Garden Patch Bison and Elk Burgers

My earphones are alive! I have a new found respect for iPod earphones. I remembered a coworker suggesting that I put my iPhone in rice when I dropped it in my water bottle [don’t ask… I have a thing with electronics.]. So, when my iPod earphones were put through the wash on Saturday night, I…

Strawberry Almond Birds Nest Cookies

I went down memory lane making these cookies yesterday. I grew up in a fairly healthy household. We didn’t have a lot of money, but my mom tried the best she could to feed us the healthiest and highest quality ingredients. My dad was another story. He grew up with the notion – food is…

Crispy Coated Apple Fries

I am big on homemade fries with coconut oil. There was a period in my life, not so long ago, where all I’d eat for dinner were fries. Don’t get me wrong, potatoes are an amazing vegetable. They’re high in vitamin C, fiber, their easy on the digestive system, and high in vitamin b6 [great…

Irresistible Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Irresistible Chocolate Truffle Cookies

I was going to begin today’s post by saying “I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day”, but I’d be lying. Although I say that I don’t celebrate, or care, year after year I find myself running to a craft store on February 13th getting supplies for a homemade present for Kevin. I just…
