The Easiest Biscuits You’ll Ever Make
You might think that making good biscuits you need tons of butter and buttermilk. But my friends that is not the case. In this recipe there is no butter, no buttermilk or regular milk. And these biscuits are made with only…wait for it, wait for it…4 Ingredients! (not including salt). How is this done? I’m going to tell you. But first let me brag a little bit more about these biscuits. These biscuits are soft, dense and have such great…

Einkorn Sourdough Cardamom & Pear Morning Buns (they also happen to be plant based)
I figured I would break up all the pumpkin recipe threads out there and go against the grain with some other fall flavors. Flavors like cardamom and pears. Have you ever noticed that pears really don’t get a lot of shine? They’re like the wallflowers of the fall fruit, standing quietly behind in the background letting apples and pumpkins get their moments in the spotlight. However pears are so delicious and they add a nice subtle fruity flavor in baked…

Pumpkin Tea Biscuits Using Jaggery
It’s funny for someone who has never really cared for pumpkin, I’ve been baking with it quite a bit lately. 🙂 A week ago there was a little bit of pumpkin puree left over from a batch of pumpkin granola I had made, recipe link right here. So instead of using the leftover puree in waffles I created a recipe where I could use my latest new ingredient obsession…jaggery. What is jaggery? Well if you haven’t heard…

TJ’s, One Small Pumpkin-Two Big Recipes
Fall is here which means everywhere you look there’s pumpkins and pumpkin flavored items. I’ve never been one to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon. And I’m not even a big fan of pumpkin. However my latest trip to Trader Joes, I had to buy a pumpkin. Ha Ha. There was such a cute display of small pumpkin pie pumpkins on display that I just had to buy one. The pumpkins had such a nice orange color. That wasn’t all I…

The Perfect For Me Sourdough Pizza Dough
When I was younger in my late teen years I basically lived off of pizza. My preference back then was Dominos. And when I was pregnant with my first child I could eat a whole Dominios medium pizza by myself. Being middle age I can’t even imagine doing that now. My body would probably go through anaphylactic shock if I had just one slice of Dominos pizza. With age and having gone through a major compromise of my immune…

Sourdough Chai Pancakes
Always researching for ways to use my sourdough starter, I came across this website. There were a number of recipes which caught my eye, one of them being a sourdough pumpkin recipe. However truth be told I’m not a big pumpkin flavor person. But I love the warming spices that go with pumpkin flavors. However what I like even more are chai flavors! So I decided to reinvent their recipe and create sourdough chai pancakes. Warming Spices Warming spices like…

Sourdough Jalapeno English Muffins
I’m starting to really like peppers and I’m not talking about regular green or red bell peppers. I’m talking about spicy peppers like jalapeno and serrano. Maybe it’s due to my taste buds wanting more intense flavors. I did turn fifty this year and they do say when you start to get older your taste buds can start craving stronger flavors. Either way I’ve started buying spicy peppers at the farmers market. The only thing is they’re sold in pints…

Einkorn Sourdough English Muffins
I’ve been having fun recently playing with my spelt sourdough starter. And my freezer is becoming full with the results. Not too long ago I made a delicious carob bread using the starter. And this week I decided to make English muffins. I’ve never made English muffins before. Which is quite odd because I’ve baked every type of bread I can think of besides bagels (which is going to be next on my sourdough list :)). English muffins are suppose…

Making Carob Bread with My Spelt Sourdough Starter
The whole science of making bread has always fascinated me. Actually baking in general. So its been challenging to say the least that due to my digestive issues and autoimmune challenges I’ve had to change the way I eat and bake. There’s no more sugar laden, chocolate indulgent, dairy filled , white flour desserts or breads for me anymore. Instead I’ve had to make adjustments. I noticed the impact gluten as well as grains were having on…
