Meat and Potatoes! I love you. My favorite is probably this classic beef stew, or maybe pot roast, barbacoa short ribs, chicken stew with mashies, or steaks and frites… okay any type of braised beef. With potatoes. And spices. Love it all. And I will say this – I was a vegetarian for several years and we are trying to eat less meat in our...

Gluten-Free Cherry Nectarine Crumble I LOVE summer fruit. Especially, stone fruits like cherries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, and plums. The abundance of summer fruit is awesome.

Because that is when it is perfect for making a fruit crumble or healthy sorghum millet muffins. I’ve...
Fried Smashed Fingerling Potatoes So these fried smashed fingerling potatoes were a very happy accident.

Like a cross between a potato chip and French fries. These would be great to serve at a BBQ...

When it is hot, if you pick the right soup, it is light but filling and so tasty. You get so many nutrients and fiber, which are easy to digest. Some of my favorite Austin...

To use one of my dad’s favorite words – I am somewhat of a chicken tortilla soup “connoisseur”. I have probably ordered it at every Mexican restaurant or hotel that I’ve been to since...
