Ground Beef Stroganoff

If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll know that Mr. Nomato and I lived for two years on a tiny tiny Caribbean island. Like 5 miles square tiny, population ~2000 people. There are more goats on the island than people. So. Many. Goats. Groceries came in once a week by boat, usually on Wednesday, sometimes Thursday… Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you… Read More

Italian Wedding Soup

Okay, I’m officially in denial. I admit it. Summer is here, and here I am, making soup. I could make some sort of excuse, like drinking hot liquids makes it seem not so hot outside… or that I had leftovers in the fridge that I needed to get rid of… And while both of those excuses… Read More

Crispy Crunchy Egg Rolls

I have only two rules for myself when I go to the grocery store: 1) Never go hungry, and 2) always always bring a list. Without these rules, shopping trips can turn into a disaster. My hungry self is VERY ambitious. As I wander the aisles I think of all the delicious things that I… Read More

Sweet Potato Beef Stew

You know how sometimes you make something over and over and it’s delicious but just not… fantastic? There’s something missing, but you can’t quite put your finger on it? That was how beef stew used to be for me. Something to eat, not something to really enjoy. That has changed. This beef stew is to… Read More

Nightshade Free Miracle Chili

Nightshade. Free. Chili. And that’s it. We’re done. Pack it up, move it out, blog’s over. I’m just kidding, of course. But seriously, guys. There’s no way I’m ever going to top this. This chili is… I just don’t even know how this is possible. It tastes almost exactly like tomato chili. With every mouthful,… Read More

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

So it seems I've settled into a winter food/crockpot rut over the last few weeks. I feel like I'm hibernating like an alligator (apparently they are sleeping now - I did not realize that alligators hibernate). And do you know what? I'm 100% okay with both the sleeping alligators and my delicious delicious crockpot streak. This week's… Read More
