This is a popular dish that has been shared by many respectable cooks. Often, this recipe calls for the use of liquor and white wine. For our version, we keep things simple and allow the flavors of the chicken to be enhanced only by bathing in herbs (and a massive amount of garlic) for a few hours. Do not get so caught up in the tender and juicy chicken that you forget to enjoy the steamed cloves of garlic. They are a wonderful little treat in their own right.
The heart of the artichoke is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow—it is truly a treat! Artichoke hearts, commonly found canned in stores, are tasty. However, they cannot compare to the fabulous taste of freshly steamed artichoke hearts. For this recipe, the hearts are the star of the show. This dish brings a bit of gourmet to a beloved vegetable of ours.
Here in our little corner of Pennsylvania, golden beets are only seen in the stores every so often. When we do come across them, this salad instantly gets planned for an upcoming meal. We love the way the warm and tender beets compliment the cool, sweet crunch of the Fuji apples.
Everyone received a different type of birthday cake this year. For my father’s birthday, we thought we would surprise him with his favorite—coconut cake! Our coconut cake is light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness.
Gingerbread cookies are a favorite holiday treat of mine that I’ve enjoyed my whole life. The crisp, yet chewy texture of our cookies is a perfect analogue to conventional recipes. We’ve shared these with non-paleo family members, and they have been given unanimous approval.
