Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon

When you grow up in the desert and your dad doesn’t fish, it’s not highly unlikely to see the absence of fish at the table.  Maybe that’s why my older brother never liked fish.  Still to this day he has a hard time with the smell of fish.  But, I think it has more toContinue reading “Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon”

Grain-Free & Peanut Butter-Free Monster Cookies

I read this honest, vulnerable piece on overeating today and it struck a chord with me.  I was hit by how often I hear from someone, be it a close friend or acquaintance or reader, “Well Kamille, you eat really healthy!,” or, “Oh, Kamille has a blog where she talks about food and hospitality, andContinue reading “Grain-Free & Peanut Butter-Free Monster Cookies”

How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met

I’ve been salivating over The Urban Poser’s sourdough cashew bread for a while, but I haven’t had time to make it.  That is until now.  And all I can wonder is, “why haven’t I done this long before?”   Yesterday I processed the raw, organic cashews with filtered water.  Then, added the probiotic (mine wasContinue reading “How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met”

Crockpot Harissa Meat Chili (Savoring: The Practices of Eating)

I hope you’ve been following along with my practices of Eating series.  It’s a slow but steady wins the race sort of series, which hopefully will be done by the end of May.  Yet, seeing that my word of the year is Peace, and combine that with life being too short to miss, the wordContinue reading “Crockpot Harissa Meat Chili (Savoring: The Practices of Eating)”

Bread & Wine Review & Mango Chutney & Turkey Burgers (Practices of Eating)

My friend Jessica told me about the release of this book titled, Bread & Wine by an author who’s name rung a bell from way back when.  Her name was Shauna Niequist.  I remembered hearing about her from one of Rob Bell’s sermons way back in 2007.  So I did what any person would do…”aContinue reading “Bread & Wine Review & Mango Chutney & Turkey Burgers (Practices of Eating)”

Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip

It’s five minutes before my oldest arrives on the bus, so here you go.  Straight forward dip for those who can eat nuts, but avoiding all other allergens.  I love it and so does everyone who tastes it.  Add more cumin, more acid from the lemon, or heat from the red pepper chili flakes.  ServeContinue reading “Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip”

Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts

We have three more days left in our Whole30 journey as a family, where we have forgone all grains, legumes, dairy & sugars for 30 days.  And I can honestly say that I have felt so much more invigorated since the arrival of Caprice. She is still not anywhere close to sleeping through the night,Continue reading “Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts”

Butternut Squash with Pork Meatball Soup

There are simple pleasures in life.  Many of which revolve around little beauties.  Those uninhibited, rarely captured (well, with Instagram it would seem everything is) moments.  In my struggle of perpetual anxiety, I need these gems to pull out & lay the table with, in order to remind me that everything is a gift ifContinue reading “Butternut Squash with Pork Meatball Soup”

Paleo Pecan Tart

Cadence is known for asking, “Let’s go to a restaurant to eat!”  You would think I don’t feed her well by her love for desire to be elsewhere.  Quite the contrary as I’m sure you well know.  And still, I liken her affection to my affections as a child to going out to eat.  Continue reading “Paleo Pecan Tart”

Paleo Pie/Tart Crust

The class was gathered around the large cutting table turned pie crust 101.  Where we would measure our fabric, pin the pattern to cut became the central spot for Mrs. Haile to teach us how to do a new lesson in Home Economics.  I’m pretty sure most schools don’t offer home economics anymore, seeing thatContinue reading “Paleo Pie/Tart Crust”
