I have to assume if you are a regular reader of this column, then you are serious about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making each meal as healthy as possible. Fair warning to all those new to this way of living, the peer pressure from family and friends to put that all aside from Thanksgiving […]
A Chicken and Dressing Throwback You Won’t Want to Miss
It’s Thanksgiving week. I know the first image that always conjures up is the giant roast turkey from a Norman Rockwell painting, but for me, the star of the show was always my grandmother’s chicken and dressing. It stands out in my memory as a plate full of happiness and contentment. Maybe it was the […]
Fall is here! Let’s revisit this Pumpkin and Squash delight with Jason
Spaghetti squash seems to get a lot of push-back, through no fault of its own. People will tell me it’s too mushy, the noodles aren’t long enough, and it doesn’t hold up structurally in dishes. I’ve got some hard news for you. Those issues are all your fault. The spaghetti squash is more than capable […]
Revisiting a Cookout Favorite: Ground your chickens and cook your bacon!
Ground your chickens and cook your bacon I’m sure you’ve noticed that everything is more expensive these days. Chicken breasts are no exception. The last time I bought local, pasture raised chicken breasts, I thought I was going to have to finance it for a couple of years. Lately I’ve decided to go a […]
The Melting Pot with Jason
American food, much like most of the people in it, originates from other lands. Unless you are a descendant of Native Americans, at some point in the past, an ancestor arrived here in one way or another. Many arrived with just the clothes on their backs, and some arrived with even less than that against their will. The […]
Shopping for healthy food? Buyers beware, labels lie!
If you have been reading this series of articles for any length of time, you know that I alway bring up reading the ingredient list on any packaged food. There is good reason for that. Labels lie. They mislead. They gaslight. They misdirect like a street magician performing a card trick. The label on the […]
This slow cooker recipe won’t let a taco rob you of the clocko
Summer is here. I can tell because I have 2 metric tons of dust in my lungs from mowing the other day. My electric meter is spinning like a skydiver’s altimeter when the parachute doesn’t open. And yellowjackets are buzzing around all angry…wait…they are never not angry. No matter, I know summer when I see […]
Legends of the Fall with Jason
There are many fears in life. Some are rational, some not so much. Politicians seem to deal only in fear nowadays, because it’s such an easy emotion to tap into and manipulate. I bet I could fill a book with fears I wasted time on that never happened, or ones I worried about so much that I seemed […]
Unprocessed Processed Wraps with Jason
The main tenet of my eating philosophy that I’ve practiced for the last eight years is to avoid as much pre-processed foods as possible. That has to be taken with a common sense approach. Unless you are only eating fruits and vegetables you grow yourself, and livestock or wild game that you raise, almost all foods that […]
Hey Hey Hey, you turkeys – Turkey and Mac with Jason
Recently I found a favorite tv show from my childhood streaming on Amazon…the one and only Fall Guy. I loved this show as a kid. I loved the song, the truck, the action, and Heather Thomas didn’t hurt my interest at all. After watching the pilot again with adult eyes, I implore any of you with […]
