If you’re drowning in your own harvest of cucumbers or love a great dill pickle, you need this recipe in your life. Our cucumber plants are producing like crazy this year. We’re slicing and dipping, making Korean cucumber salad, giving them away, and, my favorite, pickling them. I love this recipe because you don’t need […]
When I tell folks about eating Paleo, I usually say, “Focus on what you CAN eat rather on finding substitutes for what you can’t.” But sometimes you just need a solid bread substitute. In the past, we’ve found that Paleo breads were either too dense or were more like dessert breads rather than sandwich breads. […]

We moved to him to a mostly grain-free, Paleo-ish diet a couple years ago for reasons that could be an entirely different post. Let’s suffice it to say that I think this is a generally healthy way to […]
Although I didn’t grow up culturally Korean, I LOVE Asian food. Rice has been one of the really hard things for me to give up and often finds itself in the 20 part of my 80/20 commitment. Cauliflower is one of the things I can successfully hide from PJ (our choosy 11 year old, carb-craver). […]
This is the time of year when I love cooking. The garden has taken a back seat this year because of the coffee shop, but we’re still getting a handful of fresh produce. My favorite thing to do with squash (and even carrots and broccoli) is to make them into veggie fritters. Shred or chop […]

Blended with nonfat dairy; almond, rice or soy milk, or water, [it] can be used as part of a weight-loss strategy of […]
