Omnivore originates- fried clams

Tasting table had a recipe for fried clams that look relatively simple-

I used little neck clams- popped them into freezer for 15 minutes then shucked them- ( my dad actually did the shucking- much easier after they are in freezer for a bit) and followed the pretty easy recipe. I used coconut oil for frying and the result was a delicious, crispy, non-greasy clam only improved by a drag through lemony tarter sauce. So good!

Omnivore Originates

Shopping at the local farm stand this time of year is one of life's greatest simple pleasures. Fresh fruit and vegetables, excellent bread and local cheeses are all abundant and require only simple preparation to be delicious!

Omnivore Originates - Beef Stew

Feels like a fall day in Vermont and I was craving a good Sunday dinner before heading back to work after a weeks vacation. Made a beef stew with a Harissa spiced coconut milk and puréed sweet potato base and added carrots and peas and served on yogurt mashed potatoes.  Salad of from my garden beans and tomatoes. Delicious.
