It’s Wednesday night. You don’t have a dinner idea. What can you do? Pork chops to the rescue! There may be nothing more classic than pork chops served with applesauce, but you can still get the same effect by cooking up apples along with your pork chops. When you add bacon into the mix you…
Nothing says “paleo” like bacon. Am I right? Bacon is a healthy fat for paleo eaters to enjoy, and we all know it’s a pretty enjoyable bite! Bacon can have a place in both savory and sweet dishes, and I’ve got some of each to share with you.
What do you do when you have a bunch of mushrooms on your hands? Why, stuff them, of course! Mushrooms don’t have to be a side character in all of your cooking. Why not give them a starring role and see just how well they can shine? With all of the nutrients they pack, it…
Eat more broccoli. That’s what all the health experts say no matter which diet they’re peddling. It’s pretty much an undisputed vegetable that has fiber, minerals, and even protein. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on your fiber intake each day and make sure you’re getting enough. Finding a tasty broccoli dish could…

The first method I used to cook the asparagus and bacon did not work out so well. I’ll still outline the method here, in the hopes of saving time for other people in the future. First I cut each piece of raw bacon in half lengthwise. I then wrapped the thin, long piece of bacon…
The Brussels sprouts should be washed thoroughly and trimmed. Sometimes you can even find sprouts still attached to the stalk, in what looks like a long green log. This even fresher version of Brussels sprouts can be sliced off the stalk with a pairing knife. Then, depending on their size, the sprouts should be halved…
The steps to this recipe are very, very simple. Cook some bacon (admittedly my favorite part). Use some of the leftover bacon fat in a large saucepan to sauté some onion and garlic. Add potatoes and simmer in chicken broth. Puree everything, and you’re done. The result is a creamy, hearty soup with a whole…
This dish took me by surprise in how filling it turned out to be. When I originally measured out the batter I thought that it would barely serve two people, so I also prepared a small side dish in case we weren’t full. Instead, I was satisfied after eating one piece (or corner) of the…
