This blog post feels like a strange one to share. Not because it isn’t delicious (it is!), but because the memory that will always be tied to my experience of this german bee sting cake is on the sombre side. You see, my Oma has been in and out of hospital (mostly in) for theRead more
Vanilla and Chocolate Spelt Marble Cake
Sometimes you just want cake… you NEED cake. It’s not anyone’s birthday, anniversary, special day, event or even Cake Day (every November 26th if you wanted to know š ) but you make cake anyways. This Vanilla and Chocolate Spelt Marble cake was that cake for me. A little vanilla, a little chocolate, dense butRead more
Spelt Trail Mix Cookies
Seeing my friends try out my recipes and get giddy when they have success makes me wildly happy. So when one of those friends I’ve known my entire life (Hi Erica! š ) asked me to createĀ a trail mix/granola type cookie I was thrilled…. and it gets me bakingĀ something other thanĀ the “typical” recipes I usuallyRead more
Upside Down Rhubarb Spelt Cake
Last year when the rhubarb started poking its head above the ground my Mom told me how she used to dip the end of a stalk in sugar and munch away on it like that when she was a child. Odd, I thought, but what the hey, I’ll give it a try. Uh nope. TastedRead more
Seedy Spelt No Knead Bread
Where has this bread been all my life?! It wasn’t until very recently when I made my Sunflower Flax Seed Spelt Bread thatĀ I hadĀ any clue how amazingly tasty seeds are in homemade bread! So much flavour and texture, my tastebuds barely know what to do. The morning I made this bread I waitedĀ ever so patientlyRead more
Raspberry Oatmeal Spelt Muffins

Sunflower and Flax Seed No Knead Spelt Bread
So I’m a little behind the eight-ball with this post as I first made this bread last weekend, but I’ve got another batch rising as I type! I wanted to experiment with something a little different so I went perusing through my Mom’s wealth of bread books and happened upon a flax and sunflower seedRead more
Cinnamon Raisin No Knead Spelt Bread
I hadn’t made bread for a few weeks and was starting to struggle with when to fit it into my schedule. I start to get a little cranky when I don’t make time for creativity (and tinkering with bread is a big one for me). Then a thought gently floated into my mind and suddenlyRead more
Whole Grain Spelt Brownie Cookies
CHOCOLATE! All I could think about with Valentine’s Day coming up was chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I had my heart set on making some ooey, gooey brownies for me and my man so I went poking around Pinterest to see what I could find. Good grief. I almost gagged at the amount of butter and theRead more
Apple Sponge Cake with Spelt Flour
I may have squealed a little when Carly asked me to write a guest blog post for Modern Hippie Housewife. I knew exactly what recipe I wanted to share: this delightfully fancy looking but oh so simple apple cake. This is a recipe that my Mom has been making since she was in her twentiesRead more
Ancient Grains Granola Clusters
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
