Although noodles are not expensive to buy, they cost only pennies to make, and you can use your own organic eggs. They are also delicious and incredibly easy to make. These noodles make a great chicken soup when cooked with a stew hen. Feel free to double this recipe. However, you will probably have to split it up into two batches to roll out, depending upon how thick … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Crustless Quiche
Crustless quiche is one of our "fast food" recipes that we fall back on when we are too busy to cook. Within a few minutes, it can be in the oven where it requires no attention for 40 minutes. We've even served this to company with great results. I shared my spinach and goat cheese quiche recipe with you a few years ago, and you can easily substitute other vegetables and … [Read more...]
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
My love of spaghetti squash is one reason I garden. Until recently you never saw it in grocery stores. Thankfully it is gaining in popularity, and I can buy it at the store if we run out of homegrown. It looks like a typical winter squash at first glance, but when you cook it, you discover that it is quite different from butternut, acorn, and all the rest. Instead of having … [Read more...]
Indian Goat and Sweet Potatoes
Although you can use goat meat in place of beef or pork in your usual recipes, I don't really like to do that. When I eat chili, for example, I expect it to taste like pork. If it tastes like goat, I just don't like it. I greatly prefer recipes that come from parts of the world where people eat goat regularly. And it makes sense that they would have figured out which spices and … [Read more...]
Gjetost
Gjetost (pronounced yay-toast) translates from Norwegian as “goat cheese,” but it is more like fudge or caramel than cheese in both flavor and the process for making it. It is not ripened. It is simply whey that has been boiled and reduced to about 20 percent of its original volume, which makes it incredibly rich. My first attempt to make gjetost was an icky failure. I wound … [Read more...]
Nigerian dwarf meat and Goat Goulash recipe
We have fallen in love with goat meat all over again, and it's all because of a goat we called Horny Dude. Time for true confessions here. In the fall of 2016, a doe gave birth to a single buckling, and she was the only goat to give birth that fall. About a month later, I was teaching a goat class, and someone asked, "When are you going to disbud that goat?" I looked to where … [Read more...]
Butternut Squash Soup is So Easy!
One of the quickest and easiest recipes I have is for butternut squash soup. This is one of my "fast food" recipes. Just cook the squash, add 3 tablespoons of butter, sprinkle with a five-spice blend (if desired), then blend it up, and pour it into bowls. One pound of squash makes two servings, and you can easily double or triple this if you have more guests or if you want … [Read more...]
Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
When I discovered I had a gluten sensitivity, it meant a huge shift in the way that I cooked. I used to eat breakfasts filled with flour -- homemade pancakes, biscuits, waffles, French toast and plain toast from our homemade bread. We had homemade rolls and bread at lunch and dinner, and we usually had some type of dessert daily, which was often made with wheat flour. … [Read more...]
It’s soup season!
As the temperatures fall, I start to crave warm beverages and soups, stews, chilis ... you get the idea. So I thought it would be fun to pull together some of my favorite soup recipes. I quit buying canned soups many years ago because they have virtually no nutrition (check the nutrition facts on the label) and are filled with too much sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. They are … [Read more...]
Can you tell the difference between edible and poisonous berries?
I recently met Helen Yoest who is an expert edible and waterwise gardener, garden stylist, and particularly an advocate for creating pollinator-friendly backyards. Lucky for me, I live in the same city as Helen so have been able to join her garden club! But even from afar you can benefit from her expertise by checking out her blog Gardening with Confidence and pollinator … [Read more...]
