I think the first time I tried Chia Pudding was in Anchorage, Alaska. The Middle Way Cafe was the name of the place, I think. Good Coffee too. I’d been there a few times and was attempting to explore the menu instead of just going for the old standby; Reindeer Sausage, Free Range Eggs and

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 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.

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.
