A pot roast is another traditional comfort food! This recipe is so incredibly simple and the flavor will knock your socks off.

If ever there was a comfort food that takes you back to all those good feelings that come with a home-cooked meal prepared by your mom, it is probably meatloaf. But as time goes on, as much as we love meatloaf, it is pretty high in saturated fats and cholesterol, and may not fit your desire for healthier eating. Here is a fabulous recipe from the book, The Dude Diet, by Serena Wolf. The best thing is that not only is this easy, and low cost, everyone loves it, even the kids!…
I use tri-colored baby carrots for this dish because they are so wonderfully colorful. The French seem partial to tarragon as you find it in so many of their recipes, especially sauces such as Béarnaise Sauce. Tarragon’s distinctive yet subtle herbal flavor is particularly well suited to use with fish and chicken, and as part of vinaigrettes and sauces. But I have to say, that the understated flavor and aroma of tarragon combined with butter and honey make for some sublimely delicious carrots….

This is an amazingly wonderful variation on the French cassoulet, but one that is little easier and less expensive than the traditional recipes, yet the aroma, flavor, and texture of this recipe is every bit as delightfully delicious as it is inexpensive.
Don’t be put off by this being a French recipe. This is not the sort of thing that is only achieved by a French chef. Yes, it is a little involved, but it is still pretty easy to follow and achieve this spectacularly savory and sumptuous meal.

What I love about smoking foods it that it can be ridiculously simple, or very technical, depending on how you go about it. Using an electric smoker is a easy way to get started. It is relatively inexpensive, and practically as simple as plugging it in and pushing a button.

I really enjoy Trader Joe’s buffalo burger patties when preparing grilled burgers. This is a great way to take a traditional cheese burger up a notch, not only in flavor, but also health and buffalo tends to be pretty lean.

Smoking meats has a number of wonderful effects. Cooking a meat ‘low and slow’ allows the proteins to breakdown and rendering a singularly moist and tender outcome. Secondly, this approach to cooking allows the seasoning to make greater effect. But lastly, and most importantly, this cooking method leaves the meat with the most delicious aroma, and aroma makes up much of our taste, in fact, researchers say 80 percent of the flavors we taste come from what we smell.
