Winter is coming. With it the prices on a lot of greens have gone up or simply the greens themselves do not last like they do in the summer. Beside that, soups and stews are much more appealing once the weather turns and we can see our breath in the morning air. I used…
Photo above: a double batch with a cast iron loaf and 6 muffins for kidsnacks. I’m not strictly Paleo as you might have noticed. I’m also not vegan. I have vegan loved ones and frankly I adore vegan food but I was farm-raised on eggs, bacon, sausage, and a whole lot of red meat. I…
Here’s one for the win. As a foodie and a mother I know first hand the tightrope walk of balancing waste not, want not with the coup d’é·tat that children manifest at dinner time… with new or “exotic” food. Dinner has become one of the most frustrating times of my life since I had children.…
Above: the gorgeous hot pink hummus topped with organic hempseed for a kick of protein and contrast. Cultured Roasted Beetroot Hummus Okay, so a quick word about fermenting beans and legumes. Generally beans are not beloved by paleo or keto folks because they contain a high level of phytates and lectins, which are believed to…
How I missed Red Onion Chutney when I first made the move away from sugars in my diet. It was sooo good for sprucing up sandwiches, salads and as a garnish to entrees. Once I discovered fermenting though… a whole new world of peppery flavors opened up to me. I love when food bites back.…
Fermented Beetroot (Beets) for salads, mezza style platters and… fermented beetroot hummus! Okay, so I try not to talk to much about non-food stuff but I promise this is related. One of the first Aussie food things I learned to do was to make homemade canned beetroot. I grew up hating the stuff… when I…
My girls and I are hummus fanatics. My husband and son even like it from time to time. But fermented hummus has the added bonus of healthy bacteria and comes with a peppery kick that I love. It is favorite around our home and I love that it will keep in the fridge for months.…
Brownie Batter Hummus It seems my son only likes beans in two forms. One is infused with ham like in grandma’s Bacon Baked Beans and the other is when it is hidden in the form of chocolate. My girls love it too. This recipe came about after my wonderful cousin brought me a sweet little…
Paleo Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins (Nut-Free) These muffins are perfect for autumn. They are healthy, fragrant with fall flavors and a new family favorite. I have been working on it for a bit but we have come to a crossroads on the coconut flour choice. I would say the texture is better with Anthony’s coconut…
(Paleo, Ketogenic, Vegan & Kauffman Compliant) This is my new favorite treat. It produces about an 80% cacao bar, but if you cut out the coconut oil or divide it and the cocoa butter by half it will yield an 85% version. I tried quite a few recipes, and in all honesty they were just…
