Honey Melon & Rose Smoothie
A simple blend featuring summer melons, raw honey and rose water! Sweet, floral and a great way to stay hydrated during the Summer's heat.

Spelt Shortcakes w Kombucha Macerated Strawberries & Dairy-Free Vanilla Whip
A new take on the traditional strawberry shortcake. Kombucha adds a great sour-sweetness to the strawberries which perfectly pairs with rich dairy-free vanilla whip piled high on a spelt shortcake.

This recipe was partially inspired by Dolly ...

Multigrain Buckwheat Pancakes
The first time I tried buckwheat, I wasn't a big fan; the taste is a little too "floral" on it's own for my liking, but I eat it because it's a nutritious. So, you might be wondering why I've chosen to make it a part of this recipe? Because it's completely undetectable! You would never guess that these super fluffy, light-as-air pancakes are actually very high in fiber and taste just like ...
Sweet Potato Soup with Red Lentils & Hemp Seed
Most of you can feel Spring in the air...the Daffodils and Tulips have just popped and are ripe for the picking (for the local deer, that is), and we're feverishly planning out this year's plantings. We can officially say Winter is over. And as much I love the cooler months, I am ready to welcome the sunshine, fresh garden fruits and vegetables, and time on the open water with my family. BUT, ...
