It’s strawberry season, and we have a bunch in the fridge. And my sourdough starter is getting big. So I figured I’d use them up together. While searching for sourdough muffin recipes I mostly found recipe for blueberry muffins. And most of them are very similar. So I just picked one as my base. Then …
Strawberry Shortcake
I’ve never really been a fan of strawberry shortcake. I don’t like biscuit-type things or the sponge cake kind either. And I don’t like whipped cream. So that leaves the strawberries 😛 And that is what I would eat growing up when my mom made it…just the sweetened strawberries (sometimes on ice cream) while everyone …
Kefir
As I continue on my journey towards better health, I’m trying to find foods that will help heal my gut. One that I’ve read a lot about is kefir. It’s kind of like yogurt (not as thick), but has a lot more good bacteria. Although I’ve done a fair amount of research kefir is still …
Mayonnaise
We are almost out of mayonnaise. So I thought I’d try making some. I found a recipe in Nourishing Traditions. It’s very simple to make. But I’m not sure I like it. I think the flavor of the whey is way too strong. Or maybe it’s that combined with the EVOO. I don’t know. I’ll …
Chicken Broth (Bone Broth)
I’ve been reading so much about bone broth since I started reading Nourishing Traditions. It is packed with nutrients and is so good for digestion. I finally got around to making some on Sunday. I didn’t follow any one recipe/method exactly (based mine on both Nourishing Traditions and Naturally Knoced Up). But I did end …
Sourdough Pancakes
Now that I have a sourdough starter I’m trying to find ways to use it. This morning I made sourdough pancakes for breakfast. YUM!!! They were so good. And so easy. I served them with real butter and local maple syrup and a sprinkling of crispy walnuts. What a great way to start the day. …
Fermented Punch
Keeping with my June goals I’m trying some fermented drinks. These can be more beneficial to your digestive system and overall health than only drinking water. And some of them are so easy to make. So I’m giving it a shot. I’m starting with punch. It’s a Nourishing Traditions recipe. It’s kind of like lemonade (basically …
Sprouted Wheat Berries and Sprouted Wheat Flour (Bulgur Flour)
Over the weekend I made my first attempt at sprouting grains. I used hard white wheat (some winter, some spring). It turned out to be super easy! And went so quickly. I started soaking the berries Saturday night. By Monday mid-morning I had freshly ground sprouted wheat flour and some homemade sprouted whole wheat graham …
Kishk Granola
This morning I made a new batch of granola. Last week I made a batch of soaked granola. I made it the same way I always make granola. But it got a bit overdone. Today I decided to try a “raw” granola…meaning unbaked. I got this recipe from Nourishing Traditions. The main ingredient is kishk …
Nut Butter
I made crispy peanuts this week and used them to make peanut butter. This recipe is from Nourishing Traditions. This is a very healthy treat! Soaked nuts, coconut oil, unrefined sea salt and raw honey…what could be better? I had some on my toasted sourdough bread this morning…YUM!!!! It’s actually quite sweet…you could cut back …
