Weekly Menu Plan

1 Comment

I am excited to have a baking day planned for today. My husband and sons love their bread, but I haven’t been buying too much of it lately because of my own personal health concerns. After seeing them devour a loaf  of sourdough bread this week with no ill consequences I realized it’s time to let bread back in, for them at least. I plan to make a soaked yeasted dough recipe until I can get a sourdough starter going. A loaf of my coconut bread and maybe these sugar-free cranberry-walnut muffins will also go into the oven.

This week’s meals are nothing unique. I have a certain amount of produce leftover from last week’s trip to the farm that I need to use up by Friday. Saturday is our "Thanksgiving share" at our CSA so we will receive 30-40 pounds of produce, which I am excited about. Shall we get to the menu….

My favorite aspect of vegetable fermentation, after all these years, is still how well it lends itself to a simple, sustainable kitchen. Sometimes its about preserving a harvest. Sometimes its about making that very specific recipe we all love. Mostly, it’s about using whatever vegetables we have on hand in an enzyme-rich food that can…

Menu Plan: Cleansing

After a long weekend I really need a menu plan to get me back into the swing of things. I am also embarking on an herbal candida cleanse, which I will tell you more about later. But during this cleanse our family is following the body ecology with a few modifications. That means no gluten,…

Molasses Honey

I love raw honey, but it is cloyingly sweet. Sometimes I want the flavor of raw honey without all of the sweetness. I have found blackstrap molasses to be a nutritious counterpoint to the super sweet honey. Nutritionally it adds manganese, copper, iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Make no mistake, blackstrap molasses is very strong,…

Friday, In The Kitchen

Golden sunshine streams through the Eastern window and I hear the milk pale swing from its hook. Boil water for coffee, chop potatoes for the skillet, and wrangle Joshie and Ruthie into chairs. Breakfast is later and later in October, in accordance with the sunrise. Stewart set aside a couple of roosters last night so right…
