    Apricot Glazed Haricots Verts with Bacon (Organic)

    I had a fantastic article planned to share with you guys today, but for some reason WordPress doesn’t like my outline form and no matter how I try to fix the formatting it won’t allow it.  So instead of tinkering with it any longer, and because it’s 5:10 in the morning and I haven’t gone to sleep yet- I thought I’d share this recipe. It’s Easter weekend and you may be in need of a fresh, vibrant, different side dish to go along with your Easter ham.  This one fits the bill.  You can even make it vegetarian by eliminating the bacon.  Just don’t tell me if you do. It’ll make me cry…

    These Are a Few of My Favorite Things ♪ ♫ ♪

    Today I thought I would talk about my favorite kitchen items.  These are the items that I use weekly if not daily. They are tools that make prepping for a meal or dessert funner.  Yes, I said funner, get over it.  We artsy fartsy creative types like to make up words.  Embrace it.   Some of these serve no other purpose other than they are cute and colorful.  Like me. (wink-wink) My two favorite stores to shop for kitchen items are hands down, Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table (pronounced sir la tahb.) It’s French for sexy man sitting at a table.  Ha! You wish. That’s not what it means. It actually means On…

    Organic Beef Stock

    I’ve shared my chicken stock recipe, and I felt it was high time to share with you how to make a decent beef stock.  You won’t realize how flavorless and watered down a can or carton of beef stock is until you make your own from scratch using the highest quality ingredients you can find.  I generally make at least 1 chicken stock recipe per month. Sometimes two.  And 1 beef stock recipe per month.  You’ll be surprised just how easy it is to make your own stock. You’ll wonder why you didn’t make it sooner!

    Today seemed like a good day to get my French on, and share my chicken pot pie recipe with you!  Everyone needs a solid chicken potpie recipe in his or her arsenal and this is one such recipe.  What makes it special and a little out of the ordinary, (and a little French) is the addition of Herebs de Provence in the Velouté.

    Mmmm Better Cream of Mushroom Soup (Non-GMO and GF)

     I first published this post back in March of 2013.  I’ve since made this recipe 3 times (I make large batches and freeze it) in hopes of getting much better photos, or at least photos that make the soup look appetizing and no matter how I tried, the photos still didn’t do the soup justice.  It’s not pretty soup. It’s prettier than the condensed cream of crud soups from the grocery store, but it doesn’t photograph well at all. So, I did what any decent blogger would do.  I called a good friend in New Zealand who has oodles more photography experience than I do and bribed her to make this recipe and…

    The Dirty Dozen & The Clean 15

    This was one of the very first pages that I published on my blog back when it was called “KaceyCooks”.  I wanted you guys to know about this page so I’m sharing it as a post.  If you’re new to Real Food, you may be at that stage in your journey where you’re feeling a little dazed and confused.  Fret not.  As I’ve stated before making 1-2 changes and perfecting those before moving onto another 1-2 will make things a lot less stressful and you’ll be able to achieve all your Real Food goals. I started out about 7 years ago avoiding the low-fat, no-fat, reduced-fat craze, and then avoiding HFCS like the…

    Paprika Chicken with Smashed Taters & Gravy

    Hands down, this is probably one of my favorite meals from childhood.  My grandmother made this for Sunday dinners back when we used to go over to my Grandparents house after church on Sundays.  I truly miss those times.  I’d almost forgotten that a LARGE bottle of ketchup was present at every Sunday dinner.  I swear my grandfather would drink the stuff if allowed.  One year everyone bought him a bottle of ketchup and he was thrilled! Yeah, I know. It’s kind of gross that we put ketchup on every meat.  You’ll be happy to know that TSM (The Stud Muffin) broke me of that habit very early on in our relationship.  I…
