It apparently started as a craze in South Korea, and now is tearing its way through the U.S –- some have dubbed it the “quarantine coffee,” though it’s most often known by the name “Dalgona coffee.” Of course, I had to try it out. What alchemy is this! You put together some hot water, instant…
The quarantine life inspires creativity in the kitchen and the trend for pancake charcuterie boards is one of the finest examples I’ve seen. Also — one of the more delicious ideas out there. It’s a simple concept: load a board up with pancakes, and then put toppings and sides around it and allow everyone to…

If you undercook it, food poisoning is a possibility, but if you overcook it, the breasts can be dry and unappetizing.

We recently sat down to a flavorful dinner, every dish well seasoned with fascinating spice combinations. Our meal was relatively simple, full of “whole food” ingredients, and fun. Why so fun? Our meals were inspired by our history studies on Ancient Rome. While our scenery has changed from the lush greens of the northwest to…
These gently sweet waffles are not only grain and dairy free, but they are delicious! Tigernuts have been eaten for thousands of years and are not a nut, but actually a small tuber. They are a good source of prebiotic fiber and are also a grain-free carbohydrate. I created this recipe for a couple of…
