these can be chocolate with hazelnut, peanut, or almond. i know i’m a bit late for valentines but there is always next year, also no day is the wrong day to eat chocolate tarts.
chocolate hazelnut tarts
raw buckwheat walnut porridge
another delicious breakfast! i’ve seen recipes for buckwheat porridge here and there for a while, and it never sounded appealing but i decided to give it a try and it is so delicious! post-cleanse this is staying in our breakfast rotation! super easy, you can make batches ahead of time, packs up well, nutritious and filling.
no-sugar granola w/ sprouted buckwheat and quinoa
i’ve never made a granola without any sweetener (maple syrup? agave? no way friends) but this turned out pretty well! a little bit of berries or pear on top goes a long way for sweetness. it is part of our cleanse time and we needed a quick breakfast to have on hand (i miss you toast) so i whipped this up. it is partially based on this recipe from Green Kitchen Stories, using the sprouted buckwheat and quinoa and then going off on my own from there.
cleansing and laking
after spending all of christmas, the lead up to christmas and after christmas eating delicious garbage (noodles! cookies! huge brunches!) all the time we are doing a “cleanse”. this mostly means giving our bodies a break from sugar, booze, flour, anything processed, that sort of thing. it’s not extreme but if you’re looking for gravy and pizza recipes in the next month or so, maybe change your expectations. i will have a lot of tasty recipes coming up, just simpler less indulgent ones.
before embarking on this cleanse, we went and stayed on a beautiful lake on Salt Spring Island and cooked and lazed and wined and hiked and canoed and relaxed.
some last hurrah brunches (tempeh rancheros, yeasted waffles w/ pear, tofu scramble)
wholewheat rose shortbread
i don’t even like shortbread but i sure like these.
