Pancakes are one of those rare indulgences I allow myself. The buttery, sweet goodness is such a delight first thing in the morning. The issue is that I’m trying to cut wheat from my diet and a lot of the gluten free varieties don’t measure up. That is, until I found the Birch Benders Paleo…

Lemon Macaroon Cheesecake Tartlet
Cheesecake is probably my favorite dessert. If I opt for dessert, it’s always my go to when I’m at a restaurant. I never thought a raw cheesecake would ever measure up, but this recipe is fantastic! When I think of Cheesecake, I think of my friend Jen. She was my roommate for several years and…
Liver Pâté
Liver…really? Liver? That’s what my grandmother tried to feed me when I was a kid. It smelled gross and even had a weird texture! Well, honey, this ain’t your grandmother’s shoe leather liver. This is a silky, tasty, lovely spread that goes wonderfully on sourdough bread or crackers, or even crunchy veggies. I believe it…
Perfect Welsh Rarebit & Chilli Jam
I was browsing through YouTube looking for some interesting recipes, when I came across some of Jamie Oliver’s old TV shows. He was always one of my favorite celebrity chefs. His passion for school lunches and the whole Food Revolution always spoke to me. I feel much the same passion for food and the need…
Pizza Fat Bombs
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Fat Bombs are all the craze these days! It’s a wonderful way to get healthy fats into your body while enjoying something delicious. For the longest time, I thought they were only a desserty thing. I had NO idea there were savory options too. The options are only…
Baby Daikon Radish Ferment
I have a friend who absolutely adores my radish ferments. She can sit down and eat a whole jar at a time. So when I can get my hands on some radishes, I’m always sure to bring her a jar. As my motto states (Fermentation does all the farting for you!), you might be able to imagine…
Orange Cake
“This delicious cake incorporates the principles of both lacto-fermentation and enzyme nutrition. The flour is soaked in cultured cream and yoghurt and, after cooking, the cake is soaked for another day or so in a mixture of orange juice, lemon juice and raw honey, whey and brandy or sherry. This imparts enzymes to the cake along with flavor and moistness.” Nourishing Traditions, pg 567
Healthy Jello
What a catastrophe! I wasn’t planning on making jello when I began this project. It kinda oozed all over the place and landed in a bowl full of jello. I originally set out to make these awesome rhubarb, raspberry, strawberry pies made in a standing crust, but in the end, it didn’t turn out that…
Crispy Nuts
I have always enjoyed nuts! They are a perfect snack, full of protein and fat among other things. They also give so many entrees, salads and cakes a bit of crunch. However, if nuts aren’t properly prepared they can put stress on the digestive tract. Grain, legumes and nuts all contain phytic acid on the…
Homemade Pho (Fa)
I don’t think I will ever get tired of this dish! Seriously. Is fresh, warm, comforting and perfectly delicious. I honestly can’t seem to get enough. I often make it on a Sunday afternoon and eat leftovers for 3 days, always shaking my head when I pour the last ladle into my bowl. While taking…
