GF Cinnamon & Honey Soaked Biscuits

GF Cinnamon & Honey Soaked Biscuits

If I had had time yesterday to participate in the Tuesday Twister (better go add myself now), I would have shared that I made these gluten-free soaked biscuits. They are moist, light, and tasty – even after three days. This is a gluten-free and soaked version of my cinnamon and honey sprouted spelt biscuits.

Our ice cream is finally perfect – a soft serve, yet firm and scoopable ice cream without iciness or soupiness. I’ll give 7 tips for perfect homemade ice cream, and also show that high-quality homemade ice cream is frugal.

Basic Jerky - Not So Tough

Basic Jerky – Not So Tough

As promised, here’s the jerky recipe I’m (loosely) following. I looked around for ground meat jerky recipes after I read that commercial jerky is often made with ground meat. We knew that jerky was pretty soft, and we thought it would work better for the people in my family that have teeth issues… sensitive teeth or braces. (I’m sorry, Dr. Price, but we learned about you too late.)

Beyond Creamed Corn

Beyond Creamed Corn

I had reason to clean my freezer yesterday – it was getting repaired and I had to empty it out. I found 8 ears of corn purchased from the local pastured poultry farm. They grow some wonderful tomatoes and corn, in addition to the poultry. The corn is a non-GMO heritage variety, grown from seeds they save year after year. I bought a few dozen extra ears of corn in the summer, steamed them and froze them for later. Later turned out to be yesterday.

How to Make Water Kefir

How to Make Water Kefir

We love water kefir! I can see why people call it a natural soda. But it is better than soda! Not only does it give you all sorts of probiotic goodness, it is not as sweet and doesn’t leave you with a sickly sweet upset stomach. And with active cultures that can probably last longer than you (with proper care), this is definitely a frugal – not to mention healthy – way to break a soda habit! In this post, I share basic instructions for a first and second fermentation, along with some flavor ideas. And I’m looking for YOUR flavor ideas, so please share!

Basic Raw Soaked Granola

Basic Raw Soaked Granola

I wanted a granola recipe that combined the benefits of soaked grains and soaked nuts. Soaking the grains neutralizes phytic acid, a mineral absorption blocker. Soaking the nuts starts the process of germination, de-activating enzyme inhibitors. A raw granola that does this is a highly nutritious and a great source of digestive enzymes!

Maple Cookies

My friend Julieanne shared this yummy maple sugar cookie recipe with me. I tweaked it to use Rapadura and sprouted flour. We love the wonderful maple flavor, along with the nice crunchy outside and chewy center.

Fruit and Nut Christmas Cookies

Fruit and Nut Christmas Cookies

My mom made these cookies every year at Christmas time, and we loved them! I called her and asked for the recipe so I could tweak it a little bit to share in the Gallery of Christmas Cookies.
