Raw Milk Yogurt Is Yummy!

by emily on August 16, 2011

I finally did it. I pulled out Nourishing Traditions, found the raw milk yogurt recipe, and made it. (This post is part of Healthy Home Economist’s Monday Mania.) I hadn’t planned on it.

Five Fun Things To Do With Raw Cheese

by emily on July 12, 2011

by emily on July 6, 2011

Today I am participating in Real Food Wednesday courtesy of kellythekitchenkop.com.

Tasty Tuesday

by emily on June 7, 2011

It suddenly has become too hot to cook our usual Saturday morning pancakes, so this is what we had for breakfast this past Saturday: Banana-cashew “ice cream”! The one in the middle with the cacao nibs is mine. The ice cream by itself was way too sweet, so I needed to add some bitterness. Benjamin [...]

A homemade tahini recipe is not at all complicated, and an inexpensive option of a healthy diet. Just put some sesame seeds in a high-quality food processor, whirl it until smooth and spreadable, and voila! It’s as easy as that. Or, is it? Well, it could be.

The Best Raw Ice Cream Ever!

by emily on July 9, 2010

How’s this for a healthy diet? The other day, we had ice cream for breakfast. Seriously. Of course, it wasn’t the run-of-the-mill grocery store frozen sugar-laden stuff. It was raw ice cream, made from young coconuts. I based it on the recipe in Natalia Rose’s book, The Raw Food Detox Diet, but decided to modify [...]
