Crazy and Fun Kitchen Experimenting and Foraging
It all started with my new book that arrived in the mail- Pascal Bauder’s new book, The New Wildcrafted Cuisine, which I received as a review copy (the review will be coming soon, this post is just a little taste), and I’ve been devouring. The book makes you see the foods in the wild and […]
What To Do With A Bunch Of Celery
I got a huge amount of celery the other day. I also had a huge amount of carrots, but more celery than anything else. Additionally, I had a moderate amount of tomatoes and a small amount of onions, and that was pretty much it in terms of vegetables. I wanted to make a nice meal […]
Healthy Dessert and Treat Recipe Roundup- Sweetened By Fruit Only- Most Paleo and Vegan!
I love desserts. In fact, they’re some of my favorite types of foods, which is a big part of why I have an issue with the concept of SWYPO- the banning of healthy recreations of junky foods. By having a large variety of healthy dessert recipes to choose from, I am not tempted by unhealthy desserts, […]
Carrot Cornbread Muffins Recipe- Protein Heavy, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free
I’ve taken my son, Ike, off dairy recently. I did it in the past because I thought I noticed a behavioral difference, but then I wasn’t sure anymore, and it was a lot of work, so I let him eat dairy again. But in the past month things were getting quite challenging with him, constant […]
Quinoa Mushroom and Greens Risotto Recipe- Vegan
I’m having vegan guests over for a meal and I wanted to serve them something tasty and fancier, and I was trying to figure out delicious dishes to make, so decided to whip up some quinoa risotto (among other things).

Homemade Beef Pepperoni Style Summer Sausage Recipe- Paleo, Nitrate Free

I’d love to be able to make my own healthy sausage- (all the bought sausage locally contains msg as well as other ingredients I’d like to avoid), and not breakfast sausage, […]
Pasta Con Le Sarde Recipe- Sicilian Pasta with Sardines and Wild Fennel- Paleo and Cheapskate Versions
In many ways I like to think I’m a creative cook, but there are some flavors that I would never dream of pairing together- I don’t come up with creative flavor combinations, and am often afraid of experimenting with new flavor combinations, because what if it comes out bad. However, I like learning about cuisines […]
Homemade Panna Cotta Recipe- Paleo and Allergy Friendly Options, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Vegan Option
Cashew milk panna cotta topped with homemade chocolate sauce drizzle, redbud flowers, and garnished with clementine segments and coconut flakes I mentioned the other day that I bought 2.2 lbs of gelatin in bulk– I never expected I’d put it to use this quickly! My neighbor is coming over for lunch tomorrow, and I wanted to […]
Homemade Salad Dressing Recipe Made With Wild Edibles- Paleo, Vegan
3 types of wild condiments- salad dressing in the middle, pesto and peanut butter dipping sauces on either side. I love making food for other people, so I decided to offer boxes of prepared healthy and delicious foraged foods to people who came to my foraging class today. It was beautiful weather and we learned […]
Foraged Mallow Leaves Stuffed With Wild Greens Recipe- Paleo, Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly, Low Carb
When I was foraging the other day, I came across this patch of gigantic mallow leaves– which seemed perfect for stuffing. I had to leave the house the next day for many hours to teach a foraging class in a far off city, and stuffed mallow leaves seemed like the perfect travel food, and a […]
