Each week, fabulous recipes grace my in-box and pop up on my computer screen, and I’m sharing my favorites with you. This week, desserts caught my eye. Luscious, sinful desserts, healthy sinless snacks and summery delights… gluten-free and/or flourless. Anything that is wheat-free catches my attention, and there were a few offerings this week. The […]
I’ve experimented with agave here and there, mostly in my snow cones, but not so much in baking. I decided it was time to give it a go, and not panic if the muffins flopped. If they came out terribly, I’m pretty sure my four-year-old would have eaten them anyway. Luckily, they did not. In […]
I’ve written before about how spelt flour can sometimes make baked goods come out a little dry. Yes, there are some recipes it works wonderfully with, like these dark chocolate brownies and sprouted spelt flour pizza dough for the bread machine. So you might think that any corn bread, a dish that can be dry […]
I hate August. The freezer is empty, well except for some zucchini that was missed, and it is still a month until hunting season starts. I am so looking forward to September. I need some fresh grouse. I always have trouble finding something good to eat this time of year. As much as I love […]
There’s more to food than recipes. We’ll approach the answers to growing questions, and new ways of taking on tricks of the food trade, and Boil It Down for you. For the past couple of years, we’ve been using a bamboo cutting board as our main chopping surface in the kitchen. It made a whole […]
I love soup. When made well, it’s probably just about as perfect of a food as you can get. There may be a couple of meals out there that I like more, but nothing that I could eat every day for a week and not either get sick of or feel guilty about eating. This […]
Our CSA Farm has, quite frankly, been pathetic this year. Finally, we got something beside lettuce and scallions this week: lots and lots of the most delicious yellow beans I think I have ever tasted, and more chives than you could ever imagine using, no matter how many scrambled eggs and baked potatoes you can […]
Let me be clear: by “stupid” steakhouse, I pretty much mean every steakhouse… ever. Don’t get me wrong, I love meat, I’m not going vegetarian now or anytime soon. I have no problem going out to a nice restaurant and ordering a big piece of steak. In fact, I love to do it, especially if […]
One of my very first Hold The Meat columns dealt with whether or not we were going to raise my then-six-month-old baby as a vegetarian. While we haven’t yet made a final decision regarding this issue, lately I feel as though my kid has been trying to tell me something. The photo above is an […]
Join Debbie as she raves about whole foods, rants about chemicals and generally celebrates cooking and eating with fresh, local, nutritious foods. And sometimes she might get a little feisty…. Let me just say it loud and clear: I’m in no way, shape or form a vegan. I don’t think it’s healthy or appetizing. But […]
