Lox Pizza: A Celebration of Spring

Lox Pizza

Please welcome Kresha from Nourishing Joy who’s sharing a scrumptious spring pizza! It features lox (salt-cured salmon), fresh lemon, fresh dill, capers, sour cream, and spring onions. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Thin Crust Sourdough Pizza

Mmmmm…. homemade pizza. I start with Erin’s pizza crust, but because we love a thin, crisp crust, I use half as much dough for each pizza. A single dough recipe will then make 2 pizza crusts! (I also use spelt flour, but you can use whole wheat.) The pizza pictured (from last night) is topped with cheese, pastured chicken, and sauteed onions/garlic/mushrooms. Often we add crisp bacon pieces, too.

Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

‘Tis the season for berry picking! When we came home with 34 pound of blueberries, I created these scrumptious blueberry-lemon muffins. You can use blanched almond flour in this recipe if you’re on GAPS, or spelt or wheat flour if you’re not. Enjoy!

Grain-Free Almond Sunny Seed Crackers

Behold the nutty, crisp, and delicious crackers that satisfy a huge want need while we’re on the GAPS diet. B. says they’re peanut-buttery and she is right. They’re nutty, that’s true, but not overly, so they go well with many foods — yogurt cheese or cheese, salmon salad, egg salad, almond butter, and more. We’re really happy to have them around!

Rhubarb-Walnut Muffins with Rhubarb Jam

What to do with rhubarb? Abundant and beautiful, many (including me) pass up using it year to year because we don’t know what to do with it. Here are two GAPS-friendly, honey-sweetened, nourishing recipes to help you use it up — a tart rhubarb jam and moist, rhubarb-walnut muffins.

Grain-Free Almond Bread

Nutty and moist, this almond bread is both delicious and filling. I serve it like cornbread on the side of a meal. The kids and I need only the bottom half of a square spread with butter, while my husband takes two. Before coming up with this recipe, I tried a recipe I found on the internet. That bread was so dry we all got hiccups! Then I noticed the recipe called for no fat whatsoever. Well, that would explain it. ;) So I played around with the ratios of ingredients and of course I added fat — and here is the final recipe. We really love these!

Apple-Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (Soaked)

apple-cinnamon-baked-oatmeal-square

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!

4 No-Wait Sourdough Recipes

Impossible Sourdough Cheese Pie

Usual routine when souring flour: mix dough, let sour for 8 hours, finish dough, cook. Now, that’s not hard. But what if I said you could skip the whole sour-for-at-least-8-hours-thing, yet put the same quality of nourishing food on the table? In other words, without the wait? You can and I just did (say it). Yes, it can be done! Easily. Deliciously. Nourishingly.
