· Nutrient-dense food, Veggies

Packed with nutrients and delicious to eat, kale has been one of my favorite vegetables for over 10 years now.

In case this ever happens to you, I decided to write up a recipe to use up those kale flowers. Join me as I show you how to cook kale flowers and I share our sautéed kale florets pasta recipe. It is the perfect healthy and delicious vegetarian dish for those warm summer nights.

Sourdough starter is a mixture of flour and water that has been fermented so it has active and alive cultures.

How to Make Sourdough Pizzelles

· Desserts, Sourdough

John’s mom’s side of the family is straight from Italy, and apparently pizzelles are a staple in their household. Pizzelles are basically thin little waffle-like cookies that are served as desserts, appetizers, or in our case just a healthy snack. And because you know I love using my sourdough starter, I decided to make a recipe for sourdough pizzelles that were all natural and sweetened only with maple sugar. Oh, the beauty of sourdough!

These sourdough pizzelles are the perfect gut-healthy treat, or lather them with peanut butter for lunch. So many options! With no added artificial sugar, these pizzelles are a great snack for kids too.

Brunch Menu for the Whole Family

· Farm to table Recipes, Main Dishes

One of my favorite parts about spring is the whole brunch idea! You can enjoy brunch any time of year, but spring seems to be a popular time for brunch. I just think of going to church on Easter Sunday and then coming home and enjoying brunch with a mimosa. Or Christmas Day, because we eat cookies early in the morning so the hearty brunch follows later. Even if it’s just your average Sunday, brunch is always a good idea. Your whole family will love this brunch menu!
