Yucca, tapioca, cassava, the root with many names. As I went through my eczema elimination diet I had to avoid most bread and potato. I looked for alternatives and found the good old yucca root. I have always wondered what that weird root was. It kind of scared me. That’s when I found out that…

Monkey Bread! Not just for monkeys
Have you ever wanted a fun way for people to eat food?? Try monkey bread!! Parties and gatherings won’t be the same with this. People can grab a piece and go. To substitute buttermilk, I used plain yogurt and milk. Mix the yogurt and milk until it becomes a buttermilk consistency. In a sauce pan, put…
Two Takes on Cinnamon Buns
During my trip to Alaska, I found this recipe book. It had lots of different recipes using sour dough. There was cakes, breads and even cinnamon buns. I wanted to see if sourdough cinnamon buns were better than regular cinnamon buns so I decided to try out both recipes. The sour dough cinnamon bun recipe…

Pizza Pockets, Really??? Really!!

For the Love of Sourdough, La Creuset vs Clay Baker
I recently got a Romertop clay baker from my mom. What is a clay baker?? Clay bakers can be used for slow cooked meals. Normally clay bakers need to be soaked for 15 minutes before baking in the oven. They trap the moist air and help make the food cook at a consistent temperature. I’ve…
Milk and Honey Bread
What can be better before bed than a warm cup of honey and milk. It was always a favourite at my house. We even loved honey and milk so much we ate it with our cereal. I wanted all those memories of honey and milk so I searched for a recipe that incorporated both. Yum…
For the Love of Sourdough: Take 2 Sourdough Millet Rye Bread
For my second attempt at making sour dough, I decided to use some flours I had in my pantry. At one point, I was making, creating and trying a bunch of gluten free recipes. Both my aunt and younger sister was not eating any gluten. It was probably the toughest period of time experimenting on…
