Decided to enjoy a raw whole milk latte and some made from scratch chocolate chip cookies while reading through the new 2010 USDA dietary guidelines. These cookies were made with: tons of organic pastured butter, organic freshly ground whole grain flour, organic sugar, organic eggs, and organic chocolate chips.
Slow Food Creation
When we lived in New Mexico, Stu grew this GMO-Free Organic Hopi Indian Corn in our backyard garden. You can see the dried kernels in the bottle. Today I took the corn, ground it up and made this Polenta. It's not your typical yellow Polenta that you make from store-bought cornmeal. This might be something your Mexican Abuela might make.
a short break from europe photos, to show you this! its currently cooling off on the pantry.
its rhubarb from the garden and local strawberries.
i made the pie myself from a really vague recipe from my grandmother. i didnt check before i started melting the vegetal shortening; i was running out of flour! i was almost squeazing the bag for more!
but i did make it through and hopefully this pie is good.
the crust doesnt look too bad for a second attempt (in a lifetime?) i shall make you more often, pie crust.
maybe it sounds obnoxious but i never "really" fail at cooking / baking.
I’ve been keeping a keen eye on my jalapeño plants waiting for them to come ripe. I spotted this recipe a long time ago and have been waiting for these peppers for months just to make it.
I did some baking yesterday afternoon. This is a cake from scratch, not a box. I never use box cake mixes, they have too much sugar and other funky things in them! I don't use refined white sugar either. I use Xyla, it's a sweetener made from hardwood trees and does not affect your teeth! The texture of this cake is rather like a muffin. The cake is Gluten Free, rich and very tasty. It is very different from the Italian Cream Cakes served in restaurants. This is the chunk Stu took to work this morning! It sure would go great with a nice hot cup of tea or Joe!
Update: I just had a piece...I will make this again, it was really delicious. Not sweet but filling and very satisfying!
As you can imagine we don't do regular normal burger toppings on our venison burgers (thanks to Mr Chiots great hunting skills this past year). Naturally we use homemade buns, which I bake up and keep in the freezer so we always have some on hand. The burgers are topped with: homemade roasted pear chutney, caramelized onions and local raw milk blue cheese. Our burgers are usually enjoyed with a few of our homegrown potatoes fried in coconut oil. It sure makes for a quick, simple, delicious and healthy meal! And you can't forget a Mexican Coke made with real sugar in a glass bottle.
Made for the bake sale we had for IJM today.
Yet another batch without a recipe, and let me tell you, the two I snuck before giving them off to the bake sale were mighty tasty.
Rough recipe-
somewhere around 1/2 c of brown sugar, probably less
1 stick of butter
1 egg
quarter cup or so of peanut butter
a large spoonful of nutella
2/3ish cup of flour, mostly white, with a little bit of wheat
dash of salt
dash of baking soda
dash of baking powder
some chocolate chips
I was going to add nuts too, but I forgot.
Mmm, so good.
Really though, no more cookies until spring break. I make them way too often, but the bake sale was a good excuse.

Eighteen pounds of sauerkraut, that's how much I made 10 days ago. People keep asking me, "What are you going to do with all that?". I'll give a few jars away to friends, but we'll eat most it. It will be on our plate every meal until it's gone. The chiots will get some each morning as well. We even eat it for breakfast, head on over to Eat Outside the Bag for more about that and links to my recipe.
Sorry! Meant to write a description but forgot!
So, this was last Sunday's dinner. I made it early because I had a band rehearsal/audition in the evening. This is my infamous chicken pot pie, made from scratch. I'm not sure I want to share the recipe ;)
I'm trying to make more home cooked meals during the day. It's so hard when you slave over a stove for 2+ hours (yes this is how long it took to make this because every ingredient was fresh) only to have your kids reject it. But I'm sick and tired of eating poorly so if they don't want to eat, too bad! I can't begin to tell you how good it was!
Don't be a stranger!

Making pasta at home is quick and easy, once you start you’ll never go back to the dry stuff in a box from the grocery store.
It's What's For Supper :)
Home made Coconut Cream Of Mushroom Soup from scratch today. I love having a warm bowl of soup on a chilly day. Mushroom is one of my favourites. I used Baby Bella's in my soup because they have a nice rich flavour. I also used coconut cream instead of dairy cream.
Shampoo Bar All Natural Essential Oils and Extracts
I've been mulling around with this idea for quite some time. I've used my own soaps for shampoo bars and that was alright with me. But after researching forever I've created a recipe specifically for hair.
My hair is waist length, dry and curly with flyaway baby hairs that drive me nuts. This shampoo bar leaves my hair very soft, controls the flyaways, smells nice. I even woke up in the middle of the night because the smell and feel of my scalp was so intensely soft I couldn't believe it! It cleans beautifully, leaving my hair shinny, soft and even full bodied!
So let me break down the ingredients…
My base oils are: Olive, Coconut, Palm, Castor, Wheatgerm, Jojoba, Walnut, Rice, Avocado, Sunflower and Shea Butter.
Essential oils used are: Rosemary, Carrot Seed, Calendula
Extracts are: Nettle and Chamomile
Also added: Liquid Silk, Vitamin E, Fresh Aloe Vera and BTMS (vegetable based conditioning emulsifier)
I've added no extra coloring or scent to this save the wonderful natural scent of these oils combined! I love this shampoo bar and it's been a long time coming. I hope you enjoy it the same and I encourage you to research these ingredients to find out just how wonderful and beneficial they are for your hair.
This 60th birthday cake had a hand sculpted fish and fishing rod made out of gumpaste. All of the cattails, rocks and leaves were also made from gumpaste.
I unraveled this yarn from a Christian Dior skirt! No lie. It's cashmere!

I loved the wayi the sunlight was coming in the window and spolighting this sandwich I made the other night for dinner.
Made with: local raw milk gruyere cheese, homegrown sundried tomatoes, freshly harvested arugula, on homemade sourdough bread, I grilled it in my vintage cast iron Griswold skillet in homemade raw milk butter.
Growing your own food isn't just about saving money, it's about so much more. I truly believe that as humans we posses an innate desire or need to take a hand-on role in the production of the food we consume. Whether through growing your own, foraging in the wild, hunting or even going to a local farm, knowing exactly where your food comes from provides a deep sense of appreciation for what you eat.

The measurements are proportionate to an actual tennis court, the racket and balls are larger so they would stand out better on the cake. The cake is iced in Vanilla buttercream and the court is made from fondant.
a cake whipped up for my sister who's hosting a last minute come dine with me light lunch for a few of our friends.....
Every week I bake up a batch of sourdough bread. This past week it was used for Thanksgiving day stuffing - MMMMM.

My first attempt, making Tiramisu from scratch. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and absolutely delectable. The recipe is blogged here
love this material, hangs beautifully, just a shame that I bought it about 10 years ago and have no idea what it is - its not cotton... (I also love my lovely red Nine West stiletto's .... & they're about 4-5 years old)
Cute themed birthday cake for a little girl with bright colors, flowers, stripes, diamond, a little bit of everything. Lot of butterflies on wires and lady bugs "crawling" on the cake.
