This was my second attempt...but successful, at Wardeh's Basic Soaked Muffins from Lesson 3 in the GNOWFGLINS Fundamentals eCourse I'm taking. SO GLAD I signed up (and so is the fam)! For my next trick, I'll be adding dried cranberries and soaked walnuts...One of my favorites.
"The NEW, IMPROVED" grilled cheese sandwich...healthy style! I made these tonight with sprouted spelt bread (just out of the oven), a combination of raw cheeses (white cheddar, colby & monterey jack) with pastured butter. Now THAT's what I'm talkin' 'bout! LOL!
I've struggled with peanut butter because I was trying to make it as healthy as possible. I finally realized I was skipping a CRUCIAL step...ROASTING! LOL! This was made with roasted peanuts...not soaked and dehydrated. My next attempt will be with some soaked/dehydrated peanuts that I have all ready to go. They WILL also be roasted. We'll see how it goes. The kids LOVED this one! This is made with...JUST peanuts! Nothing extra needed. (Blended them in my VitaMix.)
One of my proudest moments in life happened this week. I made butter! I have been trying to do this for weeks! Now, this was just a practice run, since I used storebought whipping cream. It was not ultra-pasteurized, but it WAS pasteurized and homogenized. I'll be trying again with my raw milk cream soon. I wrapped it up in wax paper. It's much bigger than a regular stick. Fits in my butter dish perfectly! Tasted wonderful!
Kefir Smoothie anyone? We tried the ones at the grocery store and became spoiled! When I finally mastered kefir, it was a big event in our house. I added some strawberries & a little raw honey. Delicious! Can't make it fast enough for the fam now!
