One day, many years ago, I made waffles and realized it was Wednesday. I jokingly told my kids it must be Waffle Wednesday! I am now contractually obligated to make waffles every single Wednesday morning because, after all, it is Waffle Wednesday. The moral of the story is that you should never, ever set up a precedent like that for children unless you are 1000% ready to deliver on it for the rest of your entire life.


Fortunately, these waffles are quick and simple to whip up and using whole wheat flour and flax meal makes them at least a *bit* healthier than the original version. Add some sliced strawberries or some blueberries and hey, now it's an entirely balanced meal. Basically.


These waffles are perfectly fluffy with a beautiful vanilla and butter scent and taste that makes the whole house smell like a breakfast diner. Add some vegan butter and real maple syrup on top and pair with some vegan sausage and scrambled tofu for a full vegan diner experience right at your own table.

Cinnamon Cardamom Dutch Baby

So if you choose to click and buy, thank you. It means a lot to us. Dutch babies are popular breakfast at our house. They're quick to make and a delicious and healthy start to the day. They also use up a few eggs when our chickens are providing more than we really know what to do with! Interestingly enough, while Dutch babies may have come from the German Pfannkuchen, the version most popular today originated in the early 1990's at a cafe in Seattle, WA. Manca's Cafe, owned by Victor Manca, is where the name Dutch Baby originated with one of his daughter's and the cafe claims they owned the trademark to the term as early as 1942! However the history goes, these have been a favorite of my family for over a decade and my kids are never sad when I announce we're having Dutch Babies for breakf...

Two Hour, No Knead Artisan Bread

When I think of a lovely little witch's cottage, I am immediately drawn to smells. Incense smoke and lemon cleaners. Honeysuckle in the summer and pine in the winter. And always, through it all, the scent of freshly baked bread. Rare is the day there's not a loaf of bread baking in my oven. It is a staple of of evening meal, the loaf sliced right as we fill our plates, the golden pad of butter sitting on the table. Some days it's a sourdough loaf I've worked on for since the night before. Sometimes a quick and simple Italian or French loaf. But more often than not, as my day is filled with other chores, tending animals and gardens and children and home, it's this bread. Perfectly crusty on the outside. To die for soft and springy on the inside. That rich yeasty taste you crave from a homemade bread. I firmly believe the difference between a house and a home is the bread that gets eaten there. This one makes the arena of homemade bread open to...
