Vickie turned me on to a new baking product the other day that has me pretty excited. I sort of pride myself on my baking prowess and my made by hand philosophy, so I don’t usually hang out in the pre-mix aisle at the market. She found an exceptional pancake mix that has no preservatives.

It was my Birthday the other day and Vickie and I were knocking around ideas for a feast. I got to thinking about my youth and a favorite meal back when I was a kid in Central Illinois, the Hog Capital of the World. Iowans claim that title too and I’m okay with that. In

Pita Chips and Hummus are very close to the top of our snacking list. I’ve even been known to make an entire meal of them. But more often than not it was a last minute thought, as we browsed the grocery store aisles. That changed recently as I’ve become quite the connoisseur and collector of

“A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.” — Abraham Maslow Maslow wrote “A Theory of Human Motivation.” An interesting, important and classic, psychological theory that examines the hierarchy of human need. The paper is so important, we keep a copy readily available here at 3mph. Food is at the top of the physiological

“It isn’t magic, but who’s never felt better after a cookie?” ― Rosie Pease Who doesn’t love cookies? The thing is, almost every pre-pack cookie in the Great Wide World is loaded with sugar and a variety of other genetically modified components that just aren’t healthy for you. Even homemade cookies are filled with one sweetening agent

Our sourdough starter had another birthday recently and to celebrate, we tried something new. A long fermentation “Sourdough-Potato Bread.” I love the color, flavor and texture of potato bread but had never tried it with sourdough, so I went sniffing around the WWW, looking for ideas. Potato adds a depth of flavor to bread that

3mph is about slowing down and embracing the art of living. Food is an important part of that. We enjoy imagining and creating beautiful, artistic, fresh food. Pizza is high art at 3mph. Whether it’s a big thick, sourdough pie, slathered in garden fresh tomato sauce or a thin, sparsely decorated, tavern cut; we love

There’s something special about Tuna & Noodles. I’m not sure what but it’s been a go-to meal for my various adventures for as long as I can remember. The ingredients are easy to keep, prep and cook. I’ve created a half dozen different ways to prepare it while backpacking. Decades ago, before I began to

“You are what you eat” ~ Victor Lindlahr Is there anything in life, more wonderful than food? Next to clean air and water it’s the most important thing for our survival too but who sits down over a nice glass of Cabernet or Malbec to enjoy air and water? Food can be a beautiful celebration
New studies and research continue to show that your natural immune system is “the real warrior” against the hyper-contagious COVID-19 and the dreaded Delta. A much better choice than a shot or two or three of an mRNA cocktail. At least thirteen times more efficient than the Pfizer shot according to a study in Israel.
Many good vegetables gave their lives today, so the two-leggeds here, at 3MPH could enjoy, really fresh food. My mother is at the Cottage, visiting from Denver for a couple weeks and I’m having fun sharing the bounty of our garden with her. Fresh garden vegetables just make every meal better, way better. Ironically, when
I love summer. The garden has put plenty of food on the table and in the freezer, already. Now the real fun begins, as we enter the heart of garden, harvest season. I can’t wait for homegrown Marinara and Pico de Gallo. I like to work in the garden early in the morning, while it’s
