Welcome to Divine Dinners, my weekly meal plan, where each Monday I will post 5 dinners that my family enjoys. Often they will just be my previous week’s meal plan. We are a family of five, with four hungry growing boys ages 13-4 and myself. Around here, we consume pastured/grass fed meats at every meal, [...]

I simply adore Indian food. Alas, it has been ages upon ages since I have enjoyed some proper Indian fare. There was the time a year and a half ago, when I made Sandor Katz recipe, from Wild Fermentation, for dosas filled with a curried fish recipe, and made some kulfi for dessert. That was [...]

I get nostalgic just thinking about them, remembering being a little girl picking them off the vine and eating them right on the spot. This salad combines peas with another spring favorite, radishes. Radishes make me happy as well, I love [...]

Yesterday, I pseudo-celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day with my kids, my boyfriend, his 3 kids and a friend. I’m not Irish, but he is. Does it really even matter? It’s kinda fun to find a reason to celebrate, especially when said celebration revolves around food. Of course, I am not sure a celebration would even be [...]

(typing that title makes me sing; Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie, Blueberry Muffin just 3 inches high – ring a bell anyone? and, yeah…I have a song for everything!) Miraculously spring is fully under way in my neck of the woods, birds are singing, flowers are budding, trees are blossoming, pink & white, and all is [...]
