Wheatberry Bread
This delightfully sweet, nutty bread is more than the sum of its (two) parts. It is toothsome and satisfying, dense yet soft — it’s even won over at least one white bread fan! This small loaf will go a long way.
3 cups wheatberries 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Put the wheatberries in a large bowl, and [...]
250 g (2 1/4 c.) rolled oats 1/4 c. sugar 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 t. cream of tartar 1/4 t. fine sea salt 1 t. cinnamon
Grind the oats into a flour, and mix in the rest of the dry ingredients. I’ve also used half oats, half quinoa (soaked for a few hours and pureed), which results in a nuttier [...]
2 delicata squash
Chop off the very ends, cut in half, remove the seeds and pulp, and roast at 350 degrees F (300 if you’ve got a convection oven) for 30 minutes. Then chop it up.
1 leek, chopped 2-4 cloves of garlic 4 c. vegetable broth 1 t. thyme Sea salt and black pepper
Sautee the leek in a little [...]
I like mixing sweet and savory. The original recipe called for mayonnaise, but I love the tang of good mustard! Also, soaking the sunflower seeds is optional, but makes them more digestible and their nutrients more accessible — feel free to use other seeds or nuts, too.
1 green apple, chopped 3 celery stalks, split lengthwise and [...]
Using purple potatoes from the local farmer’s market is a brilliant idea here, because it goes so well with the avocado and makes it look as fresh and delightful as it tastes!
1 1/2 lb. new potatoes, scrubbed and cubed 1 large ripe avocado, diced Juice of 1/2 lemon Small handful of herbs (I used parsley) 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, [...]
Since this pie doesn’t require baking (well, if you have a no-bake or already-baked crust, anyway), it is a perfect last-minute dessert. Plus it’s healthy enough for seconds, thirds, and even breakfast. Not only that, but it has the approval of pie-lovers and pie-haters alike! Feel free to up the spices, sprinkle some granola on [...]
This no-bake pie filling was inspired by a recipe for pear-cardamom butter, which sounded so divine I had to try the flavor combination for myself! Agar agar is a seaweed that thickens much like gelatin, and allows this pie to hold its shape — don’t worry, though, it’s completely flavorless and allows the fresh fruit [...]
This delicious and beautifully frothy white milk is perfect over cold cereal or in baking, with a light tahini taste that might take a little getting used to. Sesame seeds are high in calcium, so this milk is a bit closer to the nutritional profile you’d expect without any additional ingredients.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sesame seeds (or [...]
These cookies have a delicately sweet flavor, perfect for tea biscuits. They use juice concentrate instead of sugar, which is just as sweet but more healthful and flavorful. Try mixing in some walnuts or raisins, I’m sure they’d go perfectly with the apple flavor. Perhaps some lemon zest, too. This recipe makes a dozen cookies [...]
Peaches loves gingerale, especially with cranberry juice, so I decided to try making it myself. This recipe gets his seal of approval — it tastes great, gingery and lightly carbonated.
Ingredients:
3/4 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root 1/2 cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast Juice of half a lemon water
Directions:
Pour ginger, sugar, yeast, and lemon juice into an empty 1-liter [...]
