95% of grocery store products are junk or poison…let’s talk “E-Numbers” and recent Illinois legislation to ban certain additives.

When I go shopping for food, which is multiple times a week, I always bypass most of the store. I'm looking for organically grown, non-GMO, healthy food from reputable companies. This eliminates 80-90% of everything in the store. The US food supply has grown into a mountain of food additives, fillers, stabilizers, preservatives, and fake …

ABOUT ME

Greetings! I am just a guy who loves to eat good food. I was born and raised in Central Illinois. The name food fury came from two ideas: Me "cooking up a storm" and being pissed about the nefarious side of the food industry. I am the family "chef" and happily do 90% of the …

STOP with the plastic!!!!!

Ok Folks, we need to STAND UP and not only DEMAND but FORCE the grocery giants to stop wrapping, tagging, and bagging everything in plastic. All of these practices utilize "single-use plastics" which are arguably the worst type with regard to plastic leaching into your foods. In 2018, in the U.K., people protested by organizing …

Let’s get back to it!

WOW. Has it really been 8 years since I last "blogged". Looks to be so. That is okay though as my culinary skills have vastly improved as has the number of recipes in my "go-to" list! Sadly, the driver for MANY of my recipes, my mom, passed away last year. She loved to cook and …

Gardening…Do yourself a favor and do it!

Is it time consuming? What isn't? Is it hard work? Sometimes. Is it amazing to simply walk outside when you need an onion, …

The Horse Shoe Sandwich!

This meal is not for the faint of heart. No really, it could quite possibly lead to cardiac arrest...lol. 😉 So, around the early 20th century, a Springfield, Illinois tradition was born. I won't go into a lot of already published details, I will simply mention that the open-faced sandwich, known as the horse shoe, …

COFFEE!!!!

So I worked as a barista in the midwest while going to a random university. I was indifferent about coffee until my brother took me to a local coffee shop. I tried an excellent latte and I was hooked. In fact, I got a job at that coffee shop and learned the skills of both …

Hemp Berry Milkshakes

First of all, Hemp is the single greatest plant on the planet. Yes I capitalized it. Its THAT phenomenal. Hemp has many many many health benefits. Aside from juicing the hemp leaves from my garden last year, I added hemp to my milkshakes as well. This pretty much shows every ingredient in the shake.     …
