I don’t know about you, but I have cucumbers coming out of my ears this year. Not only are they producing profusely in my garden, but every week they arrive in our CSA box as well. And trust me, I’m not complaining! I love slicing fresh cucumbers and dipping them in hummus or running them […]
I have no idea where the name Shaboo Shaboo came from. A good friend shared this recipe with me years ago and even she doesn’t know who came up with the moniker. All I know is this is one of my and my husband’s absolute favorite go-to meals. We originally made it with brown rice […]
So I’m writing this post as I’m in the middle of a 3 week Daniel fast / juice fast / herbal detox. Today marks Day 1 of our three day raw fruits & veggies / juice fast portion. And while I’m doing well and loving all the fresh juice made from my brand new Champion […]
It was early in the evening. I was fixing dinner and checking the contents of my refrigerator. I saw cream from my raw milk that needed to be used. I already had a batch of sour cream. I wanted to whip it. And whip it good. So whip it I did. With a bit of […]
You guys. If you haven’t heard already (via Facebook or Twitter or my last Rear View Mirror post), I’m stoked to now be a part of the Modern Alternative Kitchen team! My very first post has gone live on day 3 of the site’s official launch. I’m such a proud mama (tear . . . […]
Mango. Goat cheese. Say no more. I’m sold. Take me to it and let me at it! I based this salad off a couple recipes I found on Pinterest, making a few additions, subtractions, and substitutions and I have to say I’m rather pleased with the results. Seeing as I ate almost the whole bowl […]
There truly may not be anything better than a warm, rich, ooey-gooey, chocolate brownie. Right out of the oven. Served with a tall, cold glass of fresh, raw milk. * swoon * It’s the simple things in life, huh? Of course, if you know what all that sugar does in your body, you don’t eat […]
Does anyone else ever feel like they are drowning in zucchini in the summer? I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that I cannot give away my abundance of zucchini fast enough this time of year! I just shared a presentation on local food as part of the Vintage Remedies 2012 Virtual […]
Scorching hot summer weather calls for a cold glass of tea or lemonade. Last week I shared an incredibly easy and healthy recipe for Strawberry Lemonade. A few weeks before that, it was Rosemary Lemonade. Today, I’m shifting gears slightly and looking at iced tea. Iced tea with plums and thyme, to be exact. I […]
I’m not lying. This could quite possibly be the most delicious, easiest to make, healthiest strawberry lemonade. Ever. Apparently I’m on a lemonade roll these days. (And if you haven’t made my Rosemary Lemonade yet, what in the world are you waiting for? There’s no refined sugar and it is ohmygoodness amazing.) But seriously, what […]
Forget the tiny umbrella. Throw a sprig of rosemary in my lemonade and it is summertime, baby! This Rosemary Lemonade (made without any refined sugar!) is epic. Best spring or summertime drink I’ve found. I’ve become more and more a fan of the sweet and savory combination as of late. It started with these Lemon […]
