"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"

"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"

June’s Chili Con Grass-Fed CarneOriginal recipe by C. Lair 2009.
This is an adaption of my mom’s recipe coupled with instructions from The Joy of Cooking. When it starts to get chilly outside, of bowl of warm chili is so welcome. Choose grass-fed beef from your local rancher.
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon or more sea salt
˝ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 dried chipotle chili
1 teaspoon sugar
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 15-ounce can kidney beans
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Sauté the onion and garlic in the fat until onion is translucent. Add the meat, break into chunks and sauté until the meat is browned.
Add salt, spices and sugar and stir. Then add tomatoes, beans and tomato sauce. Cover and simmer about 1 hour or longer. The longer it cooks, the thicker it becomes.
Garnish with shredded cheese or chopped onion if desired.
Preparation time: 1.5 hours
Makes 8 servings

We checked the book Feeding the Whole Athlete out of the local library. We made a number of recipes from the book including the one for oatmeal cookies. We are hoping we win a copy of the Feeding the Whole Athlete, but, in the meantime, are hoping that Cynthia will post her recipe for oatmeal cookies on the recipe file of Cookus Interruptus- the cookies were great!
