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 […]

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 […]

Easy Homemade Croutons

March 7, 2010

I’ve been making my own homemade croutons recently (and not just because I ran out of store-bought ones!). They are super easy, delicious, and you can custom-make them to your own personal taste. The best part is that you can use quality ingredients of your choice and avoid any preservatives (for example, the dangerous BHT) […]

Fresh Fruit Juice Blend

March 1, 2010

Today’s recipe is quick and easy- perfect with breakfast (I pair mine with toast) or as refreshing summer beverage. I use only 3 ingredients- freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of frozen raspberries. I start by juicing one grapefruit and then two oranges. I love the […]

Homemade Chicken Liver Pate

February 21, 2010

Tonight I decided to venture out of my normal realm of cooking and into the world of organ meats. I had tried (and surprisingly liked) the chicken liver pate served at the Wise Traditions 2009 conference and decided to try it out for myself. It wasn’t too difficult and my home creation tasted just like […]

I cut the recipe in half and it still made about a good amount of butter. The ingredients needed are 1 cup almonds, about 1/3 cup coconut oil, 1 Tbsp raw honey, […]

Homemade Baked Oatmeal

February 7, 2010

I heard about a healthy baked oatmeal recipe on Nourishmd.com and tried it over the weekend. It involves a little prep the day before baking and eating, but otherwise is pretty easy and contains very basic ingredients. The reason for prepping the oatmeal the day before baking is to soak the oats in filtered water- […]
