Real Food Holiday Recipe Roundup: 398 Wholesome Recipes

diana's sprouted bread

I thought of this recipe roundup again as I was pondering all of the amazingly delicious and nourishing recipes that are available throughout the blogosphere for the holidays this year. It can be tough to find "real food" recipes. I know, because I've gone to local stores and looked around online and found little.

breakfast-casserole-on-plate

I grew up eating a "wife-saver" casserole each Christmas morning, with eggs and bacon and Corn Flakes crumbled on top.

Pancakes and waffles are a more typical "fancy" breakfast around our house, as we all love to smother them with our frozen berries we pick each summer, and a big ol' dollop of whipped [...]

Using Sourdough in Wonderful and Unusual Ways

bowl-of-sourdough-crackers

I tend to be a creature of habit. I like to do things the usual or "normal" ways. I color inside the lines. I like clothes in classic styles that match easily. I prefer using tried and true recipes or simply adapting an existing recipe rather than creating my own from scratch. It shouldn't surprise you, then, to know that I use my sourdough starter for making (what else?) bread. Just bread. How much I've missed by believing that sourdough is only good for bread [...]
