Flavors for Kefir and Kombucha

Posted on February 15, 2018 by dep31

Ok, so I cheat. It would be better, healthier, and overall more granola to use real fruit and all, but there’s only so much time in the day. Someday I’ll get there, and then tell you all about it. In … Continue reading →

Rendering Beef Fat into Tallow

Posted on February 8, 2015 by dep31

Every once in awhile I find myself doing something which, if you’d told me twenty years ago I’d be doing, I would have thought you had gone off the deep end.  I think this is in part because God has a … Continue reading →

Chocolate chip cookies in the name of science

Posted on October 21, 2014 by dep31

I was forced – forced, I tell you – to bake chocolate chip cookies.  They were calling out to me from the ether, or my subconscious, or the Internet, which is more likely. I felt compelled to first try out a … Continue reading →

Roasted Squash Seeds

Posted on March 10, 2014 by dep31

Pumpkin seeds are all well and good… but for a truly delicate, pop-in-your-mouth seed, roast the ones from an acorn squash. First, scoop them out of the middle of the squash, and remove most of the goo. Then, boil for … Continue reading →

Posted on March 6, 2014 by dep31

Acorn squash is a quintessential winter dish around here. I found some huge (head-sized!) squash.  Cut in half lengthwise, they roast up nicely in the oven when sprayed with oil and lightly salted and peppered.  It takes about a half … Continue reading →

Baby Food: Sweet Potatoes and Brown Rice

Posted on November 25, 2013 by dep31

Posted on November 4, 2013 by dep31

Nearly every fall, I make grape juice. Nearly every fall, someone asks, “How did you make this?”, to which I reply, “With a steamer-juicer.” And, nearly every fall, I end up trying to describe, with energetic but frequently inadequate hand … Continue reading →

Fair Food for the Moose

Posted on October 7, 2013 by dep31

Surprisingly, finding gluten-free and dairy-free food for the Moose wasn’t too much of a problem at the fair.  At least, I think it was GF/DF, and he didn’t break out horribly afterwards. His particular favorite, which wasn’t a shock, was … Continue reading →

Crispy GF/DF Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on August 19, 2013 by dep31
