Oregon Quilt-Maker Chef Key Lime Pie Recipe Reveal

Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Pie

Chef’s Surprise: Universally Known Nelllie & Joe’s Key Lime Pie!

“A few rules on good key lime pie: It should be yellow, not green. It should never have meringue on it, and it should always be in a graham cracker shell. A little whipped cream is allowed. And the obligatory lime garnish is silly, but everyone uses it,” explains Oregonian by way of Key West Florida Quilt Maker Subterra Restauranteur Executive Chef Martin Bleck.

This is the very pie Martin Bleck serves patrons, like me, in his wonderful Willamette Valley wine cellar restaurant.

"You can play around with how sweet or tart you like it, and how much filling you like to use. I usually do the basic recipe times three to fill two pies, but that's all there is to it. And the recipe isn't specific to Nellie & Joe. [It] is just the universal recipe to key lime pie. If you try to fancy it up or add ingredients or make it gourmet you'll just end up with a lesser pie," Martin Bleck, Executive Chef, Subterra Restaurant.

Yummmmah! Quinoa is a great substitute for rice. I love it as a side and it can be dressed up as a main if you feel like adding your favorite cooked meat and/or roasted veggies. It's naturally-gluten free and with eight essential amino acids, it's a complete protein.

Regarding her maker’s journey: the humble Okie by way of Iowa, Missouri, Texas and Illinois, is quick to point out, “I’ve been quilting for years, but I’m always learning new stuff.” [Read more…]

Healing Bone Broth

It’s no myth, chicken broth really is good for the soul, also, the body.  Sheri Haughton, mom of high schooler Jacob and middle schooler Gabriel, has the most beautiful, glowing, WRINKLE-FREE, flawless skin. Could this concoction be Sheri’s fountain of youth? Give it a try and let us know.  Thanks Sheri for this recipe!

“One of my favorite ways to increase collagen consumption is by making a bone broth …” Dr. Josh Axe, certified doctor of natural medicine and clinical nutritionist with a passion to help people get healthy by using food as medicine.

According to Dr. Axe, collagen is good for the health of our skin, hair, gut, nails, teeth and assists in detoxing, boosting metabolism and energy, as well as reduction of cellulite and stretch marks.
