There is a new family controversy afoot. Yesterday I got a reader request for a chestnut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe. I thought, ‘Wow, why didn’t I think of that!.’ So I did a quick Google search for ideas, then set to work. The resulting cookie was thin, chewy, and fairly nutty. …
Crispy Fried Plantains
I feel almost guilty posting a recipe as simple as this one, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about cooking in the last year, it’s that simple is almost always best. I make these several times per week, and I have to hide them from my mom when I do because she also loves…

Paleo Cottage Fries (white potatoes)
We’ve always been a meat-and-potatoes family. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, grilled potatoes, you name it, we cook it.
