Sourdough fresh from the oven

I have a confession. I have not always loved sourdough bread. Actually, to be honest, when I lived in the San Francisco bay area, I used to complain that every restaurant served horrible smelly bread and when ordering clam chowder on Pier 39, I’d say, “hold the bread bowl.”

I guess it would be like living in North Carolina, and hating Nascar. Not that I hate Nascar. I just “nothing” Nascar. That’s alright isn’t it?

Or it’s like living in New York and snubbing their bagels, or living in California and disliking avocados. Or visiting Chicago and ordering pizza and asking to “hold the crust.” What about being from London and preferring coffee or being from Kona and preferring tea. It just doesn’t make sense!

Gluten Free Homemade Dog Food

by Nicole April 3, 2013 Gluten Free
I have been making my own dog food for quite some time now. We have two small dogs. Sprinkles a Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix and Daisy a Shih Tzu. Since Daisy has severe allergy problems we have had to put her on a limited ingredient diet. I incorporate my own dog food in amongst their dry kibble, 1/2 dry, 1/2 cooked.

Pumpkin challenge: Large pumpkin vs. small pumpkin.

by Teri November 13, 2012 Make-from-scratch
For once and for all, I want to know – does it really make a difference what size pumpkin you use to make pumpkin puree? I decided to find out for myself, so I bought these beautiful pumpkins you see above.  The tiny orange “pie” pumpkin cost me $2 bought from the grocery store, the same price as a can [...]

by Nicole November 6, 2012 Chocolate
I love these brownies… They satisfy my chocolate cravings without any blood sugar spikes. Even my daughter thinks they are yummy and trust me her vote is hard to achieve sometimes. This is an easy recipe, using fairly basic ingredients. These would also taste great with Cara’s coconut topping recipe. It feels like we’ve had an extension of Summer with [...]

Kefir – Made with Live Kefir Grains

by Nicole October 30, 2012 Drinks
What is kefir? It is a cultured and microbial rich food that helps restore the inner ecology. It contains strains of beneficial yeast  and bacteria (in a symbiotic relationship) that give kefir antibiotic properties. A natural antibiotic –  and it is made from milk! It has a tart refreshing taste that I have come to crave everyday now.
