OK, I get it. You’re just not digging my suggestion to go for the naked (as in crust-less) apple, pumpkin or pecan pie? Feeling like without the pastry it’s just not the same. This may be a time for the ‘substitute flours’, like almond or coconut, for example. Once in a while, when something […]
Read More ›Perhaps you’re hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year. Or maybe you’ve done the side dishes before, but someone else prepped the bird. If you’re scared of botching the Pièce de résistance this Thursday, fear not! You have time on your side. Why not procure a smaller bird and cook it tonight to test your […]
Read More ›Apple pie is one of the easiest things to re-create, Paleo style. Yes, there are those who absolutely love the crust, but if you really think about it, the crust doesn’t do much to bring out the flavors of the apples or the spices that are such an important part of the dished that grace […]
Read More ›Oh, dear. There’s always that one dish that our dear old auntie had to bring to the Thanksgiving table: the sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows. Can it be saved?
