Here is Part 1 of this moist and creamy bread experiment. Enjoy! Basic Information The more and more I bake and cook in our kitchen the more forgetful I am about what I did or how I made a certain dish or bread. I attempted to create a recipe and actually measure some ingredients this [...]

Fresh and Creamy Bread Loaves Hot from the Oven – Part 1

Satisfying a Healthy Craving I have been craving a moist and fluffy, light and airy “melt-in your-mouth” whole grain bread for a week now. We use many different methods of making bread and my experiments will end up in variations of flat bread, pizza, scones, biscuits, crackers, piecrust cookies, mini loaves, breadsticks or something else.

Making Delicious Pizza

I wrote this for The Homeschool Lounge back in September 9, 2009. Though this calls for soaked dough, I have still been using unsoaked grain recipes also as we continue to do research. We’re working on adding the pictures I added to this article. Come back to get a glimpse of those photos and more! [...]

Creating the “Nonpot Pie”

Craving I had been craving a good apple turnover that was not only delicious but also good for me and my family. Since I don’t have much organic hard red winter wheat berries left to make fresh whole wheat flour I decided to use our organic barley grains instead. It is more inexpensive (also see [...]

Baked Oatmeal – Simple, Soaked, and Frugal

Your oats can be stretched further when you decide to bake them instead of making hot cereal. Soaking grains is better for your body and it's easy enough to prepare that you won't be wondering what will be for breakfast.

If you consume cereals of any sort (except homemade) even if it is labeled organic, I highly recommend during some research. We stopped eating cereal more than two years ago in our household. It not only saves you a lot of money but also from eventually weakening your and your family's bodies. One good place to start doing research is by obtaining or borrowing a copy of Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions Cookbook. It has so many references to other studies and books throughout the book and on the sides of the recipes. If you like science I think you'll be amazed to find out the studies done where cereal and other "foods" were involved. You might see a link with humans. Ever since I was little girl I always enjoyed studying about the how's and why's of things and mostly wasn't satisfied when I was told something was good for me. I wanted to know more of the why behind it. I guess that's why I was attracted to physics in college. I love seeing the power of God through the things that He has put on this earth for our betterment, from the amazing properties of cotton, bamboo, silver, food --- you name it. I get excited learning about it because it shows me His awesome power.

Succulent Wild Salmon

I wrote this for The Homeschool Lounge back in February 2010. Why spend over twelve to eighteen dollars paying for a small main entree of salmon when you can spend that money feeding four people close to the same thing? Resist the urge to eat out and drop by your local fish store instead. Get [...]

Meals and Food Combinations: Organic Jasmine Rice with Stir Fry Vegetables, Scrambled Eggs and Bacon

Franicia — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:53:42 +0000

I spotted one of our breakfast or brunch meals from August 2010 that had organic jasmine rice, organic stir fry vegetables, organic scrambled eggs, and organic bacon. If I could do this dish all over again, I would most likely use organic brown rice (basmati preferably) and use a different meat. Find out more about [...]

Organic Stir Fry Vegetables

Franicia — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:44:08 +0000

This is quick and easy vegetable dish to make. I sliced organic red onions, celery, and baby bok choy all about the same width and thickness and sautéing them in a cast iron skillet, using organic extra virgin coconut oil as my cooking fat. Season with good quality sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. [...]

Bread Photos: Fresh Round Bread Loaves

These nice round loaves of bread were made using organic whole grains that were freshly milled in our home using our Country Living Grain Mill. They were hand mixed, hand formed, and baked in round stoneware from Pampered Chef. Since spelt is our favorite grain to use in baking and bread-type foods, we most likely [...]

Strawberry Banana Muffins

I remember writing a post about this photo about a few years ago when we used to post our recipes on another website of ours. I am trying to locate it. If it is still available, I look forward to posting what was written about it. I remember using freshly mashed ripened bananas for this [...]
