It’s been a while since I’ve actually posted a recipe. Things have been slightly crazy here lately. So there hasn’t been much new…or much of anything at all going on in my kitchen. But I’m getting back into the swing of things now that I’m not stuck on the couch all day. This is actually something …
Water Kefir
A little while back I started making my own dairy kefir. I’m doing whatever I can to get my gut healthy and repopulated with good bacteria. Kefir is a great way to do that. A wonderful probiotic. I eat dairy kefir every day. Then my SIL tried water kefir. I had heard of that, but …
Sourdough Crackers
I’m always looking for new ways to use my sourdough starter. A while back I came across a recipe for sourdough crackers that I knew I had to try. We are out of homemade crackers right now. And I need some for our dinner tonight. So I finally gave these a try. I got the …
Carob Peanut Butter
Ever since we went to Traverse City last summer and tasted a variety of nut butters I’ve wanted to experiment with making my own. Now that I’ve gotten good at all the basic nut butters I decided to try something new. Yesterday I made carob peanut butter. I just used the carob sauce I made …
Sloppy Lentils
A couple weeks ago my SIL posted a recipe for sloppy lentils. It sounded so good. And it was a perfect meal for us since I’m trying to add more lentils into our diet (so healthy and great for fertility). I tried it last night. Yum!!! All 3 of us loved it. My original plan was …
Carob Sauce
I made my 2nd carob recipe yesterday…carob sauce. With all of this good homemade ice cream and some good cream to use up it was the perfect fit. Plus it was something simple for Rebecca to help with. This was very easy to make. And tastes so good!!! We all had some on ice cream …
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Last night for dinner I made pesto pizza with freshly made basil walnut pesto (our own basil and crispy walnuts). I love making pizza and have a good dough recipe. But last night I wanted to try something easier. I had seen a recipe on Heavenly Homemakers a while back for a no yeast/no rise …
Mayonnaise
A few weeks ago I tried making mayonnaise. It did not turn out well. I couldn’t eat it. I had to toss it. I did a little searching and found a link for a different recipe on The Nourishing Gourmet. It had good reviews, so I tried it today. Turned out much better! I’ll probably …
Real Fruit Popsicles
This isn’t much of a recipe, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Just a fun, healthy summer treat. I cut up a whole watermelon the other day. And realized we could never eat that much watermelon before it goes bad. Sometimes when I have a lot I freeze it. I love to eat it frozen. …
Fermented Pickled Cucumbers
My latest experiment in fermentation is pickled cucumbers. These sound pretty safe 🙂 I assume they’ll just taste like dill pickles. They are very easy to make. I got 6 pickling cucumbers at the farmer’s market this week. 4 whole cucmbers fit in a quart jar. I sliced the other 2 and put them in …
