Traditional Poutine: Fries, Gravy, Cheese Curds, Oh My!

Posted on July 29, 2013 Written by 2 Comments

homemade real food poutine

Poutine is quite simple: fries, brown gravy, and cheese curds.  Simply delicious!  Poutine is comfort at it’s best, full of satisfying starches from the potatoes, a salty edge from the cheese curds, and velvety homemade gravy full of naturally occurring gelatin.

I think of poutine as one of those dishes that is a cross between bar food and an elegantly elevated dish.  But no matter how you classify it, it is full of nourishing fats if you use the best ingredients possible: grassfed cheese curds, homemade gravy with beef bone broth, and organic potatoes fried in coconut oil.

How to Make Cinnamon Chips

Posted on February 4, 2013 Written by 8 Comments

cinnamon chips chocolate chip only better!

What are cinnamon chips?  Well, they are like chocolate chips only better!  The first time I even knew what cinnamon chips were was during my 3 year stint in Michigan while I worked at a bread store and bakery.  My favorite bread that we made there was a loaf of whole wheat cinnamon bread with oatmeal, dates, and…cinnamon chips!

Most cinnamon chips that you can buy commercially are made with palm oil, white sugar, non-fat dry milk, and an emulsifier like soy lecithin.  Fortunately, my cinnamon chip recipe is only four ingredients, and has a beautiful texture without the aid of any questionable additives.  [Read more…]

Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup

Butternut Cupcake with Cardamom Buttercream

Butternut Cupcake with Cardamom Buttercream

Well I don’t know about you, but this year Thanksgiving really snuck up on me.  I was talking to my husband yesterday and he mentioned that his sister was flying into town this week and I was jolted into reality.  It’s time to make pies!  Thanksgiving is next week!

I love making pie.  I also love roasting turkey, making green bean casserole, soaking buttermilk biscuits, mashing potatoes and whisking gravy.  But my real love is pie.  Jack Handy said it best:

“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmmm, boy.”

Exactly.  There’s a reason I have three different pie dough recipes up on Our Nourishing Roots, and that was all within the first year of recipes!  Join me over the next week as I make a series of pies and share the pictures here and on my Facebook page.  I cannot promise pie heaven, but I think we will come close.

REAL FOOD 101: How to Make Chocolate Syrup

Posted on September 26, 2012 Written by 9 Comments

This post is part of a series.  To buy Volume One of the e-book containing several REAL FOOD 101 tutorials, click here: REAL FOOD 101 E-book: Traditional Foods, Traditionally Prepared.

If there was one food that I remember from when I was pregnant with both of my boys, it would be chocolate milk.  It was so cold and slightly sweet and settling to my tummy.  And did I mention that it’s delicious?

Even now, if I ever have a hankering for a little sweet snack: chocolate milk is the go to for my body.  I especially like that I can use whole, raw milk when I drink a tall glass of my favorite chocolate milk.  It’s tasty, cold, and it’s still good for me: the magnesium from the cocoa, the minerals from the whole cane sugar, the enzymes and healthy fats from the raw milk.  Heaven!

Bread & Butter Pickles

Posted on August 22, 2012 Written by 9 Comments

Bread and Butter Pickles | OUR NOURISHING ROOTS #naturalsweetener #ferment #realfood #cultured #diy

I have to admit that as a child I loved zesty pickles but really really hated bread & butter pickles.  The cloying sweetness of a commercially-made vinegar-based bread & butter pickle was just so one dimensional.  Like with many things, the real food version is so much better than anything from a national brand.

Enter the lacto-fermented bread & butter pickle.  The flavors are balanced, slightly salty, slightly savory, and slightly sweet.  They are perfect as a probiotic component of any meal, but especially in a chicken salad or on a grass-fed hamburger.

This post is part of a series.  To buy Volume One of the e-book containing several REAL FOOD 101 tutorials, click here: REAL FOOD 101 E-book: Traditional Foods, Traditionally Prepared.

Preserved lemons are bright, complex, soft, and a perfect addition to a savory meal.  Plus, if you’re like me and you just need to eat the peels of anything citrusy, then these lemons are the end all be all of probiotic sides.

There are many ways to make lacto-fermented fruits and vegetables.  The combinations are virtually limitless.  Adding garlic or spices or herbs can deepen the flavor profile, add color and interest, and help you find culinary expression in your own kitchen.

Fleur De Sel Dark Chocolate Macadamia Nuts

Fleu De Sel Chocolate Macadamia Nuts | OUR NOURISHING ROOTS

Salted caramel is all the rage these days, such as in my grain-free shortbread with salted caramel.  But salted chocolate is arguably easier to make.  Just don’t make me pick between the two.  I won’t do it!

I love how simple but elegant this recipe is.  Isn’t that always the case with real food?  Rich, decadent chocolate, macadamia nuts, and crunchy fleur de sel sea salt are the perfect combination for a high-brow, simple and elegant sweet morsel.

Honey-Coconut Milk Ice Cream (GAPS)

Posted on July 27, 2012 Written by 10 Comments

honey coconut milk GAPS ice cream

Rich coconut milk and gentle honey, flecked with vanilla bean and all blended together into cool, icy GAPS ice cream won’t have you missing the raw cream.  I promise.  As yummy as cream is…I mean look at those flecks of vanilla bean!  I’m always a sucker for those.

This dairy-free ice cream is perfect for those with a true lactose intolerance or milk protein allergy.  Coconut milk is a traditional food, contains plenty of good fats, and thickens up beautifully in this recipe to make a decadent dessert that is gentle and nourishing.

Plus, this simple recipe is easy to whip up, and is even completely GAPS-legal for those who miss having ice cream! [Read more…]
