Who doesn’t love a taco? And with sweet and salty braised short ribs how could you not? I love short ribs not only because of their affordability but the collagen content can’t be beat. They are perfect for braising and will give you a nice unctuous bite of tender and juicy meat. The acidic and bright quick pickled vegetables are the perfect counter to cut through the fatty richness that is short ribs.
Read MoreThere’s something special about the crisp air and colder days that really brings out the Basic B in me. The minute the leaves start falling and I break out the winter coat I start hoarding hard winter squashes like it is going out of style. Partially because they’re so pretty to look at when you get a variety and use them as fall decorations, but primarily because if you store them well enough ( a wire crate in the garage near the back door is perfect) they will last you until the farmers markets resume in the spring provided you don’t eat them all before then!

Read MoreWhat’s better than toasty bread? I’ll wait…That’s right, not much! These bagels are a hybrid between a traditional NY style bagel you’d find in a Jewish delicatessen and one of those over simplified weight watchers bagels that rose to Pinterest fame years ago. Honestly the closest thing I’ve had to AIP bread I’ve ever had. I’ve tried the mix and found the bagels to be on the flat side, and very doughy…maybe I’m just bad at directions, I dunno. They kind of scratched the itch, but not all the way.
