Absolutely! Granted, you're not going to be using corn-syrup laden catsup or dousing your filet in steak sauce with MSG (the mere thought of ruining that lovely cut of grass-fed beef is beyond me…)but that doesn't mean you need to throw out the idea of all types of seasonings, dressings and even jus! The easiest […]

I do pride myself in doing a great job in allocating exactly how much of any given food I need when I'm doing my grocery shopping.  I time it such that when it's time to do the shopping the following week, I'm literally down to nearly nothing, and nothing goes to waste. Sometimes, however, I […]

As much as I love my raw kale, if it's a colder day outside, or you're serving something that simply doesn't suit that dish, here's another great option! Saute garlic in olive oil in a dutch oven over medium. Add some diced plum tomatoes. Add some washed, spun-dry kale that you've torn manually. Stir, add […]

So easy, fresh and light!   -Wash and spin dry Butter or Bibb Lettuce.  Add some chopped tarragon, chervil, chives and parsley.  Toss together in large bowl. -Poach your eggs by boiling at least 4" of water in a pot. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and swirl the water.  Break an egg into a […]

Just back from the vet where both of our 12 year old Weims, who are also endurance athletes (like mother, like daughter, and like father like son- we have one boy and one girl), checked out with flying colors. Lean, healthy body weight, no signs of arthritis and a nice, low resting heart rate.  Pretty […]
