Donuts made with Hard Wheat
Soft, airy and fried donuts made with hard wheat berries. These donuts are so delicious and healthier than the store bought ones. Packed full of vitamins and minerals. Plus, fried in avocado oil instead of highly processed seed oils. Top with a cane sugar, maple, chocolate glaze or cinnamon sugar. Donuts are not the best breakfast choice when looking for a healthy diet but when using freshly milled flour, I feel better about the ingredients. I use hard white wheat berries for this but hard red wheat can also be used for a nuttier flavor. I have been milling my own wheat for awhile now. When I found out about…

Pavlova
Light and fluffy, delicate dessert made with egg whites and powdered sugar. Top with whipped cream and your favorite fresh fruits! Pavlova is a meringue type cake. It has an airy outer layer that melts in your mouth, while a silky creamy interior. Sweet and delicious that gives summer freshness vibes. My whole family loves pavlova! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Between two bowls, crack and separate 5 medium to large egg yolks from the egg whites. Absolutely no yolk can get into the egg white bowl for best results. Measure out 200 grams (about 1 & 2/3 cup) of powdered sugar. Measure out 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice and…

Homemade Stovetop Popcorn
Homemade popcorn made on the stovetop with butter and salt. This snack is great for movie nights, snacking or just on the go. We grow our own popcorn because we love it so much. I will honestly make it 5 times per week. Hot fresh buttery and salty homemade stovetop popcorn is delicious and a healthy alternative to the late night cravings and junk food. I like growing all kinds of popcorn, but our family favorite are the small kernels of white popcorn. Grow popcorn just like you would sweet or dent corn during the summer months. Allow the cobs to dry on the stalks during the fall and then…

Real Marshmallows with marshmallow root
I have been enjoying "marshmallows" my whole life. Little did I know that those white puffy things from the store were not marshmallows. Those "marshmallows" were created in the 1950s with pure sugar and/or corn syrup with no benefits. I found out that real marshmallows are made from the marshmallow plant. In fact, over 2000 years ago the marshmallow treat was made from the root of this medicinal plant and provides many benefits. Benefits include gut, respiratory and immune system health, help with healing UTIs, small kidney stones, and is a natural diuretic. I make these real marshmallows with marshmallow root, honey and bovine gelatin. Start the night before by…

Homemade Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is something we always buy but I can make it myself if I need to. Learn how to make light to dark brown sugar with only two ingredients. All that is needed is sugar and molasses. My homemade brown sugar is usually on the dark side because I love the rich molasses flavoring. I use this brown sugar in my cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies. Making homemade brown sugar is very easy. I often wonder why I never tried this sooner. All I use is organic cane sugar and unsulphured molasses. When buying molasses, I look for dark and unsulphured because it is made from mature cane…
