Sautéed Pears

I love cooking fruit.  Especially when it’s out-of-season-not-quite-ripe fruit.  Stone fruits are especially good for this, but so are pears and apples.  The best part is that it’s a super easy dessert and it looks super fancy.  If you want to impress someone with dessert, this is a good one to go with.  Forget about…

Waffle Iron Hashbrowns

OMG, I frakking *LOVE* hashbrowns!!!  I don’t have them a lot, but they’re actually one of the reasons I could never be strictly paleo for an extended period of time.  And when I make them at home, I do it in the waffle iron. Wait.  WUT? Yeah, I said waffle iron.  It’s not really a…
