Slow Food in a Fast World
Those who know me know that I use my crockpot a lot. In fact, we have two of them going sometimes. I especially like them when we are busy on weekends and want a hot, delicious meal with meat and vegetables and a salad on the side. Today I have beef shanks with lots marrow […]
Fat Fruit – Avocado! Yes, it is a Fruit – not a Vegetable!
This is the amount of avocadoes that Jack and I eat each week, approximately 2 day. I mix half of one into my green smoothie, with spinach, kale, cucumber, spirulina, and pea shoots (tender pea sprouts). We have been doing a keto-Paleo type of food plan wherein we have upped our fat intake by quite […]
Alternate Meats for Savory Meals
For those who know us, we do tend to enjoy some different choices for meats. Today’s Sunday supper we are having slow cooker duck necks with cherry chipotle glaze and a bit of coffee rub. By the time this is done, the meat will be falling off the neck bones so we will have something […]

Spice. . .is the Variety of Life!
I always like to share any unusual finds that I come across when shopping, especially when it comes to food or fitness. Those who know me, know that I love Middle Eastern food and Indian food. To me the blend of spices these countries use in their cooking smells like perfume. I came across these […]
See (Sea) Food Chowder!
Another busy day in our household so out came the crockpot again! Got two busy renovation guys to feed, so I found some halibut and large shrimp in the freezer and bought a carrot, an onion, 3 celery ribs and two stalks of lemongrass, plus a dozen oysters to make a large crock of Seafood […]
