Coconut Butter

Nature just blows my mind. Think about it for a minute. A plant, or tree, with only sunlight, water, and soil, produces everything any human has ever eaten. From fish tacos on fresh corn masa tortillas with mahi-mahi, pico de gallo, and avocado, to potato gnocchi in red sauce with fresh basil. It all originally

Gettin all nerdy with the waffles

Its time to get weird folks. Who doesn’t love waffles on a Saturday morning? Pancake files you’ll have to wait it out until I turn up the heat on old Mr. Flap Jack another day. I can remember as a kid, a mysterious mason jar sitting in the back of our refrigerator incubating my Dad’s

Haricot Verts… That’s fancy for Green Beans

Here is another recipe greatly influenced by my lovely wife. I’m sure I am not the only one who spent their childhood eating canned green beans. Salty, mushy, and army green in color. Think M.A.S.H (damn that show was funny). The green beans that find their way on our plates today, however, are a far

Fried Chicken…. Yes, I said fried chicken

The most interesting thing about food to me is the power it has to take you places emotionally. Food connects us with our family, friends, and even total strangers. The act of breaking bread in a communal setting has to go back to the beginning of our existence, or at least when we put down

I took my youngest daughter, she’s 7, to our county fair a few days ago. She was super excited about going because over the last seven months she’s grown 2 inches taller and can now get on the “cool” rides at the carnival. We were having a blast riding on the big Ferris wheel, both

What is it about growing food in your backyard that makes it so much better than store-bought produce. Does all the attention you give your garden contribute to the intensity of flavor. Well maybe, they do say talking to your plants is beneficial. Or is it the environment of the soil that makes them better.

Cauliflower Rice

Coming in second ain’t so bad. You may not be standing at the top of the podium, but you still get a medal right. I have a box full of 2nd place trophies from my BMX racing days to prove you can always have fun even without the gold. There are plenty of examples where

Thai inspired coconut chicken

If you are like me and love experimenting in the kitchen you might enjoy the freedom of what’s called “dump” cooking. This is typically how our grandmothers would put together a meal, a little of this a pinch of that, measuring with their eyes, seasoning with their intuition and tasting along the way. I do

Bulletproof Coffee

Music on demand, a department store at your fingertips, and sleeping in a strangers house while on vacation. Once considered odd or impossible, these are now normal tenants of our modern society. Having lived through all this technical madness has been an exciting ride, and it’s just getting started. One of the more recent advances,

Cow Juice

You know those particular sayings you hear that instantly take you back to your childhood. You can be anywhere doing anything but once you hear it, boom, you’re a kid again and immediately washed over with childhood memories. One of those phrases for me is “cow juice”. Sounds funny as hell but that is what
