Celebrations

Holidays and special occasions call for celebration, would you agree? We all love traditional gatherings for the obvious holidays, but we also love smaller holidays and love to celebrate each one with a special menu. We love a good 4th of July themed picnic, Valentine's Day treats everyone will love, or "Game-Day" appetizers and entrees made in the Instant Pot.

Consider this your one-stop-shop to every celebratory menu you'll ever need. Looking for a Thanksgiving menu (for 5 special diets)? Or maybe you'd like a "Real-Food Makeover" for your Christmas menu? We've got it!

Category: Celebrations

I would argue that Valentine's Day exists for the food. Beyond the shiny gifts, the whole idea of the day is to connect intimately with one you love. And here is a collection of real food recipes to help set the tone for celebration and romance! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Sprouted Strawberry Shortcake | Strawberries are perfect on their own, but I love adding them to a lightly sweetened dessert (like... shortcake!) for a spring treat. For this recipe, I use a sprouted pastry flour to create a slightly sweet biscuit baked as one large disk. Top with strawberries or any seasonal fruit! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

They're made with sprouted flour and all-natural raspberry jam so they're easier to digest! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Soaked Pumpkin Bread | Spiced baked goods and warm tea fit the turning weather here in Oregon. I like the cozy, sheltered feel of the clouds and enjoying warming dishes again, like this pumpkin bread that's made with spelt and soaked for maximum digestion and nutrition. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

5-Spice Apple Chutney {lacto-fermented} | Kicked up with the Chinese 5-Spice Blend, lacto-fermented apple chutney has been rocking our house lately. I can't keep enough of it on hand for the kids. They love to put a scoop of it in a bowl of kefir. We just went through 1/2 gallon of it in 3 days -- and that was with me telling them not to take so much! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
