Welcome to my crazy world of real food cooking ...

Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan

I wish I could take credit for that because I think it sums up how we should eat. Simply -- eat stuff that really is food, instead of stuff that is food like substance. The supermarket is almost entirely food-like-substances, and, my friends, you should probably never ever eat them.

Fortunately, there is a world of deliciousness out there, and it can all be had in a way that not only doesn't harm your health, but in a way that benefits you hugely.

I think it's important to eat stuff that satisfies you, that keeps your blood sugar stable, and that gives you stuff your body really needs to run optimally.

But baby, it's gotta taste good.

I really like getting experimental in the kitchen. I love cooking, I love layering flavours, and I love coming up with really super yummy food. I have very strong opinions about what constitutes food, and there are a lot of things I won't touch in the kitchen. Bottom line? Pretty much everything I make is ridiculously good for you even if it tastes decadent. Although there are occasional big fat cheats ... but even those stick to real food, my friends.

For food that is usual gluten free, usually free of cane sugar, usually super low on the glycemic index, full of protein, fiber, flavour, and excellent energy, join me and Alice down the rabbit hole.

Every recipe on this blog is my own original effort and idea, so please pass 'em on, giving credit where credit is due.

Many thanks, and come back often. I'm really glad you are here!

Honey Cookies with hemp flour and lotsa seeds

Mama got a brand new batch of hemp flour. It's good stuff. Be prepared, I warn you, for some recipes featuring this quite fabulous ingredient.

For cookies that are gluten free and high in protein, you can give these a whirl.






ingredients:

1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
1/2  cup unpasteurized honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 eggs

1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp ground vanilla bean
1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup flax meal
1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup hemp flour
1 1/2 cups almond flour


directions:

preheat the oven to 345

1.  combine the ingredients in the order listed
2. drop by spoonful on a lined baking sheet
3. flatten with a wet fork
4. bake at 345 for 14-16 minutes
5. store when fully cool in an airtight container

These might disappear from the cooling rack when your back is turned.
