A New Chapter for Native Batch
I think the most challenging part of picking up something again after a long hiatus is just starting. It’s been said many times that beginning is the the hardest part of any journey and with cousins “finishing” and “consistency” trailing not too far behind, they can be just as challenging. If you were to peek at my unfinished drafts over the past 5 years you would see I had every intention, numerous times to pickup where I left off on…

How Activated Charcoal Might Help You Get Through The Holiday Season
With the holiday season underway most of us will be indulging on lots of good food and drinks. For good health it’s important that we try and keep everything within moderation. However there will be times where moderation will go out the window and that extra pan of cookies or that big punch bowl of egg nog will be calling your name. 🙂 Moderation is something I personally struggle with especially since I’m always trying out and creating new…

Sweet Potato Walnut & Apple Bilberry Currant Rugelach
Rugelach has always been one of my favorite cookies. Lets just put it this way, if they were on a cookie tray with chocolate chip, sugar, and oatmeal raisin cookies, my hand would immediately go to the rugelach. It’s just something about the slightly tart, cheesy flavor of the pastry, combined with chocolate or fruit that reminds me of a miniature cheesecake but in cookie form. Rugelach tastes amazing with tea or coffee. And they are quite filling because of…

How To Make Brazil Nut Milk
Brazil nut milk is a non dairy milk I like to make quite often. It’s because brazil nuts have a creamy, smooth and almost cheesy taste. They lend very well to being turned into a creamy, delicious non dairy milk. Because Brazil nuts can be on the higher price side I will often make almond or walnut milk and save brazil nut milk for certain recipes. Those recipes would be baked macaroni and cheese, custard type pies like sweet…
