Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

My husband ate this soup! He is not a soup lover, but he ate it and liked it! This sounds like a small thing but in our house, it’s major progress. Since I’ve known him he won’t eat 99% of soups or stews. This is also a great way to use any turkey leftovers from [...]

Squash your Pre-conceived Ideas of Squash!

I now have some really pretty yellow and green striped Delicata Squash, thanks to some Seeds of Change organic seeds! What I really like about this heirloom variety is that it’s kind of halfway between a summer squash and a winter squash, and you can eat the skin since it is thin enough. If you [...]

Split Pea Soup with Ham

This is the time of year for split pea soup! Many of us will have a ham at either Thanksgiving or Christmas. The ham bone (with the hunk of ham attached) makes a great base for split pea soup. My husband is in love with ham. I think I could dab some ham juice behind [...]

Garlic Dill Pickle Recipe

As I’m writing this I’m taking a break with a glass of kombucha and celebrating that I am DONE putting up the pickles for this year. In typical Kim-fashion I bought a huge 25 pound bag of local pickling cucumbers at one of our area farm stores. I hid it from my husband in the [...]

Bread and Butter Pickles

I love this pickle recipe! It is out of Sally Fallon Morell and Mary Enig’s ‘Eat Fat, Lose Fat‘ book, which is a great book to read in addition to Nourishing Traditions. It’s nice to have a sweeter version of the lacto-fermented pickle, and the honey and lemon juice in this recipe do the job [...]

Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Last weekend I made this dish and it was a complete hit with the family! To stretch it out for even more than six people serve with refried beans and brown rice. It’s actually quite an economical way to use chicken when you don’t have quite enough to serve everyone. And the end product is [...]

Healthy Breakfast Sausage is Possible

This recipe is so easy I’m not sure why I never made it before. Just throw spices and herbs into some meat, mix, form into patties and cook, and voila! You have sausage with no MSG or any weird fillers. And I used beef hamburger of all things to make this, because we have a [...]

Time to Make the Applesauce!

Last fall I found a great deal on bulk apples and asian pears at our local apple orchard, Oregon Heritage Farms which is just a couple miles from my home. Being the obsessed person that I am, I took home about 80 pounds of a combination of apples and asian pears. The combination of the [...]

Baked Custard Recipe

This is a great, easy and tasty Nourishing Traditions dessert recipe. My family was scraping their bowls to get every last bit of custard! I have to admit though, I totally messed it up the first night by adding TWICE as much sweetener as the recipe calls for, by accident. I figured it out after [...]

Lamb Stew in May? Sure, why not?

The weather is starting to get warmer, but for some reason I’m still wanting stew. I will make a small stew and then eat for lunches, but never dinner now, which I seem to need lighter fare lately. I used some lamb shoulder steak for this Nourishing Traditions recipe and it was delicious! Love it [...]

Soaked Waffles

My husband is actually the waffle cook in the family, but this time I wanted to see how it’s done! So I soaked some whole wheat flour in clabbered milk overnight. This was actually the very first time that I’ve made waffles. I can’t even believe that but it’s true. I was really surprised that [...]

How to Clabber Milk

This is an amazing thing, clabbering milk. I always love these ‘recipes’ for things that if you just leave something on the counter and leave it for a few days, voila! You have something else. And for the first time in my life, I understand why they would name a baking powder brand after this [...]

Moroccan Tagine Chicken

I made this wonderful chicken last Sunday night after purchasing a tagine pan that was on sale at my local kitchen store. What is a tagine, you say? It has kind of a cone shaped lid over a clay or cast iron pan. Mine is cast iron. The heat stays in the pan and the [...]

How to Make Homemade Ginger Ale

Do not mistake this recipe for the ginger ale that you get at the grocery store. It is much stronger, and actually tastes like ginger! Sally Fallon says in Nourishing Traditions to drink it warm and dilute it with water or carbonated water if you’d like. It is refreshing, and especially good for menstrual cramps [...]

Read the â€˜Cheese Weekâ€™ Introduction post Well, not only my first cheese souffle, my first souffle, EVER! I admit it, I was a little nervous to make this recipe.

Pickled Ginger

I love all things sushi and this simple recipe for pickled ginger goes with everything.
