Let’s start with the sauce. Actually, this recipe is pretty close to what a traditional Bolognese sauce recipe would look like. It’s got meat, onion, garlic, celery, carrots (yup, that’s traditionally an ingredient in Bolognese!), olive oil, tomatoes, bay leaves… all very traditional stuff. If you’re questioning the cinnamon, don’t! I’ve seen some Bolognese recipes…

But I’ve never liked pumpkins seeds as much as I really want to. So this Halloween week, I set out to find a recipe using pepitas, the Spanish word for pumpkin (or squash) seeds, that I might actually like. And BOY did I succeed! I knew from eating Paleo for a while now that I…
The first step to success in this recipe is making sure you get the slices nice and thin. I used a mandolin – a very sharp blade on a flat board that slices vegetables and fruit when you run them over the blade. One important tip about the mandolin, if you’re going to use one:…
So she told her chef to invent a cake that could be eaten as a finger food. And he came up with brownies. Now, they probably weren’t Sweet Potato Brownies like this recipe, but I like to think of this as an improvement on the original. Why are Sweet Potato Brownies better than the original?…
