Have you ever had the desire to make sourdough bread, but thought it was too much work? I discovered this recipe in a home farm store recently. They ground and sold their own wheat. The wheat is whole grain and crushed. Wheat #1 is finely crushed and is a 1:1 ratio for replacement for all purpose flour. Wheat #2 is coarse and gives crunch, hearty taste, and fiber to the bread. Look for these freshly ground whole cell wheat flours at your local farms. They gladly share

Cheesecake is just one of those desserts I can definitely splurge on if I am not careful. We often have proteins shakes in the afternoon.

Remembering the Good ol' days I remember the days of going to my Grandma's house in Florida. They lived a modest lifestyle, but my grandmother always prepared an amazing meal! My favorite meal of my grandmother’s meals was fried chicken, butter beans, creamed corn, fried okra, and buttermilk bisquits with butter. We always looked forward to eating the most delicious biscuits. It was the kind of biscuits that you couldn't eat just one and sometimes my father would enjoy 3 o

A Tradition of Blueberry Picking Nothing beats the taste of fresh blueberries! Doug and I have a cherished tradition of picking blueberries at 5 Sons Farm in Talking Rock, GA while visiting our vacation rental Serenity Ridge Cabin in Ellijay, Ga. We love having blueberries in the freezer all year long. This means multiple trips, where we often pick gallons of blueberries for baking pies throughout the year. This year, I decided to experiment with a new recipe using a health

For this reason, here are two different recipes. The first recipe uses only 10 ingredients, but still contains awesome flavor. The second recipe is lavish for

Tacos are just one of those great comfort foods! When prepared with natural ingredients, tacos are a healthy choice for dinner. I like to make the tortillas and slaw ahead to take camping in our RV.

It's a great menu for a dinner party! A good taco always starts with homemade tortilla

Do you find it difficult to get your daily dose of multigrains? I was raised on white rice; multi-grains were not part of the food groups I learned about in elementary school. As I got older, I heard more about the importance of multigrains in our diet. It was not until the last few years when I began researching the importance of eating natural foods that I really started putting effort into getting my daily dose of multigrains. What are the benefits of multigrains? Th

Bread is one of nature's treasures, especially when you use a good whole grain flour. Sometimes, I use King Arthur Bread flour for guests who are not fans of whole grain flour. In moderation, bread is part of a nutritious diet and takes any meal up a notch or two! My friend Karin, from the Herb Crib in Blairsville, shared this amazing recipe with me from one of her workshops. I adjusted the recipe from grams to ounces. The recipe calls for olives, but I make it without o

Small fruit....big smiles! It's blueberry season, my favorite season just after strawberry season! What is better than strawberry pie? Blueberry muffins! We ventured to Blue Ridge, Ga where we set out to go blueberry picking. My husband, Doug, and I went to an orchard where they provided you with a basket, a wagon ride to the blueberry field, and acres of the most amazing blueberries. We picked our fill and then were told we could graze in the blackberry field to taste s

Every healthy diet needs a chocolate treat! Dark chocolate, nuts, and seeds support a healthy heart, decrease weight gain, and help prevent diabetes. In addition, nuts and seeds decrease inflammation, help maintain blood circulation, and help maintain blood pressure. I stumbled across a similar recipe and adapted it to meet my healthy criteria of no sugar. I also added my choice of nuts and seeds. You can adapt this recipe to use your own preferred dried fruit, nuts, and
