I have received my first request! A dear friend bought a bunch of collard greens and sent me a Facebook message looking for a quick recipe. Little did she know this would be a sore subject. A quick search of the internet will show you that people are preparing quick collard greens. Anyone who eats… Continue reading Collard Greens, Quick or Proper
Motherhood is a busy, occupying, draining, insanely rewarding activity. My attempt to get a post out in the morning was totally thwarted by the fact that I did not finish writing the post until after midnight and sleepily scheduled it to launch on the 13th instead of the 12th. Twelve hours later I realized it… Continue reading Paleo Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun
In a recent post, I waxed poetic on how obsessive I can be about saving leftovers, even in minute amounts. Today’s meal is a perfect example of it. Papa Satyr slept late, not feeling his best, and #Babysatyr and I were up very early. I had fed the animals, made coffee, had an instant breakfast, unloaded, loaded,… Continue reading Baked Eggs in Tomatoes with Polenta and Vegetables
I invented a new biscuit recipe a while back because most paleo biscuits are lame, either being grainy for the almond flour or tasting too strongly of coconut (though this is good for pastries). That weekend I specifically needed them to be nut-free, so I had to come up with another solution. They looked and smelled delicious,… Continue reading Paleo Nut-free Biscuits
Yesterday (Saturday) I asked Papa Satyr if he would like breakfast, which he usually only eats on Sundays, but due to my bread post the other day, he said, “Yes, if your making eggie in a basket’.” As a matter of fact I was, also inspired by my bread post. Homemade bread is perfect for it… Continue reading Eggie in a Basket
Even I, as a stay at home, work from home, new mamma, do not always have time for my preferred level of home cooking. Sometimes #Babysatyr takes up all of my time with snuggles and diapers. Sometimes the Office needs me to perform urgent (read: time sensitive) tasks. For such occasions it is especially… Continue reading Weeknight Cooking: Vegetable Lo Mein with Tofu
Since I have convinced you to make your own cheese AND to save the whey remaining, here is one way to use the whey… bread! Something odd about me the I apparently get from my mother is that I hate to feel dough stick to my fingers, so I am not a big bread baker.… Continue reading Use It Before You Lose It: Bread Machine Whey Bread
I mentioned in my previous post that I retain extra béarnaise sauce to serve with eggs or steaks the day after I initially serve it. I am big on leftovers. Why make two steaks when I can make extra and reuse them some other way? When serving steaks I will often serve a nice baked… Continue reading Baked Potatoes and Home Fries
For Ostara/Easter every year Papa Satyr and I watch the South Park episode, “Fantastic Easter Special” and dye eggs. This year, when I sought out decorating kits, Kroger did not have the Classic Paas set of my childhood, but an unknown to me set by Dudley. It said it came with dye tablets, a wax… Continue reading Scotch Eggs with Mustard Béarnaise Sauce
Sometimes, despite your best intentions, you do not get to an item before it starts to turn. This happened to me today. I make my own ricotta cheese, which must be eaten within the week, and I decided to use it for breakfast this morning, deciding I would make stuffed crepes. The ricotta was fine, but… Continue reading Stuffed Crepes with Caramelized Apples
