6 Tips to Prevent “Sour” Sourdough
April 26, 2011 By 50 Comments
The most common complaint with sourdough foods is that the more choosy of our family members don’t care for a sour flavor. Did you know that sourdough does not have to be sour? These six tips will help you ensure that your sourdough baked goods are pleasantly tangy, rather than overly sour — or perhaps not sour at all!
Free Video: Divvying Up The Morning Milk
April 25, 2011 By 33 Comments
Every morning, I’ve got big choices to make: what to do with the 2-1/2 to 3+ gallons of raw Jersey milk I bring in from the barn. With limited refrigerator space, most of the milk’s gotta be turned into something almost right away. Last week I turned on the video camera while splitting up one morning’s milk — so I could show you what I did with it. Not every day is the same, but I’d say this one was fairly typical.

Apple-Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (Soaked)
April 18, 2011 By 54 Comments
We can eat oatmeal year-round, but I have to say that baked oatmeal definitely crosses seasons. You can eat it hot or cold, as breakfast, snack or lunch — and with eggs and milk baked in, you’ve got a high-quality protein boost. When my husband goes out of town (thankfully not often) I send along a tray of this and a jar of raw milk for his breakfasts on the road. This is our apple-cinnamon baked oatmeal, and I also make a yummy 5-spice variation!
Lacto-Fermented Hummus
April 15, 2011 By 37 Comments
Yesterday, I made our family’s traditional hummus — a recipe handed down from my grandmother and namesake, Tata Wardeh, to my mother and then to me. However, there was a difference: this time I lacto-fermented it. Yeah, yeah, by now you know that I try to ferment just about everything.
