I love combining flavors that seem out of the ordinary only to discover that they've been a perfect match all along. This is one of those kinds of recipes and I always have the ingredients on hand in my pantry. Ironically, this particular pie recipe originated at a time in which sugar was rationed during World War II. Yup, sugar was rationed, but maple syrup was not and though it was costly if purchased at the grocer's it was still widely available in unpopulated areas in which people could...

A friend of mine had an "Iron Chef" contest in her neighborhood a couple of years ago. This dish was one of the best that night and she was kind enough to share the recipe with me.

They’ve got a gallon of extra virgin, cold pressed on sale for less than you can get it from the manufacturer and that is even in consideration of the shipping!
They also have some steep markdowns on a couple of Shirley J products that are two of my favorites as well as the high quality Redmond RealSalt. So I thought it would definitely...

by Kellene You may be too young to know this, but a long time ago, coconut oil (and some palm oils) was in virtually everything you ate. Your French fries were cooked in it, your mayonnaise was made with it, and it was used in many of your processed foods as well. So what changed? How did coconut oil fall from grace in the food industry? Well, like most instances such as this, the secret behind this switch has to do with money, power, and greed.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely hate...
