Turkish Sun Jams

Many years ago while doing a study abroad program in Morocco, we spent a lot of time eating the best bread and apricot jam I have ever had. We ate it for breakfast, lunch and even just for a snack.

This last week our local farmers market was chock full of tasty sun-ripened apricots. I bought a bunch and made a delicious apricot jam. Unfortunately, it rained non-stop and I was unable to finish it in the sun, but if you have the opportunity to do so, your jam will be better than you imagine. Apricots are full of vitamin A and potassium among other things. BC Apricots are amazing!

Almond Torte with Cream & Cherries

Almond Torte with Cream & Cherries

Last night I decided to try an almond torte with cherries and cream. The BC cherries are fantastic and I get raw cream from our local herd-share fresh every week, in fact I have just gotten back from picking up my share. The almonds probably come from California. I did find a online farm-stand t ...

Carrot and Ginger Soup

Carrot and Ginger Soup

This soup is a staple in our diet. We have it at least once a week generally! Usually I make bone broth a couple times a week and as soon as the stock is ready I make up this carrot soup. It has gone through quite a few variations over time. The spices and types of meat that go into it can easily be ...

Traditional Spritz

Traditional Spritz

When I was a kid, my favorite recipe to make at Christmas were Swedish spritz cookies. I used to get up at dawn and pinch a few of them from the cookie jar to nibble in bed before anyone else was up. In those days I was using refined sugar and flour, but I think originally these cookies were made wi ...

GAPS / SCD Diet, Cancer and Fungus

A big thanks to everyone for their kind words of support over the past week or so since we found out that my mother has cancer in her pancreas. :-( Sorry I haven't been communicating this last week, we got the news and then had to get our taxes done, which was a bit pain in the neck. We are also tak ...

MOB 105 – Liver Paté

MOB 105 – Liver Paté

This episode was the first one that we filmed for Mouth of Babes and one of our favorite recipes. A big thanks to FoxFire Farms for supplying the rich and nourishing organic grass-fed lamb liver. I love their slogan, 'meat you can trust.' There is definitely a completely different energy cooking ...

Liver Paté

Liver Paté

I never knew I could like liver until I had paté! Fantastic stuff, especially if you have the right combination of spices and a touch of lime or something sour. This recipe uses the wonderful combination of onions, garlic and ginger that I love so much from Burmese and other Asian dishes. Mix and m ...
