nourishing a happy, healthy life
Nothing to do with anything.
Awhile back I read an interesting book written by Deborah Madison titled: What We Eat When We Eat Alone. In it, she interviews people about what they eat when they cook for themselves. Salmon cakes, similar to these, were one woman’s answer. I was intrigued by…
This is a yummy change from traditional chickpea hummus and it came to mind when I was trying to think of recipes for my friend who’s on an elimination diet. I cooked my own beans, but canned beans work fine. Just watch the salt because…
It wasn’t that long ago that there weren’t great options for eating out in Provo. If you didn’t want to trek up to Sundance, you were pretty much stuck with the P-town institutions. Thankfully, things have gotten a lot better. Now there are enough truly good…

We made these lovely popovers for a very special Sunday breakfast and had them with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. I don’t think it really gets any better than this. Spencer’s family has been making popovers for generations, so he came with the pan in…
This one is a winner! People who don’t like regular potato salad gobble this up. Who wouldn’t like potatoes with sour cream and bacon. Gigi introduced this recipe to us. I’ve made it a couple times since, including Cooktober Fest! Use Costco bacon crumbles. I almost…
