I’m sure everyone has their own version of “7 layer dip.” I got a recipe many years ago from my sister called Mexican 8 Layer Dip. I haven’t made it in a long time. But I made some this morning for our Super Bowl dinner tonight. I think I ended up with 7 layers. I’ll post …
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Our winter cow share sadly comes to an end next week. So I figured I better squeeze in one more batch of ice cream while we have our wonderful raw cream. I wanted to try a new flavor and decided on peanut butter. I love ice cream with peanut butter in it! This turned out …
Beefy Cream Cheese Salsa Dip (Taco Dip/Topping)
I wanted to try one of the dip recipes from Heavenly Homemakers last night. I was debating between the cream cheese salsa dip and the simple chip dip. When I looked at the recipes I realized I couldn’t do the chip dip because I don’t have any sour cream. But I did have leftover taco …
Pancake and Sausage Muffins
For dinner last night I tried another Heavenly Homemaker recipe (and there are more to come:). Ever since Laura posted her pancake and sausage muffin recipe I’ve wanted to try them. Pancakes and sausage are great on their own, but mixed together? Awesome! All three of us loved these. And they are very easy to …
Nuts – How To Eat Them
Nuts, what can I say about nuts? I love them! And they can be part of a very healthy diet. Or they can cause your body major stress. There are a couple different issues with nuts. I’ll start with how they should be prepared. Nuts of all kinds (walnuts, pecans, almonds, peanuts, cashews, etc.) should …
Cinnamon Vanilla Cookies
Yesterday Rebecca said she wanted to bake. And since we had been looking at her new Strawberry Shortcake coloring book she told me she wanted to make strawberry cookies and vanilla cookies. When she got up from her nap the first thing on her agenda was to make the cookies. I quickly started searching for …
Phytates…What Are They And What To Do About Them
One of the things that intrigued me and confused me the most when starting my Real Food journey was the idea of soaking grains. You mean I’m supposed to get my flour wet before using it? As someone that loves to bake that just didn’t make sense to me. And when I first heard about …
Muesli
In my search through my Barefoot Contessa cookbooks this month I came across a recipe for muesli that sounded good and easy. I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas to give us a little variety. This was super easy and really good. It’s a lot like granola, just softer. And I LOVE granola. Unfortunately oats …
Baked Onion Rings
I haven’t made onion rings in a long time, but they sounded good this week. So I pulled out my old recipe. It’s fairly simple and pretty good. I think I got the recipe from an IBS message board years ago. So it’s not a fattening version of onion rings. The next time I make …
Chocolate Ice Cream…Homemade Frosty
I’ve made homemade ice cream quite a few times now. Especially now that we have raw milk and good cream (that I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for). But I’ve never tried chocolate. So yesterday afternoon I experimented and came up with a recipe. I didn’t make a huge batch since …
