  So there’s been a very sad development here in the PLFF house here lately.  About 6 months ago I realized I was lactose intolerant. Seriously one of the worst days of my life. I still have day dreams of ice cream.  And brie. And tetrazzini.  And a cold glass of milk with breakfast. But, [...]

I’ve talked a lot lately about all the elk we’ve been eating.  One of our favorite cuts has actually ended up being the elk roasts.  Now, we get minimum info form the butcher, we have no idea what kind of roast they have been – my best guess is a rump-roast.  Anywho.  When we picked [...]

So here at the PLFF house we’ve been making a very conscious effort to eat a lot cleaner – we’ve done away with nearly all processed foods in our house.  We still have some ways to go, but we’ve taken leaps and bounds in the past few weeks. And you know what? It’s not that [...]

Like I mentioned on Thursday, I hosted this month of What’s Baking and tortured the gals by challenging them to overcome their fears of working with yeast. And overcome they did!  Can I tell you about this amazing group of ladies? This is what I love about the blogging community.  We’re across the c

And this recipe makes a bajillion muffins.  So there’s plenty for the whole weekend. But even if you don’t wan

Pit Stop? I was a little skeptical when a our friend Roschelle proposed this idea for her son’s birthday. But I have to admit, they turned out pretty cute! To make the road-like cake pops, I coated the pops like normal, only stuck them upside-down on a silpat to make a flat top, like this: Then dipp

Most of the time when I make a vegetarian dinner, my husband responds with “It’s good, but it would be better with bacon.” This meal was no exception. Only this time, he was right. (shhhh, don’t tell!) We swapped the kale out for some spinach, added a few slices of bacon, and whoa.  Still relatively

Two of my husband’s more favorite things in the world.  Beer and cupcakes.  Really, it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to put the two together. You might be skeptical, but look how well Guinness and cupcakes go together.  Brilliant. Could a wheat beer be any less brilliant?
