In other words, not everything happens the way we

In other words, not everything happens the way we expect it to. ⁠
⁠
A phrase like this helps us get a little perspective and see things in a different light. ⁠
⁠
It also reminds us that life isn’t always perfect. ⁠
⁠
Keep trying and enjoy the imperfections and unexpected gifts of life!⁠

It’s National Italian Cheese month...Let’s cel

It’s National Italian Cheese month...Let’s cele-grate! 🧀⁠
⁠
Italians know their cheeses. They are intense about the local milks they use and how those cows, goats, or sheep are fed and treated. ⁠
⁠
That’s what makes Italian cheese makers so unique - and their cheeses so delicious! ⁠
⁠
When I lived in Italy as a girl, I used to go with my mother to buy cheese directly from the farmers that made Toma in the Alps. I would watch them as they stood high on ladders, mixing a great big vat of milk cooking over a fire. ⁠
⁠
Of course, their cheese was incredible. Today, I still love shopping for local cheeses that are made with the same love and care.⁠
⁠

🍒🥧Hold onto summer with a healthy cherry pie

🍒🥧Hold onto summer with a healthy cherry pie!⁠
⁠
⁠
September is sneaking in with some crisper air, but I’m not ready to let go of summer yet! ⁠
⁠
And I’m also not one to let go of a delicious treat just because I’m trying to eat healthy. ⁠
⁠
This cherry pie gives me the best of both worlds - summer and autumn, sweet and healthy. ⁠
⁠
To maximize the nutritional value in this dessert, I’m using antioxidant-rich cherries and keeping the sugar low. You can often reduce the amount of sugar needed in recipes and never notice a difference! I am using raw cacao powder and butter as well as einkorn flour to increase protein, minerals and antioxidants.⁠
⁠
Cherry Pie with a Cacao Crumble⁠
⁠
Crust⁠
In a food processor mix 1 and ⅓ cups einkorn flour, 3 TBS sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Cut in 8 TBS unsalted butter until the butter is pea sized. Add 3 TBS cold water, mix quickly until it holds together in a ball and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.⁠
⁠
Filling⁠
Mix 2.5 Lbs fresh pitted cherries, ⅓ cup sugar, 2 TBS lime juice and ¼ arrowroot powder in a bowl. Let sit as you do the rest.⁠
⁠
Crumble⁠
Mix ½ cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup einkorn flour, 1.5 TBS Cacao powder, 1 TBS honey, 3 TBS melted Cacao butter until it all holds together in clumps.⁠
⁠
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. ⁠
⁠
Roll out dough in a deep pie dish. Put in filling. Cover with crumble and drizzle 2 more TBS of cacao butter over the top. Cover the edges of the crust with foil and cook for 55 minutes.⁠
⁠
Enjoy! 🍒⁠

Wilted lettuce got you down? Just soak it!⁠ ⁠

Wilted lettuce got you down? Just soak it!⁠
⁠
Soaking wilted lettuce in a bowl of ice water for 10-30 minutes will perk it right up! ⁠
⁠
You can also store lettuce in a bowl of water in the refrigerator to keep it crisp and slow down the oxidation process. ⁠
