Since y'all love my last fruit leather post so much, I thought I'd make another one for you that is in season!
Here goes, get your pumpkins ready.
Here's what you will need: one 15-oz can of pumpkin, canned coconut milk, unsweetened applesauce, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground black pepper, nutmeg, and coconut oil.
In a blender, add…
I've decided that I might be insane. For example, I drove up to Dallas last night after attending a very important pumpkin carving party where I ate ribs and chicken legs like a cave woman.
I couldn't tell how fast I was going because for some reason the speedometer on my car changed to kilometers so…
In just a few hours, I'm going to be picking up two of my favorite people from the airport, Todd and Diane from White on Rice Couple. Then we're jetting off to Joshua Creek Ranch, the place where I shot that magazine cover a few months ago, and guess what we're doing there? We're shooting…

Fruit vinegars are a great way to enhance the flavor in almost anything and a good way to use an over abundance of fruit. You can use them to deglaze the pan of a roasted chicken or pork chop, add them to green salads and fruit salads, or add them to sparkling water for a…
I stumbled upon a new beer bar in Mill Valley a few weeks ago, with sawn lumber for tables and a sea of beer and nothing to eat but German pretzels, rolled out, and twisted, and baked to order. I tried a pretzel and what struck me most was not the pretzel (though it was…
A few weeks ago I rendered some duck fat.
And then I rendered some pig fat.
And it was good.
