Remember all my foraging and brewing adventures? Well… I currently have about a pound and a half of buckwheat sprouting for my next GF beer experiment. Fun! But it doesn’t look like anything special yet, so let’s focus on the other works in progress 🙂 About a week ago, I started a ginger bug. You may…

Foraging Fun!
I have always said that I want as much of my yard to make food as possible. I garden a little more every year, and there are wild blackberries in my woods, but I’ve decided to take it a step further and put the wildflower to good use 🙂 My current home brewing kick has…
Millet with Massaged Kale and Roasted Chickpeas
I know, I know… I haven’t posted in a while. My time at home has been mostly spent cleaning, super boring adult stuff like doing taxes, and fun things like watching the chickens learn what their wings are for and playing with the rest of the pets. Oh, and I found a roommate! The spring…
Seed starting has commenced…
I was testing some seeds to see if they were still good, but my new seeds came in the mail yesterday, and this morning I decided to just roll the dice and try planting them. So exciting! Over the last few days, I’ve turned an unused closet into a “greenhouse” of sorts. And by “greenhouse”, I…
It’s garden planning season!
When I was 6 years old, my family moved to the town I lived in until college. My mom immediately got into gardening, and built huge gardens throughout the property. She grew lots of vegetables, herbs, and even flowers (many of which she would dry and keep in the house year round). She mom filled our house…
Dairy Free Hollandaise!
I had some salmon fillets and fresh asparagus in the fridge, and I knew I wanted to eat them for dinner. I often roast some sweet potatoes (or new potatoes) or make risotto to go with it, but I wanted to branch out a bit tonight. Since I’ve been on a poached egg kick, I…
Baked Egg in a Spaghetti Squash Nest
I’ve never known for sure if breakfast is the “most important” meal of the day, but these days it is most certainly my favorite! As I mentioned in my last few posts, I love to repurpose leftover chicken, rice, or whatever else I have in the fridge to make new exciting meals. This morning’s adventure involved a desire…
Miso for Breakfast?
I have no idea where I first read about this, but over the last few years it has become one of my favorite breakfasts. It’s perfect on a chilly morning, or when you feel like a cold is coming on, or whenever you realize you shouldn’t have finished that bottle of wine the night before 😉…
Roast Chicken
… so much for that goal of posting something every day! After spending so long snowed in alone at home, I happily took a few days away from the computer to start to feel like myself again. I spent part of that time repurposing the extra bread I had made. I made french toast one day,…
Completely Guilt-free Mac and Cheez
Nothing says comfort food like a bowl of mac and cheese, right? When I first changed my diet, the thing I was most upset about was the loss of macaroni and cheese from my life. I have tried countless recipes and they rarely filled that cheesy elbow-shaped hole in my heart… and if they came close,…
How I Became Gluten-Free
As I mentioned in the gluten-free pasta post, I gave up gluten over 6 1/2 years ago. This was right before “gluten-free” became a buzzword, or a trendy diet craze. A few years earlier I met a friend with Celiac disease, and I remember saying something along the lines of “I would rather die than live without bread and pasta.” Ohhhh sweet silly young Janine. You were so wrong.
