Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s a good Saturday morning treat that my grandmother introduced me to. I have tweaked it to make it a bit more nutritious, but the basic concept is the same. Make a batch of biscuit dough. 1 1/3c soft white wheat ground into flour (about 2c flour) 1/4 cup butter 2/3 cup buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon [...]
Healthy Tollhouse Cookies

I made Cranberry-Apple pie from Nourishing Traditions (NT) Christmas dinner. This is the one place in NT where Sally actually departs from NT principles and provides a recipe for pie crust using white flour. The crust turned out surprisingly well for one of my first pie crusts. I used Yali pears. I had never heard [...]

I’ve been using Sue Gregg‘s Breakfasts cookbook for a couple months now and I love it. Every recipe I’ve tried has been great. I recently decided to try modifying one of her muffin recipes. My kids (and wife) will often eat things if they have even the remotest inkling that there might be chocolate in [...]
Chocolate Bar

Chocolate is definitely not encouraged in Nourishing Traditions. There are several recipes using carob, but none with cocoa or chocolate. I’m not convinced cacao beans are bad for you. It is a bean that is actually fermented in a multi-day process. It does have some caffeine, but it is extremely high in anti-oxidants (higher than [...]
