Originally published December 24, 2003. I’ve been a haunted man for 13 years, and I place the blame squarely on Tiny Tim’s crooked little shoulders. It was December 1990, and I had just finished rereading A Christmas Carol. Inspired by Tiny’s exultant prayer, “God bless us every one,” I decided that I, too, would have a proper Christmas dinner. The next day I marched into my local butcher shop in Brooklyn and ordered a goose. Luigi, a short, rotund man who had to stand on a milk crate to talk to his customers, leaned over the meat case and cocked an eyebrow: “Have you ever made a goose before?” “Puh-lease,” I replied, even though the only experience I had cooking fowl...
And with good quality lamb you’ll find the flavor amazing and tender. [feast_advanced_jump_to] Many of us grew up with some preconceived notions of lamb meat. If you were anything like us, your experience with lamb likely involved some kind of strongly flavored mint sauce to drown the meat in. And that lamb may likely have tasted very gamey and was probably overcooked (which is why it may have benefited from the mint sauce, to mask the flavor). What we have learned is that good lamb is actually quite tender and delicious and rarely has the gamy flavor that we grew up with. Perhaps it’s time to give lamb a second chance! What is Lamb If you seek out lamb in...
Maple Mustard Salmon is a healthy dinner recipe, made with 5 ingredients and in only 15 minutes! You’ll love this delicious, easy, one-pan baked salmon. It’s gluten-free and low carb. If you know me, you know my love for salmon! Not only is it delicious, but it’s such a pretty shade of pink! Well, technically the color is SALMON. So, I guess they call it that for a reason. Haha. Anyway, because it’s healthy (full of Omega 3 fats) and really quick and easy to cook, I make it often. When it’s warm outside, I grill it to use in Salmon Salad Veggie Bowls. Most of the time though, I like to make sheet pan salmon dinners. Because after...

Developing new recipes often takes time and lots of trial and error… We often have to make a new recipe two or three times to get it just right (if not more!). We nailed this Gluten Free Chocolate Yogurt Cake with Strawberry Coulis Recipe the very first time we made it!! Honestly, I would have loved making it a few times in a row- it’s that good! I absolutely LOVE this twist on a traditional chocolate cake! The SO Delicious Unsweetened Plain Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative is the star of this recipe. It makes this cake SO moist and delicious! To keep it gluten free, we used a mixture of my favorite grain free flours: cassava, almond, and coconut. The cocoa...
