This recipe dates way, way back to the days of spending Saturday mornings watching cooking shows on our local PBS, and it was one of my first attempts at recipe tweaking. It was really good, but it won’t fit into our currently healthier lifestyle; thus, I’m filing this under “holiday feasting and other gluttonies”. 1…… Continue reading Mushroom Soup v1.0
Asparagus Soup with Pancetta
This is the recipe for the website’s header photo, and I thought that it was time to share the recipe. Its origin dates back about five years, when I was a part of an online “Tea” group, and we had a spring recipe exchange. I had recently discovered the Plant Paradox and wanted to create…… Continue reading Asparagus Soup with Pancetta
Going down the rabbit hole: British WWII Ration diet challenge
Sometime back in April of this year, the almighty FB algorithm suggested a page called the 1940s Experiment.

Thus, I went down…… Continue reading Going down the rabbit hole: British WWII Ration diet challenge

It was part of the “Congratulations, you’re now a diabetic!” package that the medical group handed out as part of a semi-compulsory 2-day Diabetes education course I took. The recipe has evolved quite a bit from…… Continue reading Brainless Breakfast – Keto Style
Spring Radish Salad
What do you do when you join a Spring Tea recipe exchange, and part of the exchange requirements are two savory sides, and you desperately want something other than the obligatory deviled egg or sausage roll? Naturally, you think “vegetables,” and the first one that came to my mind was radishes. Not being able to…… Continue reading Spring Radish Salad
Ramen! Ramen R 101
Thanks to a reasonably well-known YouTuber with over a million subscribers, [Yes, we’re talking about you, Mikey Chen] we became fascinated with ramen. So when a ramen shop opened up nearby where we live, we went and checked it out and thus began our obsession with which ramen is best. That was two plus years…… Continue reading Ramen! Ramen R 101
Siggi’s Swedish style drinkable yogurt
Well it’s not keto or Plant Paradox compliant because it has sugar in it, at least it’s cane sugar, but it is very good.
