Sourdough Bread Starter Guide

Last year I dedicated myself to learning the art of sourdough and now I bake bread almost weekly! It has a bit of a learning curve and when I got started I was overwhelmed with the amount of information. I didn’t know where to start! My goal with this blog post is to provide you with step-by-step instructions and resources to get you started with baking sourdough bread as quickly as possible. Step 1: Starter The first thing you’ll need is a sourdough starter. This is a living, breathing organism that gives your bread rise, flavor, and the signature…

Oven Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil

I love having roasted garlic on hand. You’ll always find this kitchen staple in my fridge, right next to the sourdough starter 🙂 Baking the garlic in olive oil yields a tender, roasted clove plus you get delicious infused olive oil. It’s easy to grab and adds a delicate garlic flavor to every dish. Win win! Print Oven Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil The hardest part about this recipe is peeling the garlic. I recommend smashing the garlic with something sturdy (rolling pin, meat mallet, or back of thick knife) then removing the outer…

Ground chicken and pork make the best homemade sausage! Free of preservatives, nitrates, binders, sugar, and what have you. Just add your own spice blend, cook it up, and pair with eggs.

Holiday Recipes 2018

2018 – the year I was bit by the baking bug. I’ve always loved to bake, but this year, things came together. My friend Megan introduced me to King Arthur’s GF All Purpose Baking Flour and BOOM. Finally, recipes started behaving and tasting as they should! Thank you Megan and the King! You’re a huge inspiration 💗 Very happy to have found a gluten free flour that can be subbed measure for measure for regular flour. It really is a game changer. I can sub it for savory dishes or sweet treats and both turn out great!…

Cilantro Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is one of those must know basics. It’s easy, a great low carb rice substitute, and very versatile. You can mix it with a variety of ingredients and the cauliflower takes on those flavor profiles. I’ve found that cauliflower rice taste best when you keep it simple and most importantly, don’t overcook it. I use onion, cilantro, and coconut aminos to flavor. You can add garlic as well, but I find the garlic to be overpowering. Try this version and let me know what you think! This recipe goes great with curry, bbq chicken, and brown gravy.

Cabbage Jicama Parsley Slaw

This slaw recipe is nutritious and quick to throw together! The jicama adds a sweet, crunchy element that pairs great with the cabbage. I dress this slaw up with avocado mayo, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Anyway I can incorporate herbs, I do! Parsley is packed with nutrients and anytime a recipe calls for it, I triple the amount! Print Cabbage Jicama Parsley Slaw Adjust the coconut aminos, lemon, and pepper to your liking. I add extra coconut aminos because it adds a salty flavor that rounds out this slaw. …

Applesauce

This recipe highlights the natural sweetness of apples. I don’t add any sugar because it really doesn’t need it! You can use a blend of apples or stick to your favorite variety. I typically use a blend of honey crisp, pink lady, fuji, or opal (when I can find them). Tart or sweet, choose whichever apples suit you! After 6-8 hours in the crock pot all will taste just right. Store bought applesauce can’t compete with this homemade recipe. One of my favorite things is adjusting the cinnamon. I love bold cinnamon, so I make sure to use extra Vietnamese cinnamon…

Parsnip, Carrot, and Jicama Fritters

These fritters are delicious, easy to make, and filled with veggies and protein! I like them with fried eggs for breakfast and smothered in almond milk cream cheese for a snack! They’re even great re-heated, making them an excellent choice for meal prep. Print Parsnip, Carrot, and Jicama Fritters Play around with your vegetable mix! Most blends should turn out, just make sure you have enough eggs and flour to hold them together for frying. You could also try baking these, but the frying is what gives them their signature crispiness. Use the oven for…
