  • Cultured Black Bean Dip (Vegan, Paleo Hacked)

    This beauty is one I developed a few years back in Northern Ireland when I was struggling to get my kids to eat what I would call “good” food. They would only eat black beans if they were somehow refried, cooked with a ham bone, or fermented. The latter method is my favorite because fermenting

  • Cultured Green Olive Cauliflower Hummus (Keto, Vegan, AIP)

    Hey my neighbors and friends. It has been a while since I have posted a recipe. That is in part because I have again begun to react to veggies, which is disheartening… but mostly because the state of our nation has been weighing heavily on my heart since the murder of George Floyd was filmed

  • Homeschooling and STEM

    Hey all, It’s been a while since I last posted. My recipe maker has been on the fritz and so I am sorting that out… and I am several recipes behind until that is fixed! Woot. So fun. With my autoimmune disease I go through long periods of really not being able to enjoy creative

    This recipe is based on my Honey Kefir Sandwich Loafand you can make it into sandwich loaves by adapting the instructions for bread from that recipe. You can use either spelt or einkorn flour.
