Einkorn Apple Pie (No Sugar)

Einkorn Apple Pie (No Sugar)

Our beloved apple pie for the holiday season… without the sugar.  I have served this up at two holidays pitted against full sugar pies and no one can tell it’s sugar free… and often it is preferred. Feel free to sub the Purecane with Swerve, sucanut, […]

Sour Cream Einkorn Pie Crust

Sour Cream Einkorn Pie Crust

This recipe has evolved over the years from my mom’s pie crust recipe…. It is influenced by the Irish love of cream and the Scottish love of whiskey. The credit for that actually goes to one Cindy McGregor who once told me she put vodka […]

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup

This is an easy tomato soup enriched with bone broth.  I can’t do nightshades so it is not for me, but it is one of those quick meals my family loves served up with gluten free or Einkorn grilled cheese Vegemite sandwiches.  

Sweet Potato Truffle Fries (Hot Chips)

Sweet Potato Truffle Fries (Hot Chips)

When my husband was away in Ireland the first year before we joined him, I used to have a mom date with my cousin MacKenzie.  Sometimes other mom friends came as well, but after a bit she announced to my parents that I needed a […]

Kefir Cream Cheese (And Whey for Culturing)

Kefir Cream Cheese (And Whey for Culturing)

My son loves cream cheese.  When we were living in Ireland the kids were not allowed to go to school with peanut butter in their lunch, which is fair and common here as well, but it left me with a chink in my mom armor […]

Simple Probiotic Oat Granola. (Easy Breakfast!)

Simple Probiotic Oat Granola. (Easy Breakfast!)

This is soooo quick and easy.  Slower when you’re photographing every step but really and truly it only takes a few minutes to put together when you have the coconut yogurt whey or whey from a milk kefir strain.  The probiotics eat up some of […]

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

This is an everyday staple for me.  It is gloriously delicious (if you like coconut) and smooth and thick as greek yogurt.  I use milk kefir grains to culture coconut milk (always BPA free, either Aroy-D or Whole Foods 365 as they work best).  It […]

Cultured Cassava Kefir Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

Cultured Cassava Kefir Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

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 […]

Cultured Einkorn Kefir Pancakes

Cultured Einkorn Kefir Pancakes

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 […]

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus (Cultured, Keto, Vegan)

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus (Cultured, Keto, Vegan)

Alright, my beauties.  As most of you know… cultured hummus is my thing, my jam, my baby.  I was strained to work within a particularly restrictive budget when we lived in Northern Ireland and frankly was overwhelmed and saddened by the lack of exciting food […]
