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...
Eggs Benedict on Polenta Cakes with Pesto Hollandaise ~ Gluten Free
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 I’m pretty sure my favorite breakfast food is eggs benedict. Perfectly poached eggs with velvety hollandaise sauce…doesn’t get much more delicious than that. I had a craving for eggs benedict but it was the...
Grilled Lamb Chops with Tapenade Aioli
My husband really hates anchovies. Actually I think he just loves to hate anchovies because I manage to get a “this is delicious” out of him almost every time I sneak anchovies into a recipe. This recipe is a perfect example of using nutrient-dense ingredients like anchovies, egg yolks and organic lamb to make a...
Smoothies for Nutrient-Dense Living
Here is a recipe for a truly nutrient-dense whole food smoothie. I originally called it a “‘pregnancy” smoothie, but it’s our basic smoothie recipe we use for everyone in the family.

You don’t have to make the broth, but it is what makes this recipe especially nutritious. Why should I eat this? Did you know that lentils are a fantastic source of folate? Folate...

Price Foundation local chapter potluck on Saturday then enjoying a...
Vegetable Quinoa Salad + Bonus Quinoa Chicken Salad Recipe
Healthy, bright, colorful, warm, energizing, delicious. It’s summertime and I’m busy going from the pool to the beach and now to my daughter’s ballet recital… In other words, I don’t have much to say except that this recipe is light and delicious and I recommend that you make it a summer go-to recipe either as...
Sourdough Biscuits
I am loving my explorations in sourdough! If you follow and/or joined my sourdough club you will find everything you need to get started with sourdough. (There was a little pun there…you need purchase a starter to get started. Man, it doesn’t stop.) Once you have a happy, healthy little starter, you can start making delicious sourdough...
