Honey Apple Crisp Pie
When sweet fall apples are ready to harvest, use and preserve, I find myself wondering what to make. I love pie and apple crisp. So instead of choosing one or the other, I make both together. This honey apple crisp pie has the best of both worlds. Sweet baked topping with a buttery layered pie crust. Plus, I use as little sugar as possible by substituting in raw honey. Honey is more natural and easier to digest than sugar. I use local raw honey, raw milk butter, freshly milled flour and freshly rolled oats in this honey apple crisp recipe. As for apples, I like to mix it up and…

Caramel Sauce made with Honey (Sugar Free)
Sweet creamy caramel sauce made with raw honey instead of sugar. I use real raw milk butter and cream plus vanilla to make a healthier dipping sauce. My kids love dipping apples into caramel sauce for an afternoon snack. This recipe makes about 11 fluid ounces or just under 1&1/2 cup of caramel sauce. It only takes around 15 minutes to make and can be doubled or tripled to store for later use. In a heavy bottom medium sauce pan, add 1/2 cup (168 grams) of honey. Heat honey on medium low, stirring constantly until honey is simmering and changes to a more golden color, about 3 to 5 minutes.…

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with soft white wheat
Chocolate chip banana bread made with soft white wheat berries. This bread is soft, moist and deliciously sweet. Plus it is made with freshly milled flour for added health benefits. We enjoy this bread for breakfast or dessert! I have been milling my own wheat for awhile now. When I found out about the chemicals and toxins in the store bought flour, I knew I had to make a big change. Thankfully the processes of milling flour is easy. Only one more step was added to my baking steps. Freshly milled flour has more nutrients and minerals than the flour from the store. This is because, when milling flour, the…

Graham Crackers with Freshly Milled Flour
Mr. Graham invented the Graham cracker in 1829. He used only fine ingredients, including the "Graham flour". The "Graham flour" was simply freshly milled whole wheat that contained the bran, germ and endosperm. Freshly milled flour is highly nutritious and packed full of vitamins and minerals. It was intended to be eaten as a healthy snack. Today, the "Graham" cracker is a far cry from the original recipe. It contains chemically made vitamins, artificial flavor, soy lecithin, seed oils, bioengineered food and often glyphosate sprayed wheat and sugar. Now, I have a recipe similar to the delicious Graham cracker with freshly milled flour. I have been milling my own wheat…

Semi-Sweet Chocolate made with coconut oil and honey
Semi-sweet chocolate made with coconut oil and honey is dark and rich. It has a smooth melt in your mouth feel with a hint of refreshing coconut. This recipe contains only healthy ingredients. I pour the chocolate into bar and chip molds to add to my favorite baked treats. Store bought chocolate like this is very expensive and hard to find. Melt 1/4 cup coconut oil in pan. Take off heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until completely dissolved and silky smooth. Pour chocolate into bar or chip molds. I use these bar molds and these chip molds.…

Raw Milk Yogurt in the Oven
This yogurt is packed full of probiotics and made with real raw milk. It is thick and creamy with a Greek yogurt taste. I add honey and fresh fruit to sweeten it or use it as a sour cream substitute. All I use is raw milk and previously made yogurt as a culture. Plus no special tools, just a stovetop, oven, pot and towels. My family enjoys the benefits and taste of this raw milk yogurt. Whether you have a dairy cow or pick up raw milk at a local drop, this recipe works perfectly to use up and repurpose raw milk. I have not tested it with pasteurized milk…

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…
