Contrary to what previous studies have shown, coconut oil is actually very good for you! I often start my day with a tablespoon of coconut oil, no I don’t just eat it by itself! I melt it and put it in a smoothie or put it in my oatmeal sometimes, but my favorite way to […]
I really wanted to title this post, “Real Men Cook with their Wives!” But I thought “Oat Waffles” might be more accurate for search engine purposes ;)
I must say, cooking is not my husband’s forte, but I love how he is always willing to help me out when I need it. He made this batter […]
I think I’ve mentioned before that scones are one of my weaknesses in life? Well, they are! I was pleased with this recipe, and although the picture doesn’t show, the first time I added currents and I liked them much better. They turned out just moist enough :) I got lots of compliments on this […]
My kids are not huge fans of fruit desserts, pies and such. So I thought I would try this cobbler recipe from my “Best of Country Pies” recipe book that I got from my mom a few years ago. The kids loved this dessert! It was pretty cakey and less juicy/fruity :) So if you […]
This ice cream or sorbet was perfect! The kids had a blast making it with our new juicer and it was so fast and easy. The best part about it is that it’s so healthy, you could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nothing added, just frozen fruit. Half the fruit I froze myself […]

This breakfast dish is truly a delicacy. My mom has always made this dish for special occasions such as Christmas morning or even just a lazy Saturday morning when there wasn’t too much work to be done around the farm. This past Christmas she, along with the help of my brother-in-law, made this our families […]
I got this recipe from Pinch My Salt, and I altered it from her recipe. She made it with all-purpose white flour and I decided to try it with whole wheat and I was surprised at how much I liked it. I like dry crumbly scones and these turned out lovely. Instead of glazing my […]
When I lived in Costa Rica this was a staple that we ate about three times a day! Very tasty and good for you! I use brown rice and cook a little longer, it tastes great that way. Now we enjoy this meal at least once a week for dinner and a couple times a […]
Since I started the Raw Food Detox Diet I’ve been drinking one of these shakes every morning. I was quite surprised at how well it tastes! She suggested this shake especially for women who are pregnant and starting the diet. I was also surprised to find out how much it filled me up, and I’m […]
