As the weather turns colder and we head into flu season, I get a lot of questions about various home prevention concoctions. Most common are questions about elderberries. Syrups, gummies, and various tinctures are all frequent items about which I am queried. While elderberries may be well-known for their immune-boosting properties, unfortunately most effective forms […]
Slow Cooker Beef and Bacon Chili
This is a delicious and fairly easy to assemble dish that is always a family pleaser. Super flavorful without being super spicy, and the bacon adds not only a really nice taste, but also that little bit of bite beanless chili is usually missing. I love making this on days when I have a lot […]
Upside Down Pumpkin Pie (aka, Pumpkin Crunch Bars)
It’s October, and in most of the Northern Hemisphere (Florida excluded) that means it’s Fall. Winds are blowing, leaves are falling, temps are dropping, and folks are starting to get into the changing of the seasons. Which means mums and pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins. The yearly pumpkin craze is a huge phenomenon, so […]
Slow Cooker Fauxtato Stroganoff Chowder
This is quite the treat! It’s warm and comforting, and the radishes stand in quite well for potato in this classically carby dish. If you prefer, you may use daikon radishes here, but I went with plain old red radish and just peeled them well. Slow Cooker Fauxtato Stroganoff was a hit with my family, […]
Ballistic Bites
This is a great and easy little snack to keep on hand for the kids. My kids love the heck out of chocolate, so instead of giving them the sugary stuff, I make Ballistic Bites. I also like making these around the holidays (coming sooner than I’m ready for!) as a quick dessert or finger-food contribution […]
Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth
Bone broth is wonderfully tasty and nourishing, and super easy to make in the crockpot. It’s borderline hands-off since you basically just dump the ingredients into your pot, put the lid on, and simmer on low for a couple of days. The small amount of effort you put into this pays off in flavor and […]
No Nightshade Carne Picada
Carne Picada is basically minced steak. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, but this week I’ve come up with a nice marinade that is entirely nightshade free (for my nightshade avoiding peeps). It relies on lime juice, coconut aminos, and some other spices to yield its zippy flavor, and is really great […]
Bacony Carnivore Womelettes
I’m gonna say something that might blow your mind: I don’t like “chaffles.” Every time I’ve made them they were incredibly underwhelming, especially considering how wildly popular they’ve become. While I was expecting this awesome bread-like replacement, what I got was a crispy cheese omelette that has waffle divots on its surface. Meh. Recently, I’ve started […]
Gooey Butter Cake
I was introduced to the wonder that is Gooey Butter Cake by my Aunt Lissa. Aunt Lissa and Aunt Robin are probably the two best bakers in my family and while Robin’s chocolate chip cookies are superior, Lissa brings the yum with the gooey butter cake. Gooey Butter Cake originated in St. Louis, Missouri. A […]
Garlic and Herb Compound Butter
I love this butter. It’s so quick and easy to make, and makes an awesome condiment for a whole pile of different foods. I’ve had it on bunless burgers, steak, eggs, and roast beef. My daughter loves it so much, she will literally eat it with a spoon. It’s fragrant and flavorful and wonderful in […]
Smoky Bacon Burgers with Sherry Caramelized Onions
Y’all. No joke, this is the best burger I’ve ever had, and it was insanely easy to make. It’s super crispy on the outside, while staying tender and moist inside. The secret? Bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. And when you top this bad boy with some slowly caramelized onions….. mouth heaven. (Pictured garnished with […]
Simple Salmon
I am not a big fan-o-fish, but my son is. He’s said on multiple occasions that he likes seafood much better than land food, and so I do what I can to accommodate his fishy tastes while making it edible for myself. Luckily, the rest of my family loves all manner of seafood, too, so […]
