Mayonnaise is one of those things that in days gone by was only made at home. No, Hellmans did not invent it. It is a simple emulsification of egg and oil, with some basic seasoning. Since store bought mayo is made with canola oil and sugar, if you are trying to eat a primal diet…
Paleo Broccoli Salad
My mother in law was a good cook. She didn’t cook a lot of fancy shmancy stuff but her food was always tasty and my kids grew up, like many, with plenty of memories of favourites served up by the Gramma Lady. One of the Gramma Lady’s favourite salads to bring to my mostly potluck…
A Spring Surprise
Our unusually early warm spring weather has lulled me into getting out from behind my computer and into my garden. Living on an acreage means there is always so much to do to prepare for the gardening season. So far, we are ahead! Yay! I don’t usually clean up my garden, with a few exceptions,…
Making Your Stainless Stickless
I am admittedly a bit of a tool snob. Though I despise useless gadgets I do love to have quality tools that make a job easier. Over the years I’ve discovered, as you probably have, that sometimes great names make great products and sometimes smaller lesser known companies do just as well or better. When Steve…
Korean Short Ribs
While in Kauai on a family vacation in March, my brother insisted that we simply had to stop to pick up some cook-at-home korean short ribs. On a previous trip to the island he had found a little spot in Eleele that sold them and had stopped in on a whim. Since the woman running the…
Tigernut Milk
I’m still searching for the perfect cream for my coffee. Currently I am most happy with a combination of my homemade almond milk and a splash of coconut milk for a bit of thickness. However, I’m always open to new ideas and a while back I had seen a post by Jenny McGruther over at…
Zucchini Pasta and Meatballs
In October of last year I did a whole foods cleanse offered up by the babes at Simple Green Smoothies. One of the recipes included in the cleanse was a zucchini pasta. At the time, I passed. It was winter and the idea of veggie pasta when I was craving hearty warm fare just didn’t…
A New Frying Pan
On a round-about search for a patio furniture place the other day, my friend Karen and I ended up near Crown Restaurant Equipment. I’ve had a few things on my list for quite a while and since we were close I pulled in. I found a few squeeze bottles for homemade mayonnaise or barbecue sauce as well…
Spring garden fever
I spent the day with my good friend Karen yesterday. It was my intention to take her for lunch but as usual we got a bit side-tracked and ended up in a string of stores looking for the kind of random things that I am usually looking for. We started at a greenhouse. I was…
Almost Paleo Paella
Someday I’d like to eat my way through Spain. Authentic paella would definitely be on my list of must try foods as many of the paellas that I’ve ordered in restaurants have been fairly, well – meh. Although it isn’t particularly authentic, my homemade Paella is one of Steve’s favourite dishes. That’s because it is…
