I only use butter, coconut oil, avocado oil or grapeseed oil in my recipes. Not to mention that I don’t eat anything with nitrates, hormones, antibiotics or hydrogenated oils. I don’t know if you read labels but I have to read every label that I put in my shopping cart. I can’t believe how many things have sugar or cane sugar in them. I have done a lot of research and experiments to come up with decadent, tasty and healthy recipes. When my friends told me to write a blog I didn’t think anyone would read it. Thanks for lifting me up and making my day.
For those of you out there who are going through a rough patch or a hard day just know that I am rooting for you. I am so glad you are in the world. I know I am not the only one. Hang in there. I believe most people would offer to help others if they knew that they needed help. Yes, there are bad people in the world but I believe good people far outweigh the bad.
I recently asked my husband what to make for dinner. He responded with “I don’t know.” But how about some sort of roulade. We went shopping at Costco and the tri-tip looked really good. So we bought a tri-tip roast. The idea of a roulade started going through my mind. I thought onions, garlic and carrots sounded like a yummy filling. The vinegar added a little sour note while the cream adds a sweet and creamy texture. I am salivating writing this blog post. The memory of this dish reminds me of how yummy this dish was.
