Spicy Chocolate Gingersnaps {gluten-free & egg-free} | This recipe for gluten-free and egg-free chocolate gingersnaps is adapted from Nourishing Traditions. I liked that it used sprouted crispy almonds and arrowroot flour, making it easier to digest. I couldn't fathom a gingersnap without molasses. And all things seem to be better with chocolate. They will forever be on our list of Christmas cookies to make each year! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Fresh Bread On A Wood Stove | My family and I greatly enjoy our winters in Idaho. We look forward to the snowshoe hikes, the warmth and coziness of the fire, and the benefits of cooking on a wood stove all winter long. I love using my wood stove for our meals, baked goods, and of course, bread! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins | In the world of muffins, quick breads, pancakes, and waffles, I vary our whole-grain flours and use many that are gluten-free. After quite a bit of reading, finessing, adjusting, and trying, I achieved gluten-free muffin success! My family was excited (and surprised!) when I finally served these chocolate chip banana muffins which didn't crumble all over their plates, taste bitter, or compromise nutrition. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Beyond the (Chicken) Egg | All eggs are not created equal. By now, it is well known in the real food community that pastured chicken eggs are more nutrient-dense and healthy than their conventional counterparts. And, if you're willing to stray further off the beaten track, chickens aren't the only birds that lay delicious and healthy eggs. Quail, duck, and goose eggs are all popular alternatives to the chicken, offering variety and different nutritional benefits. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Springtime Salmon, Peas, and Rice Salad | Finally, spring has arrived! I'm so glad for the longer days, bright flowers -- and that feeling of hope that always comes with the calendar turn from March to April. You know what makes a perfect lunch for these light, breezy, sunshiny days? A salad of salmon, peas, and rice. It's simple to make, and the refreshing flavor perfectly suits the mood of this new season. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Garlic Scape Pesto | Scapes are the tall stems and unopened flower buds of certain hard-neck varieties of garlic, which should be snipped before the flowerheads mature. Then of course, eat the scapes! My favorite way is this pesto, which accompanies pasta, chicken, salmon, potato salad, and burgers beautifully. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Pickled Radish Pods | Radishes are a favorite crop in our homestead garden. They are easy to grow and we enjoy the many heirloom varieties available. Occasionally I plant more than we can eat or harvest to preserve for later, so I allow them to go to seed. The radishes produce beautiful little flowers and seed pods perfect for a garden snack! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Cottage Radish Salad | The garden was producing baby greens, green onions, radishes, and herbs. I had cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from elsewhere. That's how this salad was born. :) By topping the greens with the vegetable mixture, you get a lovely presentation and greens that stay crisp until they hit your mouth. For the most flavor, texture, and fun, be sure to get both toppings and greens in each bite! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Texas Style Salsa | People throughout the North and South American continents love salsa. Which might be an understatement! Every culture and geographical area has their own way of making it. Being native Texans, we like our salsa slightly chunky and with the bold and spicy flavors of cilantro and jalapeños. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Homemade Bread in the Sun Oven | Baking bread in a sun oven is so easy -- it yields bread with a nicely browned crust and a moist, soft inside, plus keeps your house from getting too warm in the summer and saves electricity.
