If you have ever had real pralines then you know how sinfully good they are. I’ve added that incredible flavor to the crispy topping on my buttery maple praline coffee cake! Pralines are a crumbly, buttery caramel candy studded with pecans. Since I stopped eating white sugar I haven’t made them but the topping on this …
Easy
I had a hard time naming this recipe. I’m still questioning whether calling it raw chocolate chip cookie dough halva bites is fair. It’s not really anything like the flaky traditional tahini halva made with cooked sugar or honey, or like real chocolate chip cookie dough made from flour, sugar, and eggs. Instead the combination …
When life gives you lard, make sourdough tortillas! I have always used a really nice sourdough tortilla recipe that a friend passed on to me. It calls for flour, starter, butter, lard, salt, water, and baking soda. While I like this recipe, it does not call for proper fermentation of the flour. So I set …
When I’m brainstorming ways of cooking duck meat I always associate fruit. Duck has a strong, rich, earthy flavor that is smoothed and refined by adding a natural sweetener like apples, dried fruit, or dark complex berries. Duck liver is essentially the same and needs a careful balance of sweetness to bring out that complexity …
A real-food dinner shouldn’t be stressful or time consuming. There are plenty of days when I need an easy recipe that pleases a crowd, nourishes the soul, and keeps all the bellies full.

I’ve made a lot of coconut butter fudge over the last few years. Once I figured out my master three-ingredient recipe I was hooked. I’ve since written numerous coconut butter fudge recipes ranging from real raw chocolate to festive cranberry orange to smooth and decadent maple pecan. With that said, this lemon coconut butter fudge might be my …
Variety is the spice of life. Do I love pasta? Yes! Can I eat pasta every day? No. Unfortunately pasta is one of those carbs that really sticks to my hips. Even my properly prepared Sprouted Sourdough Pasta will weigh me down if I eat it all the time. I developed this easy garlic butter …

I’ve been messing around with this recipe for a few months and it’s finally ready to be released to the world. This is not your standard dry and crumbly cornbread.

The bark itself is just three simple raw ingredients: raw cacao, raw coconut, and raw honey. There are no fillers, no refined sugars, no chemicals, no soy, and no junk! This is a holiday …
I absolutely love this recipe. Baking gingerbread is a family tradition that my daughter, husband, and I enjoy doing together every year around the holidays. And my daughter really got into it this year! It was so sweet to see her little hands rolling and cutting the dough. I watched with admiration as she used …
Over the last few years I’ve made it my mission to learn how to make the softest, fluffiest, chewiest, naturally leavened bread with my sourdough starter. This easy sourdough boule is the result of much practice and formula testing. I wanted to keep the recipe very simple and straightforward so that even an amateur sourdough …
I love it when a recipe is born from leftover ingredients! This recipe for tart and jammy Cranberry and Sourdough Pastry Pinwheels came about when I found myself with an extra pie crust pastry and a whole bunch of dried cranberries. I really love my new Sweet and Buttery Sourdough Pie Crust. It tastes like …
Every nourishing diet should include plenty of organ meats from healthy pastured animals. But it’s not always easy with the modern palate. If you didn’t grow up eating things like liver, kidneys, and other organ meats, the preparation and taste can be a little, well, off-putting. It takes time to get over the squeamish feeling …
It had been over a year since I had pasta of any sort. That just wouldn’t do. Pasta is such a comfort food, it actually feels unsettling to not have pasta for that long a stretch. So I decided to create a pasta recipe that uses all properly prepared grains. I’m passionate about the proper …
Your nourished morning just got a little easier! Everybody loves waffles but not everybody does well on conventional waffle recipes. If you are passionate about proper grain preparation you will love this recipe for sourdough and sprouted whole wheat waffles. Traditional sourdough waffles are really lovely, but they require a bit of planning as the …
Nothing makes me feel more festive during the holidays than a big plate of fudge. I love seeing it on cookie platters and it’s always the first thing I reach for. Unfortunately, most fudge recipes are so overly sweet that my teeth would curl if I tried to eat them today. That’s why I’ve been …
