Delicious meals with the best cuts so you can look & feel younger
Deep-fried gizzards and livers have had a special place in my heart for several years, but only recently did I finally recreate them in my kitchen! I had seen a sign advertising this Southern specialty and always wanted to try them. Recently, one of my farmers sent the recipe and another farmer had a windfall of chicken offal available for me. Serendipitously, I was able to make this recipe a couple of times in the span of a few weeks to tweak and perfect it!…
Are you afraid that beef liver is too strong or too minerally and you aren’t sure what to do with it? Are you due for some self-love today? Do you have a beautiful package of grass-fed, grass-finished liver looking back at you every time you open your freezer? If so, now’s the time to start defrosting it. If not, call your best farmer and get some. Beef liver gets an A+ in nutrient-density. And Chocolate Chili Beef Liver Pate has all the right seasonings to keep you coming back for more. …
We approached this recipe as an answer to a recent interest in wizardry and potions. However, these Steak and Kidney Tartlets had a really nice filling and a different flavor profile than my previous Steak and Kidney Pie post. Less herbs and veg, more meaty, and more umami with the Worcestershire and tomato paste. Alas, I cheated on the pastry crust; I’m not accustomed to taking these kinds of shortcuts, but the kids loved the novelty along with our wizardry theme….
We were inspired to make shawarma recently and, as usual, replaced the traditional with the offal. The prep for the meal was simple and the meat cooked quickly with perfect seasonings. Break up any mid-winter blues with this bright and delicious Offal Shawarma with Liver and Kidney! (Or any organs you have on hand. 🙂 …
Everyone loves pie! Blueberry pie. Pizza pie. Steak and kidney pie. Chicken pot pie! It’s not as ‘boring’ as some of the other foods in our home. My daughter gets to bake, again. Meanwhile, I strongly believe we must continue to minimize the ‘displacing foods of modern commerce.’ Offally Creamy and Delicious Chicken Pot Pie is a hearty and nourishing meal to please all of us….
Thai Chicken with Basil (and Organs!) was inspired by a recent discovery of a chicken and organ blend from Force of Nature. Any ground meat dish deserves to have some organs added. It’s a way to boost nutrient-density in our favorite meals. It’s easy to do by hand, but once I discovered these blends, I’ve incorporated them into many of our meals….
Pork Tongue Stir-Fry was inspired during a homeschool block on Ancient China with my 6th grader and reminiscing about my own experiences. My dad loved Chinese food (as American as it may have been) and my mom took Chinese cooking classes when I was young. I remember the dragon from Chinese New Year’s parades in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and the inside of urban markets where she would scour for ingredients….
Fall Minestrone with Sweetbreads feels right on time. Leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter and a chill in the air means staying home is starting to feel so cozy again.Â
This recipe is one of my favorites and precedes this blog by a few years. It made an appearance on early lists… Me wondering if I could or would start this site. This week offallygoodcooking celebrates it’s fourth birthday. Hooray!  Â

Duck tongue stir-fry requires pulling that little cartilage piece right out from from the tongue. (See below.) That tongue is left with nothing to say. Meanwhile, the more space I have in my life, I also find myself having less to say. Except to thank all the people and places woven into the tapestry of my life and heart….
Chicken Livers with Peaches and Sour Cream is a celebration! It’s a meal to celebrate and nourish this physical body that carries me through my days. We only get one body in our time here and it’s up to us to take care. To create habits that will compound favorably over time. I’m loving this summertime meal that has a bright glow and good vibes. Allow wellness!…
