After yet another long term plateau that led me to reevaluate my eating, I decided to make a three-pronged attack: Adjust portion size – I was eating too much and knew it. I have baggage from a feast or famine approach to food when I was growing up, and I can find myself getting competitive… Continue reading The Life Changing Chaffle
My regular readers can probably guess that this involves a slow cooker. Everything easy involves a slow cooker (or a blender, as you shall see in a future post based on tonight’s dinner). Last night, I decided to have my polish burritos for breakfast today. I have a bunch of kielbasa defrosted and love… Continue reading Easy Caramelized Onions
Oh, how often I have thought of these crackers! #Facebook memories wins again. I was so overjoyed to see this post from three years ago this morning that I must share it with you. Plus, then I will be able to find the recipe again. Yay! The aforementioned PALEO CRACKER recipe: Garlic Crackers (Basics, Paleo,… Continue reading Paleo Cracker and Chicken Liver Pâté
Anyone who knows me knows I am not much of a drinker. I think that people have a hard time controlling themselves when they drink and easily become a-holes and I do not want to be that person. That said, I love a cocktail and I might have one while out before switching to a… Continue reading The Cocktails of Inspiration
I noticed the other day that I am low on ketchup but kept putting off buying it until I needed it. My pantry is a bit stuffed and I didn’t want to add anything that would have to sit on the shelf unused. Then Papa Satyr brought in a pound of date-sized Roma tomatoes, ripe… Continue reading Easy Homemade Ketchup
It’s game day at the Wildwood and my best game friend is over for what we call Trains…in this case Australian Rails, which I scored this week at 38% off. My love affair with this game system started at the tender age of seventeen with the first edition of Empire Builder (that didn’t even have… Continue reading The Very Best Deviled Eggs
Some days are easier than others. You may have started the day thinking you would grill chicken to end up grazing popcorn and macaroni and cheese. That is how Sunday went. Admittedly, it was oil popped popcorn with no adds chemicals and my creamy homemade gluten-free macaroni and cheese with bacon add, but still not… Continue reading Best Barbecue Chicken in the Slow Cooker
Tofu can be a pain. If you want a scramble it is easy enough, but if you want cubes in your soups or squares in your stir fry, it needs to stay in one piece (of the size and shape chosen). I had friends coming for dinner on a work day to enjoy the company… Continue reading Tofu Three Ways
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
