Who can resist a crispy chewy crust personal pan pizza? This Barbecue Chicken Pizza is just perfect paired with a large garden salad for a delightful THM-E meal. Sourdough is very easy to do and makes the best pizza crust. I use low-fat cheese to keep under 6 grams of fat and use cooked chicken breast. In the summertime I process garden tomatoes into Memphis Barbecue Sauce that is wonderful on this pizza.
Pears are sometimes overlooked when it comes to the fruit aisle. For an
orchard hobbyist they are one of the easiest fruits to grow. Bosc, Bartlett, and Sickle are few of my favorite and I have canned many jars of sugar-free pears from our orchard. This dessert combines lime and pears for a tasty refreshing THM E dessert.
I decided to do an experiment with my two sourdough starters. My one starter as some of you know, is 6+ years old, has made many beautiful loaves of bread and has been sent all over the US, Canada, and even into Mexico. This starter is strictly fed with King Arthur Bread flour. The other starter is only 4 weeks old; was started and has been fed with a mixture of half King Arthur Bread flour and half white whole wheat flour commonly known as Prairie Gold Flour. There is a day to day blog post when I started this starter with pictures and detailed instructions.
Our daughter spent two years living in the loving country of Nicaragua at a Christian Mission as a relief worker. We, as a family, traveled to see her and acquired a taste for native food. Black Beans and Rice soon became a favorite in our house. In Nicaragua a thin sour cream is served with this dish. I will at times use fat-free Greek Yogurt but most often just hot sauce and a few tomatoes. This meal may look complicated but with the use of a Crockpot and Insta-pot it is a very simple economical meal to put together. I always make a double recipe so I can have leftovers for the next day.
I have come to love my Insta-pot, especially when it comes to cooking dried beans, meats, and rice. Our family likes baked beans but so many are filled of sugars and preservatives. This easy to make recipe uses dried navy beans for a very filling tasty side dish to a meal.
Quick and easy meals — we all love them, don’t we? Mondays are hectic days for me as a mother of eight. My laundry room usually has this enormous mound of dirty wash waiting for my attention. Our family has come to expect simple meals and this is one of my favorites. Everything can be done in the Insta-Pot and all I need to do is add cornbread or a salad to finish out the meal. Any leftovers are saved for lunches the next day.
Sourdough bread is so fascinating to me. I love to experiment with different ways, methods, and with my large family, they eat it right up. This method is very easy and the gluten is developed by the stretch and folds. It is a simple recipe that only uses 5 ingredients and is just stirred together using a large spatula or spoon. I found my clay baker at a thrift store for just a few dollars and I love it.
The key to a successful sourdough baking day is a mature starter. I do send small jars of starter for the cost of $6 for packing/shipping. Message me if you are interested in starter.

Continue readingOatmeal is a comfort food to me. As a young girl, my mother often made cooked cereal for breakfast because it was a very economical dish. My children prefer Baked Oatmeal but I still enjoy a simple bowl of oatmeal. It is so handy to keep a couple jars of these dry ingredients in my pantry and in a few minutes my breakfast is ready. This is just as easy as those bought packets of oatmeal but so much healthier. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Pumpkins, gourds, squash, shocks, hay bales, and Indian corn bring lots of color to the local road side stands in our area. Crisp, cool mornings call for steaming cups of coffee and a hearty breakfast. Pumpkin pancakes are a delightful twist to an old-time favorite breakfast staple. These soft, fluffy pancakes are so good dotted with just a bit of butter and sugar-free pancake syrup. You can also, freeze these pancakes to be popped into the toaster on busy mornings.

Soft, chewy Sourdough Flat-breads–have you ever looked at them at a restaurant or store and wish you could have one? You can! These are one of the easiest breads to make. Sourdough Flat-breads do not need a mature starter because you do not need the high rise as you do with a loaf of bread. You can make them with a starter that is a week old. If you see your bread dough isn’t rising properly as it should, you can save it by making flatbreads. Honey Oat Sourdough Bread, Multi-Grain Sourdough Bread, Soft Rye Sourdough Bread, and Tomato Basil Sourdough Bread recipes can be used to make flatbreads. The dough can be mixed and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making the flatbreads as you need them. This Tomato Basil Dough was in the fridge for 24 hours. I removed enough to make 1 flatbread for lunch. 
Sourdough Flat-breads THM-E
Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Take an egg size piece of sourdough. With a rolling pin, roll dough into a rectangle that is 1/8 inch thick. Lightly spray the griddle with cooking spray. Lay the dough on the hot griddle, stretching as needed. Fry until the edges start to look like they are baked. 
Flip the flatbread to cook the other side.
If you are using Honey Oat Sourdough recipe the flatbread will be lightly browned when you flip it. With the Tomato Basil Sourdough you will not see browning as quick. Repeat making as many flat-breads as desired. One flatbread is an THM-E serving.
The Tomato Basil Flatbread pictured at the top had a Tuna Patty, Chipotle Sandwich Sauce, lettuce, onions and tomatoes for an E meal with Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles as a side.
