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!

Sweet potato muffins v 2.0 -- coconut sugar instead of coconut nectar

You know me, I like to mix it up. Here's another recipe for sweet potato muffins, this time using coconut sugar instead of coconut nectar. My husband loves these too. My son has said they are his favourite -- yes, chocolate has been dethroned ...




1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 cup raw whole milk
1 cup water
2 organic eggs (use 3 if they are tiny)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tbsp ground vanilla bean


2 cups fine kamut flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 cup shredded sweet potato


1. combine the ingredients in the order listed
2. scoop the batter into 24 prepared muffin cups -- optional: sprinkle a little extra coconut sugar on top of each muffin before baking. Just for fun ...
3. bake in a preheated oven at 345 for 35 minutes
