Just a heads up: if you are looking for a healthy version of peanut butter cookies, these chewy peanut butter spelt cookies with chocolate drizzle are NOT it. 😀 These cookies are super chewy, perfectly sweet and extra decadent with chocolate drizzled all over them. The perfect treat for someone on their birthday… like myRead more
Another recipe from my Mom’s handwritten collection, these Spelt, Rye and Cornmeal Muffins were a genuine surprise for me to find as I had never known my Mom to mix different grains and/or flours together in her recipes. I figure she must have left this one just for me to find. Muffins weren’t a stapleRead more
New year, new ancient grain! I first made these teff and spelt blueberry waffles months ago when a friend of mine brought me a bunch of Bob’s Red Mill flour samples to tinker around with and I made them again over the holidays when I was finally able to track down some teff flour viaRead more
I’ve been holding out on you guys. I’ve had this recipe ready since the Summer but haven’t posted it yet because I’m just not quite happy with any of the photos I have taken of these waffles over the past few months. I even made my guy and I eat the “wonky” looking ones thisRead more

Sometimes I just want something warm and yummy without pulling out all the stops to make waffles or pancakes on a lazy weekend morning.

Muesli… the slightly lazy person’s (aka me) granola. Or so I thought. It has been quite some time since I made my ancient grains granola, but I could no longer put it off with all the summer fruits and berries ripening right now. I thought I was pretty crafty and would save myself some time by makingRead more
It has been a looooooooooooong time since I made scones, but my Mom’s rhubarb plant has been growing like crazy since we made rhubarb cake so I decided to help the plant lighten the load. You might be thinking rhubarb is way too tart for scones, but it actually really lightened up the rich butteriness ofRead more
All work and no baking makes Sophie go something something… Crazy? Don’t mind if I do! Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. 😀 It’s been a very full month around here and I’m really missing baking up new (and old) recipes to munch on and share with you all! I did manage to whip up a batch of theseRead more
I really wanted to wait until I had my hands on some spelt flakes again before sharing this recipe with you, but lo and behold I found an ancient grain cereal blend in my local grocery store! I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the words “ancient grain” printed on an actual package.Read more
