The last time I cooked with and wrote about KOL Foods I made a lamb wellington which proved to be very popular with our dinner guests and everyone that read the post. The dish was a lot of fun to prepare and the same is true about this stuffed turkey breast. Turkey breast often has the reputation for being the dry and flavorless, left to snack on when nursing that post-Thanksgiving [...]

I am a little obsessed with my brand new Falcon Enamel cookware. Everything I cook in this bake set has an authentic farm-to-table feel about it that can only come from cook ware made with love. As a tribute to Falcon, shipped from London to my home in America’s Mid-West, I decided to share a traditional British dish with you today, Shepard’s pie. Thanks to the kind people at Falcon, [...]

In February 2013 I flew to New York for 50 hours to attend the Kosher Food and Wine Experience. As I made friends and mingled with foodies, there are two questions I was asked over and over again. First, “isn’t that where Kosher on a Budget is from?” Second, “why Kansas?”. After two years in this fine city, I answered that question my my recent Times of Israel Op-Ed. In short, these [...]

I have been feeling guilty that it’s been so long since I posted a vegan meal. We have reached the point in our lifestyle that our diet is mostly meatless from Monday to Thursday. Factor in the dairy free life style and we’re just a stone throw away from being vegan. I don’t know that we will ever make the leap to exclude meat, chicken and fish from our diet completely, [...]

On Shabbat (Saturday) afternoon, we welcomed our baby girl in to our lives making us a family of four. My wife did an outstanding job, listening to her body and remaining in control throughout labor, and to quote her, she had “the perfect birth”. A few weeks ago my wife shared her first birth story. This time around the experience was completely different, positive in every way and I want to [...]

Congratulations to Janet and Gina, winners of my Povitica giveaway! Thank you all for your entries! Next month I’ll be giving away a copy of The Vegan Slow Cooker. Oat Soup sounds strange to me and I can not take credit for this recipe, but while my mother visited a few months ago, we politely agreed to allow her to make this soup for dinner one night. I am glad [...]

One night in April I sat down in front of the TV with a can of beer and bag of chips fooling myself into thinking that was dinner. A light went on in my mind and I realized it was time to change. The next day, I walked in to Weight Watchers and met Ann.

Sunday didn’t really go quite a planned. We didn’t learn how to can our own produce at the farm. We didn’t make it to the Truman Museum or Clinton’s Soda Factory in Independence, MO. We did not even make it to a movie. Stomach flu kept my wife in bed and at 8.00 am I found myself in Whole Foods buying organic, local produce so I could get fresh chicken soup [...]
