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.

Butternut Squash, Sausage and Pomegranate Stuffing (Grain Free, Paleo, Gluten Free)

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.
