Brace yourself. This is the best stinkin’ homemade candy you will ever eat. Oh my goodness, where do I begin?! There’s something special that happens to pecans when they are soaked, dried and caramelized. I know…something special happens to anything when it’s caramelized. I’m not a big fan of pecans on their own, but in...
Roasted Butternut Squash with Cinnamon Pecan Crumble
This is a very simple side dish that features the rich, butter texture and flavor of butternut squash without a lot of effort. You don’t even have to peel the thing, which I swear I’ve almost stabbed myself doing on many occasions. The simple cinnamon pecan crumble gives the soft, buttery squash a crunchy companion...

Naturally Sparkling Apple Cider…and How To Lacto-Ferment Any Juice
Lacto-fermenting foods and drinks is so easy it’s ridiculous! The process naturally preserves the food or juice, adds millions of enzymes and living probiotics, reduces the sugar (because the sugar feeds the good bacteria), and adds natural “carbonation” (in the case of juice). It’s kind of a NO BRAINER!

Apple Cranberry Pie…and Tips For Making Any Pie
I am not a good baker…but I can make pie. Some may be intimidated by pie. Some may laugh at the simplicity of it. I don’t believe pie is difficult, but it is also not that easy. It’s really only made of two or three parts- crust, filling, and possibly a topping- but you have...
Perfect Pie Crust
Pie crust truly is an art, and considering that pie is extremely important to my family, I’ve spent most of my holidays in the kitchen learning the secrets of my great-grandfather’s perfect crust. I will tell you right now that one of his big secrets was Crisco (aka hydrogenated vegetable oil), which is something that...
Butternut Squash, Sausage and Pomegranate Stuffing (Grain Free, Paleo, Gluten Free)
Last year I went grain-free for a few months until I realized that I personally needed to include some grains in my diet to stay healthy. Even though I’m a happy grain-eater, it doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy the goodness of grain-free recipes, especially during the holidays when breads, sugar, and other goodies are...

Thinking outside the chicken box: Chicken Livers with Dijonnaise Sauce and Charred Corn
In America, we eat a lot of chicken, and even more corn. But we don’t eat these great foods the way we should. Chicken is often loaded with antibiotics, contaminated with pathogens and downright flavorless. As for corn, don’t get me started… alright, since you’re forcing my hand. The corn produced in the U.S. is mostly consumed...
