OMgosh, it’s OMghee!

Ghee, the purified essence of butter, is one of our very favorite cooking (and eating!) fats.  Ghee is a nutrient powerhouse, loaded with healthy fats and essential vitamins like A, D, E, and K. The process of clarifying butter and turning it into ghee also eliminates any potential negative health effects from milk proteins found in plain old butter, making it safe choice for most--even those with a dairy intolerance. We first hopped on the ghee bandwagon in 2011, bringing Pure Indian Foods … [Read more...]

Paleo Power Lunch

Lunch. The oft under-appreciated mid-day meal. We use it to seal business deals, catch up with friends, or make unenthusiastic use of last night’s leftovers. For those of us with a Good Food focus, though, lunchtime can be a big old bummer. All too often we fall into the trap of under-preparation, assuming we’ll be able to find something acceptable in the cafeteria, restaurant, or supermarket deli counter. Then, when we come up empty – or worse, make an off-road choice that proves to be less … [Read more...]
