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

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

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

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

Cranberry Bread and Cranberry Cookies | I love taking family favorites and making them “new” using “old” methods. During the recent holiday season, my daughter and I decided to do just that with two recipes that we’d read about but never actually tried, both from the "Cranberry" books by Wende and Harry Devlin: Grandmother’s Famous Cranberry Bread and Maggie's Favorite Cranberry Cookies. We're on a roll and just might keep baking our way through the other "Cranberry" books! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Cocoa Almond Crumbles | Combining almonds and chocolate was one of my many culinary dreams last fall. This combination of cocoa, nuts, and coconut is sure to please everyone. Use for easy snacks, desserts, or breakfasts. Relish this crunchy, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free delight, and/or enjoy gifting to others! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Free Video: Lacto-Fermented Guacamole | Want to make your guacamole just that much better for you? Lacto-ferment it! This natural fermentation process allows beneficial organisms to proliferate, and causes an explosion of vitamins and enzymes. The benefits to you? Better digestion and support for your immune system. This guacamole is the BEST! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Healthy Homemade Popcorn (with free video!) | Our healthy homemade popcorn tastes amazingly just like the theater -- but without any of the guilt that comes with consuming highly-processed and/or trans fat vegetable oils. My son and I made this free how-to video for you (though he did all the work). | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Lacto-Fermented Hummus | Yesterday, I made our family's traditional hummus -- a recipe handed down from my grandmother and namesake, Tata Wardee. However, there was a difference: this time I lacto-fermented it! Yeah, yeah, by now you know that I try to ferment just about everything. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Rhubarb Salsa | Every year at this time my kitchen and freezer overflow with rhubarb-laden goodies. But my favorite use for rhubarb isn't a sweet dessert, though -- it's this scrumptious rhubarb salsa. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Lacto-Fermented Roasted Red Pepper Hummus | Hummus is the only dip I make -- because of its delicious flavor and versatility. The peppers in this roasted red pepper hummus make it slightly sweet while the lacto-fermentation adds a bit of tang. It's really scrumptious! | TraditionalCookingSchool.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
