This homemade canned chili sauce goes perfectly with roast beef and tastes so good you’ll want to eat it plain! This is a recipe from my mother-in-law for canned chili sauce. It is a great way to use late August produce – tomatoes, peppers and onions. The chili sauce can be served alongside roast beef …
Cereal…Why It’s Not As Healthy As You Think…Actually Not Healthy At All
Time to kick off my healthy lifestyle series. I’ll start with something near and dear to me…my beloved cereal đ I used to be the cereal queen. I ate it EVERY day for breakfast for years. From college to just a few months ago I’d say there were only a few days I didn’t have …
Sourdough Granola Muffins
I haven’t used my sourdough in a few weeks, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to make with it before it grew too much. Today I was trying to come up with an easy baking project that my daughter and I could do that would also use up a really ripe banana I had. …
Grain Free Granola (dairy free, egg free, GAPS-legal)
I’ve been cutting back on grains lately to see how that impacts my gut and my fertility. And I recently came across a recipe on Heartland Renaissance for grain free granola. I just finished off my last batch of granola the other day, so it’s time to restock. It helped that I have crispy pecans, walnuts, …
Whole Wheat Crackers
Since we’re “taking it easy” around here I decided to do some baking with Rebecca today. Making crackers was one of my monthly goals, so I went with that. Laura on Heavenly Homemakers has a super simple recipe. Only a few ingredients, easy to do with kids, quick, not much mess. Just what I like. And …
Sauerkraut
Last week I made my first batch of sauerkraut. I finally got around to tasting it today đ Very good! It tastes like pickles to me. I just used the basic recipe in Nourishing Traditions. I used purple cabbage. Very simple (aside from a good arm workout pounding cabbage for 10 min.). Very good. And so great …
Crispy Pumpkin Seeds
I’ve made plenty of crispy nuts, but yesterday I did my first batch of seeds. I did pumpkin seeds. Yum!!! So salty and crunchy. A great, healthy snack. And a great add in for homemade granola. Same process for making crispy nuts, just different ratios. Crispy Pumpkin Seeds 4 cups of raw, hulled pumpkin seeds2Â Tbsp. …
Bacon Bowls
Last recipe post for a little bit. We’re heading out tomorrow morning. So today will be church and packing…no new baking/cooking. The last couple days I’ve been trying to do simple meals, use up a few things (like eggs) and not create a bunch of leftovers. I thought it was a perfect chance to try making bacon …
Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I’m trying to use up the perishable food in our fridge before we leave for vacation. And that includes some plain yogurt. Yesterday morning I made a batch of blueberry sourdough muffins. And Justin asked if I was going to make “regular” blueberry muffins. So I did a search for blueberry muffins that use yogurt …
Sweet Potaote (Veggie) Chips
I’ve been wanting to make some healthier non-sweet snacks. And continue to increase my veggie intake. So I decided to start experimenting with veggie chips. So far I’ve only tried making them in my dehydrator. I made zucchini chips earlier this week (which I forgot to take a picture of). They turned out well. Yesterday I …
