The Sunday Chef

Veggies for Breakfast!

June 7, 2010

I am very sorry for my delay in posting! Luckily, I think the technical difficulties are finally over and I have added kombucha pictures and am ready to tell about my latest Sunday Chef recipe which is simply scrambled eggs and veggies. The catch is that they actually taste delicious together. And I say veggies [...]

Kombucha Part II

May 24, 2010

So you can imagine what I’m sipping right now as I write this post! I am very thankful that my first attempt at kombucha was successful. After letting the kombucha brew/set for about 10 days (without moving it), I removed the large mother scoby (pictured left), with clean hands and no rings, and placed it [...]

Homemade Kombucha Part I

May 16, 2010

These week’s Sunday Chef post is a little different! I am trying my hand for the first time at homemade kombucha. I have purchased bottled kombucha from health stores in the past (and they come in a variety of wonderful flavors), but they are pretty pricey for a small amount. A member of Nourishing Ways [...]

Simple Homemade Granola

May 9, 2010

Today’s recipe is for easy homemade granola and it’s the perfect healthy snack or topping for a yummy fruit and yogurt parfait. I found the recipe in the April magazine issue of Body + Soul, but also located it at their website. I actually cut the recipe into approximate thirds (that was a little hard [...]

Easy Rasberry Dressing

May 2, 2010

I learned this weekend’s recipe at the Wise Traditions 2009 conference and it is a super quick & easy salad dressing that is also pretty! I think it would be particularly good on a spinach salad with mozzarella cheese, dried fruit, and walnuts (but I’ll have to wait ’til tomorrow to try that!). It is [...]

Strawberry Granola Yogurt

April 18, 2010

My latest favorite snack is cold, refreshing, and oh-so easy to make! I use my own plain homemade yogurt, but you could use plain Greek yogurt or any other kind you like (preferably organic).
I start with about 1 cup yogurt and stir about 1-1.5 Tsp raw honey in well. I then add frozen strawberries (from [...]

Easy Raspberry Sauce

April 11, 2010

Around this time last year I had posted on how to make homemade, delicious vanilla ice cream. I had mentioned that a great sauce to go with it would be the Nourishing Tradition‘s raspberry sauce, but I hadn’t yet made it myself (although I was lucky enough to try it at the Wise Traditions conference [...]

Quick & Easy Banana Chai Smoothie

April 5, 2010

So the “Sunday Chef” took the holiday off yesterday, but I’m hoping that today’s recipe will make up for it. :) I stumbled upon this banana chai smoothie last week and rounded up the ingredients at my recent trip to the grocery store. The recipe makes one serving and only takes about eight minutes. The [...]

Easy Basil Vinegar

March 28, 2010

Since my basil plant has been growing extremely well, I’ve been trying to find more uses for it. I came across this site offering 10 uses for fresh basil and one of them was for homemade basil vinegar. The recipe reminded me of the basil vinegar my grandma used to make, so I hope this [...]

Homemade Lime & Herb Mayo

March 21, 2010

I recently came across a great recipe on Healthfoodlover.com and decided to try it out today. It can be whipped up quickly and lasts for a week in a sealed container in the fridge. I served mine over eggs and toast (as suggested by Healthfoodlover), but I think it might also be good over steamed [...]
