    Breadfruit Fun

    Hello, tender friends! This is breadfruit that we brought home from Florida. Anthony and I LOVE trying new foods. Variety is the spice of life, and we both geeked out when we discovered an international food store. We ate tons of squid, a humanely raised duck, and chocolates imported from Italy. We ended up bringing…

  • Summer Iced Coffee Treat-KETO!

    Hello, tender friends! You know when Pooh Bear says it’s “time for a little smackerel of something?” We all have our Pooh Bear moments, but the good news is that your Pooh Bear moments can be keto! Real green leaf stevia was the only sweetener that was permitted when my mom was treated for clear-cell…

  • How to Make Homemade Horseradish

    Hello, tender friends! Making your own horseradish is so easy . Easy peasy lemon squeezy. And everybody loves it except for that little Boo Boo in the middle. (If you’re new here, that’s my dad on the right. God has blessed us by letting us take him to church on Sundays. Praise Jesus!) Making your…

  • A Healthy Valentine’s Day Treat

    Hello, tender friends! We had a delicious and decadent Valentine’s Day dinner. Steak and asparagus are yummy all the time, and especially when grilled. Oh, and that’s homemade horseradish, but more on that next week. While Valentine’s Day is a good day to indulge, I actually found a way to indulge this Valentine’s Day that…

  • Cooking with Edible Flowers

    Hello, tender friends! I’m still fighting that war we Christians fight with prayer, but I’m sharing something different today. The paywall on this article I wrote is finally down-yay! https://theroanoker.com/magazine/features/cooking-with-edible-flowers/ Writing about natural foods and foraging is one of my writing passions, so writing this article was fun and fulfilling. A friend even told me…

  • Fresh Salmon & Fresh Greens

    Hello, tender friends! After returning home from my friend’s baby shower, it was too late to cook a big meal. (Also, don’t you love writing prayers for babies at baby showers? My prayer for this girl is that she’ll call upon the name of the Lord to move mountains.) We had bought fresh salmon the…

    Post-Fair Garden Gazpacho

    Hello, tender friends! It was another successful year at the fair this past weekend! If you want to see a post that I wrote two years ago about the fair, here it is. Of course, it was hot as blazes at the fair. So to cool off, we enjoyed some garden gazpacho when we got…

    Cabbage “Steaks”

    Hello, tender friends! With garden herbs and a substitution for marsala wine (because I didn’t have any), this cabbage steak hit all the savory buttons on my palate! This “cabbage steak” idea has been trending, but I used as much of our own garden treasures as possible, so this will vary from what you may…

  • Carrot Coriander Soup

    Hello, tender friends! We’ve been busy cooking and cooking. I’ve missed walking outside to gather most of my ingredients and I’m enjoying this season despite the heat. (That necklace was one of my recent crafting adventures.) Today, let’s talk about carrot coriander soup. It’s very similar to a recipe that I got from a GAPS…

  • Summery Cilantro Lime Chicken

    Hello, tender friends! Our cilantro has bolted, so I’m using up as much as I can for the next few weeks. Cilantro is a powerful heavy metal detoxifier and therefore a yummy way to heal. (Detox should be part of any healing protocol.) This cilantro lime oil is so easy for a week night dinner.…
