    Easy paleo recipes

    I think everyone should eat and drink what they want, and call it what they want. It's perfectly acceptable to examine ones diet and make changes. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is follow parameters laid out by others. It is also perfectly acceptable to follow no parameters or define...

    Easy paleo recipes

    I have been full paleo and also primal (includes dairy). Right now I'm staying away from pasta, but am eating bread. More of a whole foods/homemade approach. Paleo staples: safflower oil, coconut oil, spinach, sweet potatoes, hamburger, eggs. Safflower oil has a higher cook temp and is better...

    Creamy Chicken Breasts & Crisped Potatoes

    Full fat plain yogurt with shredded farmers cheese (or other mild white cheese) mixed in. Mix to taste with maybe a little salt. You could maybe use low fat yogurt, I am not sure fat free yogurt would work with the water separation. Looks wonderful! Eat anything you want, but make it...

    Fridge Clean Out - Food Rescue

    Please share! A place to post your leftover-use-it-before-it-goes-bad creations. I admit I bought the bok choy today, but that always needs rescuing eventually because they are so big. And of course the herbs are to help. :ahem: Mushrooms Sweet potato Fennel Onion Bok choy Celery Micro...

    Kombucha

    Sorry to hear that K--! From everything I've read, not all the bacteria picked up by komboucha is good. Which makes sense. When I broke out, it was a fresh batch. It didn't seem different than any other - which is one reason I quit making it. I prefer to be able to tell when food/drink has...

    Kombucha

    Just be careful, I hear komboucha is also hunted by vegans. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Smart Slow Cooker

    It almost negates needing a slow cooker. I do need one for stock though. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Kombucha

    I made it for a few months. I didn't see any health benefits and taking care of it is the same as having a sourdough starter. We cook sourdough and I think that's a big differentiator from komboucha. I did quit making it because I had a skin breakout that couldn't be attributed to anything...

    Smart Slow Cooker

    Thanks - I have been considering a pressure cooker. Can you do stock in them? Can you set them for an all-day slow and low dish? I've had a dumb slow cooker for about 20 years but it died yesterday. I mostly used it for stock. But sometimes other things. I thought I'd upgrade. I do not have...

    Smart Slow Cooker

    I'm looking at buying a smart slow cooker - does anyone have one? Pros and cons? When I am at work, I am typically gone 10-12 hours. My hope is to start something on low for 4 hours, set it to warm for a few hours and then back to low to finish cooking for when I get home. I don't *think*...

    Sweet Potatoes, New Info to Me

    It happened again...

    Well here is the experiment today. I'm open to the idea convection isn't conducive to baking. But when I googled I found the issue to be with items that can get messy. Which isn't the problem I'm having. Wonder if maybe items were too close to the front of the oven. Baked (these were...

    Good luck! I am interested to find out how this works for you. I have one old cast iron pan that I need to do some work on. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    It happened again...

    Ironically, at the front of the oven. Which makes no sense to me. I will try tomorrow with convection shut off to see if that has anything to do with it. I am wondering if something is broken. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    It happened again...

    My oven did this with a pizza a while back and we thought maybe the pizza had partially thawed. But this is sourdough. This is on the convection setting. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm going to do some googling. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Controlling Cherry Tomato Plant Size

    I container garden and have had tomatoes in pots for years. I have never had them get that big. I have assumed the container (and container size) stunts them a bit. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Leftover Cheese?

    There can't be such a thing! While in WI, I impulse-bought 1.5 lb package of "veggie" Jack cheese. In my defense, I purchased the smallest package, and stimulated the local economy. It's okay, it's not bad. But for snacking I prefer something a little stronger. Thought I might try cheese...

    Favorite hot-weather dinners ~ 2016 edition

    I've been adding a lot of micro greens to my salads. My favorite is sunflower. Otherwise I have tried kale, broccoli, lettuce. Pretty easy to do on the deck and lots of flavor. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Bread Flour

    Ah, yes. I do not know how to make bread with a machine as I do not have one. Another use for bread flour is dumplings in soup! Or crust for pot pie. I made that today. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Bread Flour

    You are likely killing the yeast by accident. Take the temperature of your water, add flour gradually, don't add too much salt and keep it simple. There is a Julia Child episode on making French bread. You can google it. I watched that and found it helpful. Eat anything you want, but make...
