Fire Cider

10/15/2020

Fire Cider is a popular herbal folk remedy. This raw infused vinegar gets its pleasant fiery kick from garlic, onion, ginger, hot peppers and horseradish! Once you try it, you won’t be able to deny it’s warming, wonderful properties.
We use it daily in Fall and Winter to stimulate digestion and boost the immune system, but it’s fine to use year-round if you need some support.

This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare, and about 1 month to steep!

Make this early in the season so you have it in your pantry!

Elderberry Syrup

10/8/2020

This syrup is a lifesaver in my house. We take 1 teaspoon morning and evening from Fall through early Spring as a nourishing, immune supporter[1]. Also, at the first sign of a sniffle or funky feeling in the throat, we start taking 1-3 teaspoons more of this crimson beauty daily until it passes. Elderberry is proven to reduce the duration of illness and help prevent it in the first place![2]
Makes about 3 cups of alcohol-free syrup or 4 cups with alcohol.
Time involved: 1 hour

Immune Boosting Tonics

9/29/2020

In cold and flu season, we have a tendency to run to the nearest pharmacy and grab the latest OTC 'cure' to make us feel better.
But do they really?
Adding chemicals and pharmaceutical toxins into the body could have the opposite affect on your immune system.
Research has shown that ibuprofen is one such culprit that can interfere with optimal antibody production needed for a strong immune system. (1)
Prevention is the key and a yummy one at that.
Incorporating healthy immune boosting tonics and teas regularly will help to strengthen your immune system and help soothe the body and recover faster.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Tahini-Miso Sauce

This addictive three-ingredient sauce can go on anything. Make a double batch and spoon the extras over just about any meat, your next grain bowl, or thin it out with a little extra vinegar and use it as a salad dressing.

Easy Chicken Miso Ramen Soup

9/22/2020

Still with the soup theme this week I offer you a look at a twist on the traditional chicken soup but so much more.
Adding fermented foods to your dishes incorporates many benefits including probiotics and several nourishing
Miso is fermented paste made from barley, rice or soybeans, miso adds a nice umami flavour to dishes. It's bold, so a little goes a long way (which is good because it's also high in sodium). Miso is typically found in soups, but also makes salad dressings and marinades even more delicious and gut healthy.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup

9/15/2020

The cooler season is starting to shift our eating habits. Staying true to our harvest as well we incorporate some nutritious sweet potatoes to help with our gut health this month.

Sweet potatoes contain fibre and antioxidants that promote the growth of good gut bacteria and contribute to a healthy gut.

Greater amounts of these types of bacteria within the intestines are associated with better gut health and a lower risk of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and infectious diarrhea.

Easy Homemade Guacamole

9/6/2020

Here is a really great recipe....for those of you that like recipes.

I like it, but as you may know, I'm a 'throw it together' kind of cook. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, that's how I learned to cook and learned what flavours work together and which ones don't.

This recipe is great, but for an even easier, "GOTTA HAVE IT KNOW" recipe simply take your ripe avocados, mash them up and add some salsa to the right consistency. You can add a extra splash of lime or lemon juice, more crushed garlic if you like and dig in.

And as always, You're Welcome.

A garden full of potatoes, two hungry men and their love for comfort foods.
Add what you would normally put on nachos and have fun with it.
This recipe has become a hit in our home. I hope you enjoy.
