Paleo Chicken Salad with Homemade Asian Mayonnaise

Uncategorized

Growing up I hated mayonnaise. Or rather I hated what we’ve come to call mayonnaise. But let’s be real: Hellmans and Miracle Whip are not mayonnaise. Once you experience real mayonnaise, you won’t go back. Real, homemade mayo can be the small touch that totally transforms a burger, sandwich or...

Asparagus, Artichoke, Pesto and Goat Cheese Quiche with Quinoa Crust

Sometimes as I write these posts I wish I was eating the food instead of just writing about it. This is most definitely one of those days. Can we please rewind to last Sunday, when I was actually eating this beautiful quiche instead of just gawking at it? I guess...

Uncategorized

I figure it’s only fair that out of every three flavors we try, Courtney gets to pick out one. He’s taking on half the responsibility as a taster after all… in fact probably more than half the responsibility! For his first pick, he chose this vanilla toffee crunch. It’s a...
