Tomato Candy!
For my birthday I finally bought myself something I’d been kicking around for several years but couldn’t bring myself to lay out the cash. A dehydrator. More on that to come in another post, but the giant metal monstrosity arrived and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I looked around my kitchen like aContinue reading “Tomato Candy!”

World-Class Real Food Sweets
In my transition to eating real food I’ve given up a lot of unhealthy, processed foods. Many of these are sweets. Oh, those cookies and frozen confections that once held me captive…no longer. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more! Honestly, since I’ve been feeding myself as God intended for us to eat, I no longer crave orContinue reading “World-Class Real Food Sweets”

Although it almost still feels like summer in Georgia…kind of annoying as I’m ready to start wearing sweaters! I was actuallyContinue reading “24 Pounds of Tomatoes”

Ever since I learned how to make guacamole, it has been a staple in our house. If I’m making anything Mexican related, there will be guacamole. And why not? It’s so easy and freaking delicious.

Pickle Review and Food Freak Status
My pickle frenzy resulted in a large variety of pickled items in my fridge. They are kind of taking over. So far I’ve pickled asparagus, butternut squash and pumpkin, shrimp, beets, mushrooms, broccoli, apples and onions. Yes, I pickled shrimp. The recipe calls for white peppercorns but I didn’t have any so I used black…IContinue reading “Pickle Review and Food Freak Status”
The Spice is Right
Apparently I’ve been on a spicy roll lately. I was quietly perusing the farmer’s market and came across these fantastic looking poblanos. I had to have some. Suddenly all my weekend cooking plans were completely rearranged, all due to some chiles. Poblanos just beg to be stuffed, and these ones were no different. Earlier thisContinue reading “The Spice is Right”
