Tuscan Luau Chicken! This is a fancy name for a simple pineapple dish that all of us loved. It is a Wildtree recipe that is part of the “Savory Selections Workshop”. I used my Costco 9×13″ pans, so all I had to do was thaw the pan in the fridge, pop it in …
Please don’t let the word “poutine” scare you away from this dish. It’s really easy and delicious. Poutine originates from Canada and is simply of dish of potato fries covered in gravy and cheese curds. There are no cheese curds! No worries. Here is why I love this dish: 1. It’s fast 2. It’s cheap …
Book Update: “Sugar Salt Fat” has still been a really interesting read. It is not about nutrition, but the food companies that have stocked our grocery shelves for a hundred years. It is how they changed their products, how they changed how we see food and how they convinced a generation that they need convenience …
Recipe: I know Christmas is coming up and everyone is busy shopping still. Or in my case, shopping for the toys that Fedex Smartpost lost in between Fedex and the post office. I am so tired of Smartpost always scaring me. It takes them 4 days to make a 15 mile trip down the highway, …

Don’t let the “paleo” label scare you. I stayed away from it too at first thinking the food wasn’t going to be good or because it is soooo healthy it can’t possibly taste better. I am not on the paleo diet. I think of my diet as more in terms of the things I do …
Toy Update: I got a new toy!!!! Last summer was sooooo hot that turning on the oven was impossible. So, this year I got a new toaster convection oven and it is AWESOME. It is already hot outside and we have the AC on because of the children’s allergies. I made this pot pie in the …
Book Update: I finished this week’s lesson in Positive Psychology in Creativity, Aesthetics and Genius. Several videos and commentaries were hosted by Sir Ken Robinson, an education reformer who argues that school is killing creativity. The discussion also includes the rise of the ADHD diagnosis and he argues that the current conforming school system is …
