Welcome to my crazy world of real food cooking ...

Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan

I wish I could take credit for that because I think it sums up how we should eat. Simply -- eat stuff that really is food, instead of stuff that is food like substance. The supermarket is almost entirely food-like-substances, and, my friends, you should probably never ever eat them.

Fortunately, there is a world of deliciousness out there, and it can all be had in a way that not only doesn't harm your health, but in a way that benefits you hugely.

I think it's important to eat stuff that satisfies you, that keeps your blood sugar stable, and that gives you stuff your body really needs to run optimally.

But baby, it's gotta taste good.

I really like getting experimental in the kitchen. I love cooking, I love layering flavours, and I love coming up with really super yummy food. I have very strong opinions about what constitutes food, and there are a lot of things I won't touch in the kitchen. Bottom line? Pretty much everything I make is ridiculously good for you even if it tastes decadent. Although there are occasional big fat cheats ... but even those stick to real food, my friends.

For food that is usual gluten free, usually free of cane sugar, usually super low on the glycemic index, full of protein, fiber, flavour, and excellent energy, join me and Alice down the rabbit hole.

Every recipe on this blog is my own original effort and idea, so please pass 'em on, giving credit where credit is due.

Many thanks, and come back often. I'm really glad you are here!

Hiatus

Dear readers
I have noticed a trend last summer and this summer. I'll call it the summer slump. I noticed a great drop off in my posts. I have still been cooking, and have all the pictures and recipes ready to go. But, for some reason have been unable to press the magic button that allows me to publish my words. In part I can blame the busy-ness of summer, and the busyness of my business in the summer. But mostly I think I just sort of ... wane ... in my intentions. Some of you may know that May 6th is the anniversary of my father's death, and his birthday was August 23. For some reason, the stretch between May and end of August is sort of fraught and poignant, and sometimes it seems like all I can do is accomplish the necessities and the obligations that involve real time. I spend a lot of time hugging my kid and playing with him, and appreciating the sounds of birds and the sunshine and all that asinine tripe. Thus have I neglected my cyber-obligations, which I regret, but there you have it. I have so many recipes I'm eager to share such as chocolate muffins, summer dinner salads, and home-made lasagna. Thank you for sticking my me even when I am a summer schlump.
