Well. One of the saddest food losses I have had in the past year has been kale. I know… “Kale! No kale! Woe is me!” Seriously though… one of my favorite foods and life staples was massaged kale salad with tahini garlic dressing. Gaaaahhhh… If you’re new to my blog… the short of it was
Originally published October 2020 · Fully rebuilt and updated 2026 For years, “gut cleansing” has been framed as a war: kill the bugs, nuke the microbes, power through die-off.

These are a thin, rollable pancake, more like dutch babies or crepes. I have been exploring substitutes for our einkorn to make breakfast a little more everyone friendly and to get a bit more variety in my kids gut biomes. We want to feed those beneficial microbes! I can get away with one of these

Hey friends! As promised, I’m posting some of my family recipes in the absence of my ability to be creative with my own food at the moment… you know… the stuff I can actually eat. This is a thin pancake, much like a cross between crepes and American pancakes. We developed the recipe in the
