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 […]
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 […]
I ate my first orange chocolate chip muffin in New Zealand. It was made by one of our lovely hosts in Mangapai where we slept in an old boat and pooped in a long drop toilet. (But that was probably too much information for you in a post about muffins, huh?) I must have eaten […]
Rich, moist carrot cake. Extra creamy cream cheese icing. A decadent dessert chock full of pineapple, walnuts, raisins, and carrots. I mean whoa - a dessert full of veggies and fruit and healthy things! Even the sweetener is mostly healthy! No refined sugar here at all my friends. You might remember I posted this recipe […]
These are some chocolate-y cookies. (Chocolate lovers everywhere commence a chorus of cheers!) And get this-these cookies are healthy. Ok, at least semi-healthy. Let’s just say that these cookies are an indulgence you don’t have to feel guilty about. No refined sugar for cancer cells in your body to feed off of-they’re sweetened with enzyme-rich honey. […]
After I finished weeding in the garden and building a bed border from old bricks, I pulled a bright yellow lemon from the tree by the patio. Then I walked over to the herbs and snipped off a small piece of fresh rosemary. Honey from the South Island of New Zealand was brought out of […]
This is one of the easiest desserts to throw together in the history of desserts. Well, ok, maybe not the easiest. But it requires very little prep and tastes like you slaved over a hot stove for hours. I personally figure that any recipe with fruit can also be eaten for breakfast. Right? I won’t […]
I think I missed the boat on this one. I know October was prime time for pumpkin recipes. But in an effort to defy social convention for once in my life (or maybe just adhere to the ‘better late than never’ principle), I wanted to share these incredible pumpkin bars. Incidentally, pumpkin is also great […]
Today is my husband’s birthday. {Happy Birthday love!} It’s been a week long celebration with family, friends, and cake. Good cake. No, I mean really good cake. What I like to call the Ultimate (at least Semi-Healthy) Carrot Cake. I made this same recipe for his birthday last year and a repeat occurrence was requested […]
What could possibly be better than a warm apple crisp, fragrant and steaming, fresh out of the oven? I would vote a raw apple crisp pulled straight out of the fridge! Ok, so maybe we are comparing apples and oranges here (or at least hot apples to cold ones…). You really can’t compare much to […]
I have a weakness for muffins. You might have noticed, what with my posts on Banana Chocolate Chip muffins & Carrot Blueberry Muffins. These Orange Pomegranate Chocolate Chip muffins were definitely a blog-worthy success! The coming of fall means pomegranates appear in the grocery store. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see them! I […]
