Roasted Roots
Categories: UncategorizedTags:: butter, carrots, cinnamon, cloves, honey, roots, salt, thyme, turnips, winter
This was an experiment that worked out pretty well. Purple carrots and turnips. I added them to a sweet spiced honey butter. I added a dash of thyme but it probably isn’t even necessary. They turned out very tasty. My ingredients may be a bit off, as I was kind of dashing this and that, … Continue reading

The Healing Hooty Hoo

The Thieves blend (an essential oil mix) is a popular and old fashioned way of keeping the germies away. At first I was skeptical, as I am about most things. However this blend was worn by “thieves” during the plague as they looted the dead. A bit morbid, but it worked for them and it … Continue reading

This recipe was inspired by the book “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon. I omitted the creme fraiche (a type of sour cream) and changed the chicken stock to vegetable. I also mashed the potatoes instead of putting them into q food processor because I don’t have a hand held one. It turned out absolutely delicious. … Continue reading

Pear Harvest Butter

My parents neighbors are proof that nice people do in fact still exist. Not only did they offer us all the pears we wanted from their pear tree, they also donated the remaining ones to local food shelters because they know they can’t possibly eat all of them. So instead of letting them waste, as … Continue reading

Pumpkin spiced latte’s are delicious, but something about digesting that syrupy gunky stuff never sits well with me. Have you ever left your cup out for awhile and seen it separate? Not very appetizing. So let’s make one that’s good(ish) for you with REAL pumpkin! The idea came from Organic Authority but I modified it … Continue reading
