You can do this with 2 quart masons or a 2 Liter swing top and some fermenting lids and weights. I have taken to pouring a bit of avocado or olive oil on top of my vegetables to help keep out the bacteria. The flavor is delicate and void of the bitterness I usually find…
I came up with this recipe in an attempt to veer from my standard potluck fare of chips and salsa. I took it to my first potluck at our new church. I got a bit of the mick taken out of me by our pastor when he caught me snapping a photo of it. “You…
Who loves fennel?! I do (obviously) and so does my husband and a handful of other folks I’ve met but for the most part when I explain that the key vegetable that goes into one of my favorite salads is a licorice tasting bulb I sometimes get funny looks. One must taste to believe. This…
Happy Cinco De Mayo Folks! This is a wicked addictive dressing (or dip, if you make it thicker) and perfectly quick and tasty to whip up today for your celebrations. Give it a go… you won’t regret it. Ingredients: 1/2 cup stirred tahini 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (I used key limes) 1/4 cup…

Fermented Yellow Squash Hummus I love hummus. I know that’s a strong word but it really is one of my favorite foods. Lately though I have been dealing with some inflammation issues and have gone a mostly plant based keto to help manage it. I’ve tried making keto hummus before but wasn’t particularly impressed with…
I have been fiddling around a lot with baked goods of late, to the chagrin of my insides, I think. I have had a few Fennel recipes in the works but this week I am posting an adaptation of Sorella’s Fermented Fennel, which is featured in many of the London based Italian Bistro’s entrees. My…
No Sugar, Paleo, Chocolate, Espresso, Nut-free, Keto-Cycling Protein Muffins This is a recipe I have been working on for months, trying to come up with a guilt-free antioxidant and protein rich breakfast muffin. It came out of the time of year when the greens do not last long and so my go-to make ahead summer…
