A reader recently commented on this post, that she would like to know what I eat every day. Well, it varies wildly from day to day so I decided to pick a day and make a food journal with photos of everything (or almost everything) I ate that day. I chose Leap Day (yesterday). I post recipes quite often but have never done a food journal which is funny because I follow a lot of bloggers who do. For whatever reason I like to know what you had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ;) Anyway, I am … [Read more...]
Grain Free Coconut Pancakes

This yogurt is a raw food dish and it is nice for an occasional treat. I started by cracking three of them open. Actually my husband did that part. He drained the coconut water as he opened them and reserved it in a bowl. … [Read more...]
How to Make Kefir
If you have been around any traditional foods / nourishing traditions enthusiasts then no doubt you have heard them sing the praises of Kefir. What exactly is it though and how do you make it at home? Kefir grains are actually a gelatinous grouping of bacteria and yeasts that grow during the process of fermentation.
