This was the first time I made meatballs. They are not what people would consider traditional meatballs. As an Italian American who grew up eating food cooked by my Italian father, I also happen to know that meatballs and spaghetti is an American phenomena, not Italian. These turned out very well and I think it's... Continue Reading →
I've been eating lots of organ meats from grass-fed animals to get my B vitamins. I've never been a fan of beef liver but I'm finally getting liver right so that I actually enjoy it when I eat it. Here is a recipe.
We don't eat dessert often. When I do make dessert it's something like this. These are really delicious as well as beautiful and wholesome too. The red wine makes for a delightfully striking look, but you can use brandy instead, too. I actually prefer the flavor with brandy, but you can't beat this red color and honestly it's pretty close in terms of yumminess too. Of note, all the alcohol is cooked out of this so there is no alcohol left in it by the time the dish is served.
I got the below recipe, which I've now modified a bit, from a great friend in an email. She knows me well...that email made my day!
Easy, quick and delicious! People seem to love or hate brussels sprouts, though this recipe may change the minds of even those who never liked them before.
Another #foodie Friday post. So to mark the very beginning of fall I've made pumpkin soup. It was not premeditated I just felt like making pumpkin soup. I make lots of squash soups all year long actually. I wish I had taken a picture of the cute little squash before I gutted and roasted it,... Continue Reading →
This is a very easy and tasty salad. I used two large beets, but as you can see it's still a relatively small salad. Good for two to four servings depending on size. I don't generally feel inclined to pig out on beets even though I love them. I cut off the tops and the... Continue Reading →
Well I know a lot of people don't like liver pâté , but if you like it as much as I do you'll find this very inexpensive version of the delicacy a delight. I've added organ meats to my diet that I might get the dense nutrition they afford while I work on healing my body through diet. Organ meats tend to be far less expensive than ordinary cuts of meat and for people on a budget they allow for high quality organice, grass-fed and pastured meats to be on the menu more frequently. Foods with dense nutritional value are very important for getting healthy if one is ill.
Fall has arrived on this hemisphere... I found the recipe that inspired this dish from Dr. Weil . I pretty much did exactly what he suggested but I only used some of the veggies he suggested. I didn’t include potatoes as I don't eat them. I also roasted the vegetables in a bit of coconut... Continue Reading →
This recipe is a nice alternative for sweet potatoes which are often served in very heavy fashion with lots of butter and sugar, etc. If you like sweet potatoes as much as I do then tasting their natural flavor in their simplicity becomes key. I no longer eat grains. Sweet potatoes and green plantains are... Continue Reading →
