About a week ago, I received an abundance of beets. By abundance, I mean 10 lbs worth. Perhaps 20 lbs. It was A LOT! So I’ve been finding clever ways to add beets to just about everything I eat. Have a chicken wrap? Top it with roasted beets! Make some cupcakes? Add some [...]
I make my own version of honey mustard dressing because the store-bought variety comes made with soybean oil and high fructose corn syrup. I’ve got beef with both of those ingredients, plus I like to avoid sugar whenever possible. So I make my own with just three ingredients: mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and stevia [or [...]

This recipe is very reminiscent of pork and beans. It’s a little bit sweet, with a creamy texture and hint of BBQ flavor. I utilized the good ole Southern variety of Vigna unguiculata: Pink-eyed Purple-Hulled Peas. This variety of field peas has a much milder taste than black-eyed peas. Then, instead of sweetening the peas with a more [...]
If I had a nickle for every time I started a recipe with “roasted eggplant…” I’d be… wealthy enough to afford more eggplant. Point is, I love the stuff. It’s still winter squash season, and I have NOT given up on my second love; however, when a wonderfully kind gentleman brings you a 5 lb [...]
