It has been a least a year of testing and re-testing spelt sourdough breads, reading and following instructions in different bread books, I even took a friggin’ course on it and still I had yet to produce one loaf that was anything similar to my no knead bread with commercial yeast. That is until twoRead 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.

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
Blueberry, bran mmmmmmmmmuffins! Mom and I have been tinkering with this recipe for quite some time to get it just right. I’m really not a fan of those dense muffins you find at most bakeries that require coffee, tea or water just to get them down. Bleck. These guys on the other hand have aRead more
