Recently I did some experimental cooking – wheat-free stuffed jalapenos! I sliced each pepper in half, stuffed them with a mixture of herbed chevre and shredded sheep cheese, and rolled them in a mixture of Fiber One (I know, I know… there’s a little wheat in there… just pretend you didn’t know that) and Corn [...]

I Don’t Even Know Where to Start…
Got this email from a co-worker this morning and it’s got me all worked up…

Portland Food Carts
Food carts seem to be a big thing in Portland. They’re all over downtown, taking up full parking lots and drawing huge crowds during lunch hour.

More Food Issues… Surprise!

New Pizza Recipe
Tonight Zach and I decided to try a little experiment – gluten-free pizza!
The crust was homemade with rice flower, xanthan gum (apparently this is a great substitute for the stickiness of egg yolks), olive oil, honey, salt and water. We topped it with organic tomato and basil sauce, grilled chicken, fresh basil, mushrooms, green peppers, [...]

Are the Foods You Eat Making You Sick?
That was the name of the brochure I was given at my doctor visit this weekend. The visit itself was kind of fun… Dr. Nao is a chiropractor and a naturopath so she talked to me about my test results, adjusted my joints and muscles without cracking anything, vibrated my brain with a tuning fork, [...]
