This is the sourdough stuffing I make every year for the holidays. And every year it never fails to impress us all. When home-baked sourdough bread is used as a stuffing for roasted poultry, it takes on an almost bread pudding-like texture. It’s soft and moist because it does a wonderful job of absorbing all …
Whether you call it cranberry sauce, jellied cranberry, or cranberry salad, no holiday meal is complete without the sweet-tart taste of cranberries! I took my cranberry sauce in a whole new direction this year when I started reading about fermented cranberries. Like peeled whole garlic, whole cranberries can be covered in raw honey and left …

Making this easy, probiotic, tangy labneh cheese is really as simple as straining some yogurt. When you strain yogurt the whey is removed from the milk solids. This leaves you with a soft, spreadable, cream cheese-like product that can be added to recipes (like my Probiotic Blackberry Fool), eaten as a spread with roasted vegetables, …
Some soups are so easy it’s shameful not to make them more often! I think you will find that to be true with this quick, filling, eight-ingredient cream soup. It’s loaded with broccoli and cauliflower so it’s naturally thick, and the crispy bacon topping takes it to the next level. This Cream of Broccoli and …
I’m not going to lie. This is probably one of the best meals I have EVER made!!! Not only was it super easy, fast, loaded with spices, wonderfully flavorful, and visually appealing but the whole family loved it and gobbled it up. It was a huge win, considering it was spur of the moment and …
I’m not really sure why this recipe for traditionally fermented, butter top sourdough wasn’t the first recipe on my blog. It is by far one of the most, if not the most important recipe in my kitchen. I make at least one loaf of sourdough sandwich bread a week and I haven’t bought bread regularly …
You know what’s nice about Japanese eggplant? They are as easy as they are beautiful! This purple-hued, thin-skinned beauty is perfectly palatable after a quick stir fry in some healthy oil. The fact that it cooks quickly and doesn’t need to be peeled or salted prior to cooking makes it a great weeknight choice. I …
Let’s be honest. Pie crust can be a tricky little devil. So, in this post I’m going to share my tips for making a perfectly flaky, beautiful crust for every pie! It’s ALL About the Pie Dough. This is the number one, most important aspect of making a superb pie. The crust needs to be …
These are my favorite crackers. I’ve been “testing” (gleefully eating) batch after batch to make sure I get them just right for you! They are similar to my Sesame, Cheese, and Nut Crackers except they have the distinct flavor that only nutritional yeast can bring. I love nutritional yeast and butter on popcorn so it …
You know summer is in full swing when the peaches and peppers show up at the farmer’s markets! A sweet and spicy jalapeño peach marinade is the perfect way to take advantage of both. In this recipe I use bavette steaks, but this marinade would be delicious on any cut of beef, lamb, or chicken! …
I just sat down to a nice little lunch featuring these amazing pizza green beans. They have been hanging out on my counter for the last 10 days traditionally fermenting with garlic, tomato, and oregano. I will officially tell you I’m in love! I’m not even a huge fan of green beans but when I …

Don’t be intimidated to cook salmon on the grill! Once you learn this easy trick you will be mastering grilled salmon every weekend. …
Snacking on cheese and crackers is one of life’s greatest joys. In fact we like to make a whole meal out of it! But when you are cutting carbs or avoiding gluten it can be a challenge to find a great cracker! You want one that stays crunchy and crispy and holds up well to …
BBQ season is upon us and you know that means friends, family, and food! This impromptu slaw came together with inspiration from all the wonderful herbs at my local organic farm stand, especially the beautiful, fresh Thai basil. Luckily I was able to grab a quick pic of this beauty before my dinner guests dove …
