In just over a month my little one will turn two. While there is a small part of me that feels like the time has flown by, another, much larger part of me still feels the weight of all the days that have passed, all the days that I barely made it through and allRead more
Somehow it has been almost a year since I have posted here. Time slipped away quickly and quietly as I watched my daughter grow and change into a quick toddler full of mischief. I’ve spent countless hours playing and digging and making wonderful messes with her (a tricky thing for this here Virgo). We’ve doneRead more
How is everyone doing out there? I hope you’re all taking care of yourselves and each other and most importantly being kind to one another. 🙂 Being isolated has been fairly easy so far. It helps that I’m a homebody by nature, but keeping the little one growing inside me safe is also a noRead more
It was over two years ago that I last attempted to put these Cheddar, Chive and Herb Spelt Scones up here. Where does the time go?! For who knows what reason (probably me thinking the photos weren’t good enough) they never made it. Well, today is the day… because… baby wanted them. Yep you readRead 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
The first time I made these I was stirring a big pot of veggie chilli and it was as if someone had whispered in my ear, I suddenly said out loud “mmmm buttery biscuits.” There was no question, I had to make biscuits to dunk in this chilli. A quick scan online and through myRead 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. This blueberry banana baked ‘oatmeal’ is just perfect for that… I say ‘oatmeal’ because I actually use Rogers’ Ancient Grain Porridge blend (which has oat, rye, barley, spelt, khorasan AND quinoa flakesRead more
An ode to summer, an ode to humongous organic blueberries, an ode to a farmer named Jacob. We arrived in the heat, the kind of heat that makes everything quiet. Here was this very tall, jolly looking man ready to show us around his farm… specifically his blueberries fields. Up onto the tractor and awayRead more
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
