I cut way down on bread. And I try to eat more organic produce, + free-range, grass-fed, wild-caught, yada yada… But… sometimes I just need CHOCOLATE! I can keep from sabotaging my health but making a quick drink out of this stuff. (Or eating as-is.)
Kombucha brewing should be easy, which you realize after you’ve done it awhile, seeing it survive many adverse conditions! Now I just brew sweet tea right in a pre-warmed canning jar (cheap kind might break). Stir in last batch o’ kombucha, decant right into a bottle- 1st & last ferment in one! (It still takes 3-4 weeks to finish, but skips a step 🙂 )
An easy way to make flavorful “preserved Meyer lemons”, only easy-style! I just pureed the lemon peel in my Vitamix with some salt, added extra virgin olive oil. Delicious, on so many things!
Sweet potatoes are low-glycemic- so HEALTHY! Add roasted peppers (or cheat & use organic paprika), plus caramelized onion. Puree with a touch of olive oil…SO GOOD.
We got to craving a new soup at The New Deli, and came up with this. Joanna, our pregnant post-employee, HAD to get this recipe, so we thought we’d share with you too!
Even my skeptical son enjoyed these. A mix of frozen strawberries, coconut, and honey, dipped in bittersweet chocolate (just coconut oil, butter, honey, and cocoa powder). So good!
I’ve tried several methods of pomegranate-seeding. The mash-in-bucket method’s all right, but the underwater method’s my favorite. Either way, it’s an act of love!
We like to make Lentil Vegetable Soup when we’ve made a new batch of tomato sauce- that plus veggies & a dash of liquid smoke & brown sugar make for a great soup!
Eggplant’s one of the “cleaner” veggies, so I don’t necessarily buy it organic. It’s perfect in this recipe; add the cooked mix to omelets, salads, etc. YUM!
You do save your chicken carcass to make yummy stock out of, right? (It’s so healthy, too). Also- did you know this easy way to make raspberry vinegar?! (Just use mashed raspberries & white vinegar.)
