded warming and delicious. Cumin reminds me of the southwest in many ways, as the spice is commonly used in…

Need I say more? Honestly, the title says it all. We know I’ve grown rather fond of crispy, crunchy pastured bacon. I prefer the unsweetened variety – yes, it’s possible, but hard to find. When out of reach, though, I’ll go for the honey sweetened variety of pastured bacon. And, when paired with the savory…
