Kale is a great winter crop as the plant is hardy and can endure cold weather. I still have plenty of kale in my garden so I decided to try to preserve some of it by fermenting it. This is my first time trying this but I would definitely experiment again and make some changes….
Apple Pancakes
I’m always coming up with new ways to add a bit of extra fruits and veggies in our meals. This recipe gives the pancakes a nice sweet taste without adding too much sugar. Grate a medium apple and put it in the mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 egg, 1 1/2 tbsp baking…
Tea Hot Chocolate

Zucchini Flour
At the end of zucchini season, it is hard to want to eat zucchini. A great way to preserve zucchini for the winter is dehydrating and making it into flour. This way it frees up your freezer and also is a good way to add some veggies to soups, breads and even pancakes. First wash…
