Wow. I've really changed how I cook and what I eat since I started with allrecipes. I am really interested in nutritionally dense food prep, raw foods, and fermented foods. I am still learning this new way of cooking. But we've seen real health benefits to eating this way! This way is recommended by the Weston A. Price Foundation and authors Sally Fallon and Jordin Rubin. Mostly we try to eat organic, raw dairy products, NO SOY, NO VEGETABLE OILS, saturated fats (ie butter, coconut oil and lard), soaked or sprouted grains. I look forward to sharing my cooking journey with you all!
My favorite things to cook
I love making bread and granola. Getting better at the whole sourdough thing but I really want to make a dark sourdough pumpernickel that my family would love! I also like making fudge with cocoa, coconut oil and honey as the base ingredients. My kids feel like they are getting real treats! But it is healthy, too!
My favorite family cooking traditions
We love making smoothies right now with raw milk kefir. Our favorite meal is probably Friday pizza night or Sunday morning breakfast with sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy and fruit salad! I do try to celebrate every holiday with special foods. Scents and tastes make great memories!
