Country Bison Stew
It is snowing today in Boulder! Everything outside looks so beautiful outside. My doggie can’t wait to go out and play in the snow. What comes with snow is a cold day. All I want to do is to snuggle in bed and eat warming food. I decided to make Polish Bison stew for this cold day so that I can feel nourished. It’s a classic Polish Bison Stew. Bison chuck is seared in olive oil first or avocado oil, and then slowly braised with garlic and onions. After a couple of hours in the oven, the meat becomes […]
How to Nourish Your Body During Fall
Fall has arrived, and the hot summer days gradually become shorter. We welcome cooler air, and the leaves begin to change, presenting us with their colorful foliage before they start to fall off the trees to prepare for the coming winter. The cold air signals us to start putting away our light summer clothes and get out heavier and warmer clothes for colder weather. Fall is a time of harvest and gathering of the beautiful and bountiful, brightly colorful squashes, pumpkins and root vegetables so that they can be put away for winter. This time of the year we […]
How Organ Meats Can Improve Your Hormonal Health & Liver Pate Recipe
The importance of balanced hormones is known to all. However, there is one thing that is still very hard to understand; the moving components and the amount of nutrients needed to keep things in proper balance. Consider this; if your pituitary gland does not get sufficient vitamins D and E or magnesium, it will not be able to secrete hormones in the right way. That would even affect different glands and organs that rely on the pituitary signals. Lack of these substances would also lead to a lack of thyroid hormone, which can affect metabolism. When it comes to […]
Hazelnut Pumpkin Pancakes
Alright. So let’s talk about breakfast food. Are you a fan? Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I prefer to have a savory breakfast. Growing up I always preferred savory over sweet breakfast. That’ how we ate breakfast in my country, Poland. We ate eggs, veggies, potatoes, cheese, sausage, and some fermented food. So most of the time this how my breakfast looks. Sometimes though I must admit, I carve some sweeter version. Fluffy pumpkin pancakes and crapes are my absolute weakness. These pumpkin pancakes are super yummy and fluffy as pancakes made with regular flour. What […]

Gut and Brain Connection
Have you ever had a “gut-wrenching” experience? Have you ever felt “butterflies” in your stomach? Have you ever fell “sick to your stomach” or ” fell nauseous” when something emotional happened? Have you ever had a “gut feeling” about something? Those expressions are here for a reason. Our gut-gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to different emotion. Sadness, anxiety, anger— can trigger symptoms in the gut. Studies have shown that there is a direct connection between the brain and the stomach. It is well known that the thought about eating can release the stomach’s juices before the food gets there. An […]

If you are looking for a great coffee substitute – here you found it! If you want to be healthy, watch your calories, keep your lean figure and quit coffee but don’t want to give up your favorites lattes, then you need to check out this healthy latte recipe.

How to Cook With Pumpkin. Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe
It’s October, fall is here, and Thanksgiving is coming up. It is also a pumpkin season and season for delicious pumpkin treats! At first when I moved to US pumpkins weren’t my favorite. For many years, the pumpkin was a highly underestimated vegetable in Poland (well … do you think the pumpkin is a vegetable or fruit?). It was rarely used in the preparation of everyday dishes. Over a dozen years ago, the trend changed – pumpkin soups have become very fashionable. Now we use the orange “giant” for various recipes! I also fall in love with pumpkins […]

This kind of meal (either breakfast or snack) is design to help stabilize sugar levels, as well as boost your energy and help you with focus. When you eat balanced meals, you are not going to have many cravings throughout a day. You are getting a great amount of protein from […]
Rosemary Chicken with Mushroom Glaze
I love crispy chicken skin! I always did, even as a child! I love the crunch before you get a bite of a juicy chicken thigh- it is something worth remembering. Something worth savoring. Crispy skin can take some time. It takes heat, and time, and sufficient air flow. Tips on how to get the crispiest chicken skin: Remove excess moisture: dry the chicken with paper towel or fresh kitchen towel before cooking Put the fat under the skin. This creates a barrier that keeps the skin dry. Bake chicken at 450° with convection on (air flow!) If […]
