Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

By Wardeh on April 12, 2009

What are your Easter plans? We had none until friends called on Friday and invited us to join a potluck they are hosting. My only responsibility is the salad — which will be a healthy slaw. Just for fun, though (and because we’ve found we can’t live without them), I am going to take a plate full of Regina’s Healthy No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies. I pray that everyone has a wonderful Resurrection Sunday!

What’s Cooking?

By Wardeh on January 15, 2009

As for me and my house (we will serve the Lord), we are still experimenting with sprouted grains. I’m not sure whether to keep trying with the artisan bread in 5 minutes. I think I’ve gotten it as good as it can get with sprouted kamut, spelt and/or emmer. The sprouted spelt works the best [...]

Christmas Menu

By Wardeh on December 22, 2008

As I wrote at my Such Treasures blog, I prefer a low-key Christmas. So does my family. This means we all get on very together.
Still, we will have some good food, albeit not alot of dishes. Here’s what I’m planning.

Heirloom turkey from local farm, B & K Natural Farm. In the last year, [...]

Too Much Food!

By Wardeh on October 2, 2008

How can I be saying that? Well, the freezer, fridge and cupboards are stuffed to the gills! This week, I received my every other month stock up items from a natural food warehouse (not Azure, but there’s plenty of Azure stuff from prior weeks). And we have loads of fruit and veggies from the Farmer’s [...]

Weekend Foods & Treats

By Wardeh on September 29, 2008

The yummiest part of the weekend was making a gluten-free version of Halawa-Halawi. It was so simple I wonder why I didn’t do it before: substitute buckwheat flour for the whole wheat flour. That’s it! (Use the buckwheat flour from de-hulled buckwheat.)
I made the date version of my vanilla-coconut ice cream again. The dates make [...]

What’s Cookin’

By Wardeh on September 15, 2008

We had guests over on Saturday. The husband/dad of their family was helping us plan an addition to our shop/pole barn. The meals turned out so easy because of all the prep cooking I did on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday, I cooked two chickens in the crockpot and a quick soak/cook of a full pot [...]

My Style of Flexible Meal Planning

By Wardeh on August 14, 2008

There are times when I plan out my menu a week at a time. That is usually when we have company coming or a very busy week ahead.
For regular life, I plan out the main meal components just for a few days. Notice I said “main meal components” not “menu”. This is because what works [...]

Haniya's 11th Birthday Menu

Haniya’s 11th Birthday Menu

By Wardeh on August 5, 2008

Naomi and I worked in the kitchen all day on Saturday to prepare Haniya’s birthday dinner. Haniya is a total gourmet and picks very labor intensive food each year. That’s okay though because I love to make it and need an excuse to do it!

Naomi grinding the ingredients for falafel
Naomi was such a big help [...]

Repeat Menu

By Wardeh on July 14, 2008

We ate stuffed grape leaves, quinoa tabouli, and Arabic meatballs again this weekend, serving them to Jeff’s folks. We just never get enough of that food! With the kids gone, there is only Jeff and me to share all the leftovers. I just enjoyed a nice bowl of tabouli for my lunch.
My challenge these next [...]

Beef’s on the Menu

By Wardeh on July 1, 2008

We picked up 1/2 of a local grass-fed beef yesterday. 372 pounds. Of course some of that is bones. It is nice to know where the beef came from and I also know the person who bought the other half. And now we are set for another year. Our next beef we hope to raise [...]
