Nourishing Bone Broth
Serves: 5
Time: 30 min
Difficulty: 3
“Good broth will resurrect the dead,” says a South American proverb. Said Escoffier: “Indeed, stock is everything in cooking. Without it, nothing can be done.” I took this quote from the Weston Price website. If you’ve never visited the site, you should check it out. There is a wealth of information there. I’ve been making my own stock now for quite some time. The nutritional benefits from making your own stock (and for avoiding the toxic store bought stuff) are HUGE! Some say it can cure colds/increase your immune system, build strong bones, be a digestive aid/gut healer, joint support, […]
Loaded Sweet Potato + dairy free sour cream
Inspired by a photo I saw from The Urban Poser-gah, I LOVE that lady, I decided to give it a whirl and the results were AMAZING! So amazing that Denny wanted to eat it again tonight for dinner! This dinner is pretty darn simple, although you do need to think ahead a bit to prep the sour cream. I thought I read some where about making your own coconut sour cream but I didn’t get to experiment so I ended up with this dairy free sour cream with a cashew base. (Side note- it is also really good dipped with […]
Sauteed Cabbage and Sausage
It was approaching the dinner hour and I had no idea what I was making. If you know my house then you know that is a sign of immediate danger. Hungry kids+hungry hubby+no plan= bad night. So what to do in a hurry? I like to keep some local sausage handy in the freezer for these times. It’s fast and easy and always delicious. So as luck would have it we had some old soul beef brats in the freezer. I thawed them out and cooked them at 375 for about 30 minutes. While they where baking I prepared the […]

I used to make this recipe with Buffalo meat but then we lost our source for buffalo 🙁 I have made it with beef as well but it always seemed a bit more exciting with the buffalo. AND THEN my sweet father in law who always blesses us with delicious wild game and fish brought us some ground elk. I used this for the chili and now I know I’m officially spoiled, it was soooooooo…(breath)…soooooooooo….GOOD! Hope you guys enjoy it as well! Elk Chili 1 tbsp coconut oil 1/2 C chopped onions 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 C chopped […]
