The chill of winter is almost out of the air here... although I'm told that there is a cold snap coming back. Pot roast is one of my favorite dishes.

Rainy Day Pancakes

No-mato Spaghetti Sauce
Summer vacation means extra time to try cooking new dishes. This week's experiment was no-mato sauce for spaghetti squash spaghetti. I love spaghetti, but tomatoes are not on the friend list. Just for good measure, I wanted to leave out garlic and onions, because they're a little suspect at the moment. I can't say much… Continue reading No-mato Spaghetti Sauce
Curry-less Curry Sauce
This recipe was an attempt to make an AIP-friendly sauce for hot pot. So far, I've used this sauce to cook bok choy, nappa cabbage, shrimp, lamb, and sweet potatoes.
