New York Style Einkorn Sourdough Pizza Crust

New York Style Einkorn Sourdough Pizza Crust

I would love to say this is my original pizza crust recipe but the truth is it has evolved with flours, three overseas moves and the constant reminder of biting into a slice of Sal’s pizza on a trip to my Dad’s home town in […]

Italian Einkorn Sourdough Pizza (With Kefir)

Italian Einkorn Sourdough Pizza (With Kefir)

This post is a LONG time coming for some people.  I don’t really post a lot of my grain recipes because I don’t eat grains.  But I have had friends ask for this often enough that I thought I should include it in my recipes.  […]

Sweet Potato Kefir Rolls (Ancient Grains, Nut-Free)

Sweet Potato Kefir Rolls (Ancient Grains, Nut-Free)

This recipe is based on my Honey Kefir Sandwich Loaf and you can make it into sandwich loaves by adapting the instructions for bread from that recipe.   You can use either spelt or einkorn flour.  I choose fine ground rather than whole grains because the hull […]

Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies (keto, paleo, vegan)

Alright my friends.  This is a recipe that I have posted before but it has undergone a subtle but very important change.  If I’m honest I was literally terrified to post it at first because I have imagined in my loopy introverted world that someone […]

Cultured Beetroot Cauliflower Hummus

Cultured Beetroot Cauliflower Hummus

That’s a mouthful! But seriously it is a tasty mouthful. So… confession. I made this MONTHS ago but it was right about when I was becoming allergic to everything. It tasted so so good but then I couldn’t eat much. I’m about to give the […]

Fermented Red Sauce (Nightshade-Free Ketchup)

Cultured Coconut “Sourdough” Keto Bread

Cultured Coconut “Sourdough” Keto Bread

Well it’s official. Actually it has been official for over a month but being the introverted lady that I am I have only recently felt ready to share. After a battery of blood tests I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease, which is actually quite […]

Cultured “Sourdough” Keto Bread

Cultured “Sourdough” Keto Bread

Of late I have been having a lot of inflammatory and pain issues. Nuts and nightshades being the main culprits. It is always better if they are soaked & dried (nuts) or fermented (both). The Dr. Bergs won me over with their cauliflower pizza crust… […]

Probiotic Granola. Really.

Probiotic Granola. Really.

For this day of remembrance and rest I am using one of my many recipes I haven’t gotten around to posting.  It is appropriate… a bit if mixing in the morning and leave it out all day and dry it overnight.  Tasty.  Nutritious.  It feels […]

Cultured Kefir Guacamole (keto with vegan and paleo options)

Cultured Kefir Guacamole (keto with vegan and paleo options)

Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend! Guacamole is about the only way my husband and children like their avocados. Conveniently, it is also an easy way for me to sneak live cultures into their food and at the same time preserve the green of […]
