Chocolate Chip Muffin (Milled Soft White Wheat Berries)
Healthy muffin with freshly milled soft white wheat berries. Sweetened with honey and semi- sweet chocolate chips. Easy breakfast for on the go, busy mornings or dessert. I like making these the night before and even keeping some in the freezer. This chocolate chip muffin recipe is easy to include banana, raisins or even blueberries as well. 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…

Vanilla Ice Cream
I always thought I needed a fancy ice cream maker to enjoy fresh ice cream. Turns out, I did not need one. If you have a freezer, cream, and sugar you have the base for many different kinds of ice cream. In this recipe, I will be making the family favorite, vanilla! It is great for our family because we can add any topping we want and everyone can enjoy a fresh scoop of rich delicious vanilla ice cream. Now this is not the healthiest way to make ice cream but it is easy and tastes amazing. I use heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk (homemade or canned), and vanilla…

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Sweet, savory sourdough cinnamon rolls are a delicious way to start your day. Cream cheese frosting or buttercream adds even more sweetness on top of soft chewy rolls.

Sourdough has wild yeast and good bacteria to promote gut health and is easier to digest than traditional bread. Bread made from instant yeast usually rises in a few hours, while sourdough bread is traditionally risen for a longer time and has…

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These delicious cookies are thick and chewy with a rich molasses flavor. Every time I go over to my relatives, they request these thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. My whole family finds it hard to resist these amazing goodies. When I make cookies, it is usually the same day I travel or else they seem to disappear before I bring them to my destination. If you can make them last, the cookies do keep well for a few days in an air tight container. You can also freeze the cookies for later. I love all kinds of cookies. Although, these chewy chocolate chip cookies are my favorite and usual…

Lemon Zucchini Bread with Lemon Icing
This bread is perfectly sweet and just a hint of lemony goodness. I love making lemon zucchini bread, especially when I have an abundance of fresh summer zucchini from the garden to use up. This is a recipe you can make and freeze or enjoy the same day. My family always seems to devour it like cake before I can freeze it. First thing I do is bring out the kitchen scale, bowls, spatulas, measuring cups and spoons and ingredients. Measure out flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder in bowl. Set aside for later. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a bread pan with parchment paper or grease…
