I turned 38 yesterday. It’s not a hallmark birthday in any way but I witnessed a humorous interpretation of “Dance of Doom” from the Lego Ninjago Movie performed by 3-7 year olds wearing giftwrap, and spent a couple days with my family down the beautiful Oregon Coast, and that is nothing to sneeze at. Thank…
Fermented Turnips I did this recipe in a 1 Liter Kilner swing top canning jar but you can adjust proportions to your liking. Fermenting lids and weights are helpful but you can do this with stainless steel, plastic lids or a swing top like this one as it allows air out but not in. In…
No Sugar, Chocolate, Nut-free, Keto-Cycling Yields 1x 8″ round cake, 2x 5″ round cakes or 16 cupcakes. This cake was first introduced to me in Scotland and served up by a lanky Swedish man. I’m fairly certain the originator of the recipe was Nigella Lawson though, at least she is who I consulted for years…
This is a recipe I have been anticipating for a couple of years now. There are a couple ways to do this. I would consider this the trickier but as I have yet to try the other method we will go with it. Let’s call this the classical method. Enter the humble aubergine. Eggplant, for…
(Paleo, Keto maintenance, Vegan) Hullo! Here we are with the chocolate again! I know what you’re thinking… this lady likes her chocolate. Well, yes I do. I am not ashamed. I like it dark and bittersweet and most store bought chocolates under 72% used to have me trying to secretly spit into a napkin without…
Recently I was up in Washington visiting one of my oldest friends. No, she’s not old. Well she’s my age so that’s debatable I guess. We were best friends in High School and have this eerily coincidental relationship. No mind reading but we used to show up to school in the same outfit without planning…
We love coconut flour around here. It is not an inflammation causing grain and as you only use about 1/4 to 1/3 cup compared to standard flour or almond flour it is relatively inexpensive. My favorite Is Bob’s Red Mill but I have been known to use BetterBody Foodst as well because frankly it’s cheap…
Hey foodie friends, Sorry I have been absent. My littlest has required much attention of late. We have had the winter of winters in terms of illness here and she is my one who is prone to pneumonia whenever anything as silly as a cold moves through the house. She is appalled by most things…
I adore baba ghanoush. Actually I adore MY baba ghanoush. Which I always begin by smoking the tar out of a pile of eggplant. I met this vegetable on a pizza in the south of France and it was called an aubergine, so forgive me if I keep it that way. It sounds WAY more…
One of my first introductions to the official cultured food world was Milk Kefir (pronounced “Keh-pheer”). I was reading Nourishing Traditions in an search for help with some of my health issues. Long story short… I have had wheat allergies and sugar sensitivity all my life but didn’t know it. We didn’t have allergies in…
