When our last delivery arrived, I went to work making this delicious, herbaceous, buttery liver pâté. Not only is it delicious, but it's also a super nourishing food for the whole [...]

We got a package of spare ribs from our friends at Butcher Box and I couldn't wait to get to work making them fall off the bone delicious. My goal these days is to keep things in the kitchen simple, but I never want to sacrifice flavor or nutrition. That said, these took moments of [...]

Savory scone anyone? Cheesy, salty, prosciutto filled grain free scones, to be exact. I never thought I'd see the day that I'd taste a truly kick ass and also grain free scone. But that day has come, and it's thanks to Otto's Cassava flour. I love this flour, friends. I use it in my final [...]
