Oven roasted pumpkin and squash puree make great Paleo breads, muffins and pancakes. Make an oven full of winter squashes at one time, and freeze the puree for later.

OVEN-ROASTED PUMPKIN AND SQUASH INGREDIENTS A variety of small sugar pumpkins (3 - 4 pounds) and squashes such as acorn, butternut ... Keep Reading >

“Illegal” Pate
I call this recipe "Illegal" since it's best with lots of butter and duck fat, and a little Brandy, Bourbon or Cognac. It makes a lot, and keeps for a week in the fridge or longer in the freezer. Pate with brandy is very tasty! I've made this basic recipe for years, changing the herbs or liquor, or adding a few mushrooms to the saute phase. Give it a day or two before eating for the flavors to deepen. If you use several small ramekins instead ... Keep Reading >

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Walnuts

Fried Eggs in a Bell Pepper Ring
This is the easiest thing there is, and fried eggs in a bell pepper ring just might make breakfast a little easier. If your kids haven't learned to love peppers yet, maybe this will help! I don't recommend cooking in Teflon non-stick or other coated pans as the plastic coating on them will come off into the food - even if you can't see it degrading. Try enamel-coated iron, or a good old cast iron skillet you don't wash with soap. My ... Keep Reading >
