Coconut Ginger Salmon
Who doesn’t love the combination of coconut, ginger, veggies and salmon? This is a very easy dish to prepare and make. It is faster and easier than our Obscene Tilapia dish (my sister-in-law named this dish…she loved it that much 🙂 ) If you have company coming it’s the perfect meal to make, because it…

Cooking with Coconut Oil: Fig Ricotta Tart
If you’ve perused our site and read some of our recipes we’re sure that you’ve noticed our love for good fats, especially coconut oil.

Rhubarb Kompotte
One of my personal all time favorites is Rhubarb. I love the tart taste, the beautiful color and the amazing diversity of it. As kids we used to just cut a stalk, peel it with our fingers and either dip it into a little sugar or just eat it by itself. The peeling part was…

Amino Glazed Cod

The chef used to prepare this fantastic warm glazed black cod for us. …one of the tastiest morsels that we’ve enjoyed on our culinary journey.

Primal Meat Sauce
As many of you know, we had my parents fly in over the weekend with two other couples, so needless to say it was a great weekend, but very busy as they all stayed with us. Lot’s of meat was cooked up in a variety of ways with great veggies. So with that said, we…

Ring my Bell Pepper!
Mmmmm, one of my personal all time favorite vegetables is The Bell Pepper. It is not only absolutely beautiful, deliciously sweet, but also extremely good for us. Most of us are familiar with bell peppers as green, red, orange or yellow. But they also come in purple and black, and each is incredibly delicious. We are currently…

Live-r for life!
Today we wanted to introduce something a little different, an organ meat, or offal that some of you may have never eaten, or perhaps one that you’ve not eaten since your childhood. We grew up eating calf’s liver, and although it might be an acquired taste for some, we find it to be quite delectable…

Seafood Friday Night Dinner: Shrimp Diablo
We all love our meats, but we do need to mix it up once in a while. With that said, I want to share our Shrimp Diablo dish with you. It is hot and spicy just like its name implies. But the sweetness of the shrimp and cream evens the taste out to angelic delights.…

Not just another salad dressing! Jo’s Almond Butter Salad Dressing
If you pick up any salad dressing bottle in the store and read the ingredients, you’ll probably never want to pour that stuff over your salads again. Even the organic “good for you” kinds will have possible food colorings, canola and soy oils or even more harmful hydrogenated oils, xanthan gum, and juice concentrates. That…

It’s Grillin’ Season: Henry’s Spicy Chimichurri
Husband, you have outdone yourself with this one. I came home from yoga last night to his latest invention: Henry’s Spicy Chimichurri, along with some grass-fed steaks on the grill and an amazing salad! Wow, I am a lucky gal 🙂 So I thought that you’d like to try some yourself. (I even put some…
