Yeah, we know that Pozole is traditionally made with hominy (processed corn), but we don’t do grain. We are however, doing this chicken-based version in the Instant Pot to make it a snap to prepare. Cauliflower absorbs the flavor of the tomatillos and acts as a base to cream the soup, which makes for a […]
We had some crazy junk food cravings this week. We’re talking mozzarella stick and tater tot level stuff. Fortunately, we were able to squash them with some fresh zucchini from Shade Valley Produce at the HCC Realty Farmers Market/Colonial Village and this easy Grain-Free Zucchini Tots recipe. Check out our Eat Local Series for more […]
Socca is a type of Italian pancake made from chickpea flour, that varies in consistency and thickness. More like a flatbread than a breakfast style pancake, socca can be dense or fluffy, depending on preparation. For savory ingredients, we prefer the heartier crunch of a more substantial crust, so we added almond flour and tweaked […]

Mushrooms get a bad rap, hidden away in dishes or loaded with crap to mask their taste. Because they’re rubbery and gross, right? Wrong. We’ve rolled our eyes at a lot of mushroom “meatball” and “burger” recipes. Let’s be clear, no shroom is ever gonna be a steak. However, they’re main course worthy when cooked […]
There are two types of people in the world: those who like eggplant and those who don’t know they like eggplant. Freshly armed with a mountain of garlic from Broadview Farm and Gardens, we saw a pile of perfectly ripe eggplants at North End City Market and took it as an obvious sign to go […]

It also refrigerates and reheats well for quick leftovers and lunches. We use ghee and chicken broth in this version. However, you can use extra-virgin olive oil and vegetable broth to make it […]
We’re not sure where this two-ingredient dip originated, it’s just always been around in our family. Growing up, it was made with sour cream and brown sugar, but we’ve leaned it down with Greek yogurt and Swerve Brown Sweetener. And that’s it. That’s all there is to this simple Sugar-Free Strawberry Dip. It’s great on […]
If you’re avoiding lectins and really miss grains, sorghum is the bomb (since it has no hull, it contains no lectins). Sorghum’s light, nutty flavor makes it as versatile as rice, and it never gets soggy, so you can make a massive batch and portion for freezer storage. Stove top and slow cooker sorghum take […]

Today we will be discussing the overcooking of fresh green beans. It is an absolute travesty. Stop the insanity and learn how to roast…or even blanch. End transmission. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s talk about the amazing green beans we got from Owl’s Roost Farm at North End City Market and how we […]
