Blueberry Bison Burgers
It seems like an unlikely combination, but it is oh so goooood! This is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts. I like to pair it with steamed ginger broccoli and organic mixed greens with thinly sliced radishes. Blueberry Bison Burgers Serves 2 1 pound ground bison *You...

Slow-Cooked Pork Roast
There are no words to describe how beyond delicious this pasture-raised roasted pork shoulder is! We use a boneless pork butt for this pork roast. Despite its name, pork butt does not come anywhere near the butt of a pig! Pork butt refers to a cut of meat from the...

Simple Seared Duck Breast
I love duck in all its fatty, succulent gamey glory! Cast iron skillet-seared duck breast is my favorite fast-and-easy weekday dinner for one. My favorite purveyor for duck breast is an advocate of natural and sustainable farming practices, to which I have local...

A delicious twist on classic roast chicken? The addition of cinnamon! Beyond imparting a warm, sweet, fragrant aroma, cinnamon is a spice that has also been used medicinally since ancient times. The Chinese used cinnamon at least 5,000 years ago, and medicinal the use...

Grilled Pasture-Raised Pork Chops with Jerk Marinade
A little natural sweetness (low-glycemic coconut sugar) and a lot of spice (allspice, serrano, ginger) make everything nice in this mouthwatering jerk marinade... The aroma. The taste. The experience! Pasture-raised pork chops are a perfect complement. Also on my...

Ginger Flank Steak
When I was growing up, one of my mother’s staple home-cooked dishes was stir-fried broccoli with sliced flank steak with big hunks of ginger in the mix. As a kid, I wasn’t crazy about broccoli; I didn’t much like flank steak; nor did I care for large chunks of ginger...
