Is "barbecue" a verb or a noun or both or what? I have said, "We're going to barbecue tonight." But not, "I'd love some good barbecue tonight." Although since my daughter started to go to school in Texas, I'm starting to get used to the barbecue lingo. And I do love me some barbecue! My first ...
How to Make Bone Broth
My readers and my students are very in the know when it comes to food trends, especially the healthy ones. So I’m sure you have all heard about bone broth and how it's taking over the world. It's the newest thing! It's revolutionary! So funny. Bone broth is no trend, but in fact something that ...
Bieler’s Broth: a Healing, Restorative Soup Recipe
It’s good to be home. I had the loveliest holiday break, but it’s good to be home. Even though I knew I was coming back to two weeks worth of mail to sift through, groceries to buy, meals to plan, piles of laundry to wash, it’s all good. As I’ve mentioned several times, I am not much on detox ...
How to Poach Chicken
There are a few basic techniques I think are worth knowing how to do, such as scrambling eggs, cooking rice, and making a versatile salad dressing among other things. In that category, I also include poaching chicken (if you eat chicken obviously.) I thought this was a good time to do a refresher ...
DIY Vanilla Extract and a Gifting Idea
Is it too early to start thinking about the Christmas holidays. Absolutely. Do I do any of my holiday gift buying before Labor Day? Under no circumstances. I might have my meal plan figured out for the week, but I'm the mom on Halloween morning looking for electrical tape to try and make a Bat ...
Whipped Coconut Cream Recipe
This has not turned into a dessert blog, I promise. I haven't really kept track of what I was posting here and I just realized I have been a little out of balance lately. I promise to post a few Mexican recipes next week in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo. But since I posted a picture of this ...
Unsweetened Slow Cooker Applesauce Recipe (oven version, too)
I don't know about you, but we love having both cranberry sauce and applesauce on Thanksgiving and always the homemade kind. It's my tradition every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving to make a huge pot of both and my house smells amazing. When my kids see the huge pile of apple peels on the ...
how to make slow roasted tomatoes
Someone leaked to Mr. Picky that in one of my recent posts I was guessing that he wouldn’t be showering regularly at camp. It wasn’t a judgment on my part, just an observation from past history. However, it seems as though Mr. Picky interpreted that as a challenge. What you might not know about ...
blueberry sauce recipe (refined sugar-free)
I know what you're thinking. "We waited five whole days for a new recipe and it's blueberry sauce? That's the best she could come up with?" You know what, friends? I have been busy! Daughter #1 is still far, far away playing college student and Mr. Picky is at sleep away camp for two weeks. I ...
Supersmooth, Light-as-Air Hummus
Why is the best hummus always in restaurants, especially Middle Eastern ones? I think I make a delicious, flavorful hummus that has a great consistency and is better than the ones you find in the supermarket. But, it doesn't compare to the silky, light and creamy hummus that I've had in ...
(a more healthful) chocolate chip cookie recipe
One of my students asked me the other day if I had a good chocolate chip cookie recipe and I instinctively said, "Sure, just check my website." To which she replied, "I did. But all you have on there is your Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe." And then it hit me. I have neither taught in a ...
