The address is 17171 Bothell Way Northeast, Seattle, WA 98155. The store is in Lake Forest Park, not far from where I live. I plan to be there if I possibly can. I haven’t seen the book yet because I wanted to buy a copy at the signing, but I know Carolyn, so I am sure it…

AFTER POTATOES
AFTER POTATOES Close your eyes and tell me what you see when I say comfort food. Did you see potatoes? Chances are they were mashed with a pool of butter or gravy on top. Or perhaps the spuds in your mind’s eye were deep-fried, crispy and brown, and cozied up to a little paper cup of ketchup. The USDA reported that potatoes are the most commonly eaten vegetable in America. (http://time.com/2818849/these-are-the-most-popular-foods-in-america/) Tomatoes, another member of the nightshade family, came in a distant second. Our rocky…

If you think hot, crisp waffles, topped with butter and thick, sweet maple syrup are off the table on a low-carb diet, I’ve got good news for you!

PORK MEATBALLS WITH SOUR CREAM GRAVY
< Anything you can do with ground beef you can do with pork and it will be juicier and more tender as well as less expensive. Ground, pasture-raised and heiritage pork make great burgers, meatloaf, and this fantastic meatball dish that tastes like Stroganoff. I served it over tender shredded cabbage “noodles” with sour cream gravy that needs no thickener or starch. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons high-heat cooking fat, such as lard, bacon fat, light olive oil 3/4 cup of chopped onion 1 pound ground pork…
LEMON CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE
LEMON CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE A reader asked if I had a recipe for a lemon cake. Indeed, I do! This is one of my favorites of the many variations on the rich, moist, basic Yellow Cake from Nourished.

PARMESAN ALMOND CRACKERS
These taste like my savory Parmesan Crisps from Nourished, but they are bigger and thicker with a lovely soft crunch.

Ingredients: 3 cups almond flour (750 mL) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (60 mL) Sugar substitute with bulk* to equal 1 tbsp sugar (15 mL) 1 tsp baking powder (5 mL) 1 tsp salt (5 mL) 1 large egg 1/4 cup…
NUT AND SEED CRISPBREAD
Traditional Swedish crispbread is made of rye, wheat, yeast, salt, and water. My grain-free, gluten-free, and yeast-free version is made of nuts, seeds, salt, water, and a little good fat. I made these from a collection of ingredients I had on hand but you could use almost any nut or seed combination and it should still work; the chia and phyllium hold it together. (The last time I made them, I accidentally left out the nuts that I had chopped and set aside. I had…
