  • Smoked Gouda and Pimento Cheese Recipe

    Smoked Gouda and Pimento Cheese Recipe

    I won’t make any jokes about how gouda this tastes. I had it a few times from a deli, but the price kept me from picking it up more often. One day while looking longingly at the little carton trying to work it in the budget, a light (finally) came on. There was a cheese case right behind me! Duh, make it myself.

  • Whole Wheat Waffles

    I made these waffles I found at 100daysofrealfood.com. I changed ‘em up a little and had to share because they were so easy. The boy, notoriously picky, grudgingly said, “I’ll take a taste.” His taste made him literally yell “Holy Moly!” It also turned into asking for more three waffles later.

    This batter was exceptionally quick to make in the Vitamix by just tossing all the ingredients together, including the whole wheat berries, and turning it on for about ninety seconds.

  • Whole Wheat Biscuits

    Whole Wheat Biscuits

    While preparing biscuits this morning, I realized that I had not posted how I make mine. I adapted this whole wheat recipe from the best biscuit recipe I ever used (link at bottom) when I cooked with processed flour.

    These don’t usually last too long around here.

  • Wheat/Flax Minute Bread

    I chose to call this recipe minute bread and not minute muffin because of the way I use it. Cooked in a bowl and sliced in half it works great as a bun to hold a hamburger or bacon and eggs.

    If you want a really low-carb version, leave out the wheat and use 1/4 cup of flax. You end up under 4 net carbs that way.  This recipe is fun to play with adding different seasonings/flavors.

    Ingredients
    1. 1 Sweet Potato
    2. 3/4 Cup Baby Purple Potato
    3. 1/2 Large White Onion
    4. 1 Jalapeño
    5. 2 Slices American Cheese
    Preparation
    1. Heat some bacon grease (that’s the best) to medium high heat in a cast iron skillet. If it smokes, it is too hot.
    2. Dice the sweet potatoes and the purple potatoes. Mine are never uniform and vary between 1/4″ & 1/2″ pieces.
    3. Cut the onion into similar sized pieces
    4. Slice jalapeño into thin slices. (Optional – Remove the seeds to remove the heat)
    Cooking
    1. Carefully place all ingredients, except the cheese, into the skillet.
    2. Cook about twenty minutes until sweet potatoes start to brown. More or less depending on heat of oil.
    3. While Cooking, season to taste with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Not being shy with any of these is key to making this a great dish.
    Serving
    1. Remove from skillet and while still hot place a single slice of cheese on top.
    Tips
    1. If you like your potatoes cooked a little more than slightly browned, wait about five minutes to add the sliced jalapeño to prevent overcooking.
    2. Do Not use anything labeled “Cheese Product.”
    Options
    1. Not a fan of bacon? Use butter or coconut oil instead.
    2. Fan of bacon? Cook some first, use it’s grease and crumble it into the mix.
    3. If you are really hungry or need this meal to last a while, top each one off with a fried egg.

  • Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    These muffins prepared from freshly ground wheat pack enough punch to carry you through the morning without filling yourself with completely useless calories. The coconut sugar provides nutrients (read more) as do the completely unrefined carbohydrates from the wheat berries.

    The Vitamix blender makes this as simple as dumping the ingredients into the container and turning it on for 90 seconds.

    Yields 12
    Delicious, kid-approved muffins without all the garbage. As always, all ingredients should be certified organic.

    Ingredients
    1. 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    2. 1 teaspoon salt
    3. 1 tablespoon honey
    4. 2 teaspoons instant yeast
    5. 1 teaspoon baking soda
    6. 1 3/4 cups whole milk
    7. 3 tablespoons salted butter
    8. 1 large egg
    Instructions
    1. Combine the dry ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk/stir them together.
    2. Beat egg.
    3. Heat milk and butter on low heat in a saucepan just until butter melts.
    4. Remove from heat and stir in honey.
    5. Add liquid and egg to dry ingredients.
    6. Run mixer with dough-hook until dough forms a ball. You can alternatively do this by hand.
    7. Roll out on floured surface to about 1 inch thick and cut out the muffins using a large cookie cutter.
    8. Place muffins on baking sheet and cover for twenty minutes.
    9. Heat cast iron, or other non-stick, skillet to medium low heat.
    10. Cook muffins about five minutes each side until browned. (preheat oven to 325 about now)
    11. Place in oven for 20 minutes.
    Notes
    1. I assume it is from the fresh whole wheat but fifteen minutes left the inside a little too moist.
