When we moved last year, I had no garden to speak of at the new house to plant my garlic (nor the time to make one with all the renovations) I had a mild panic attack!! NO GARLIC???? How would I survive?? Alright, I may be over exaggerating just a bit, but I did have to get creative and carve out a small spot of my front garden bed late in the fall to get it in the ground. I managed to get over 100 heads of garlic planted in a very tiny spot. Crisis averted! We will not be without garlic this year, or scapes!!<br />
I harvested all of the scapes last week, and have been trying to eek out some time to get them used up. (they do store quite well in the fridge...in an airtight container you'll get at the very least a few weeks out of them!)<br />
<br />
After work today, I had some time and lots of ambition (keto Popsicles, BBQ chicken, this pesto, and a big batch of scape and basil <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.com/2017/07/garlic-scape-lemon-compound-butter.html" target="_blank">compound butter</a> ) This pesto recipe, I am embarrassed to say, has been sitting in my drafts for a year folks...a year!!! Note the date on the little jar of pesto below...2017!!!!!! This tells you how busy my last year has been!!! ) The garlic itself looks almost ready to pull as well. This southern Ontario heat wave has certainly helped!<br />

I've been on a bit of a ...digestive journey?... for lack of a better way to put it! With the help of my naturopath, I feel like I am making some headway in my digestive health, but it has definitely changed the way I have been eating, as well as my creation of new recipes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been a journey...I've been off dairy, back on dairy, and now off all soy, cane sugar, and potatoes, (which includes arrowroot and tapioca starch...for those that have followed my baking in the past...you will understand the lack of baking!!) But...I am feeling much better digestively, so I am more than willing to keep following this path! One major thing that I have noticed is my almost complete lack of sweet tooth now. The only sweetener I have used lately is the <a href="https://lakanto.ca/" target="_blank">Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener </a>, but very sparingly. I find I am not missing sugar at all!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, here's were we enter the Keto craze! Being very similar to the way I've already been eating lately, I decided to give it a go, and see if I could budge some of the weight I have slowly and steadily put on over the past few years. After figuring out my Macros (thanks to my son...lol) and using a tracker to log my meals, I am making progress! But...you all know me well...my creative cook side has been dying to come up with some Keto friendly treats...which leads us here today! I love pannacotta, it is such an easy but elegant dessert for hot summer days. I used my <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.com/2017/07/espresso-panna-cotta.html" target="_blank">regular pannacotta recipe</a> from this blog as a guide, and created this one, that is both Keto friendly and delicious!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the very first Keto recipe I have posted, but if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/janinephillpot/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, I have posted pic's of many meals over the past few weeks. If there is anything posted there you would like to see written out, let me know!! </div>

any as this coconut milk already has a bit of coconut sugar in it, and I find it
perfectly sweet enough for me)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Measure your water into a small pot. Sprinkle the gelatin
evenly over the water and let sit for about 8 minutes. After the 8 minutes,
place over low heat and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Don’t boil!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it is completely dissolved, add the can of evaporated
coconut milk and stir well. Add additional sweetener of choice here if using!)
Stir well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pour into 6 small containers (I use small mason jars with lids.
Great for storage and my lunch bag!, but small ramekins would work as well. )</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chill for a minimum of 2 hrs before serving to give it time
to set well, especially if you are going to unmold it to plate!</div>

will leave funky patterns on the edge of your pannacotta…not so pretty!!)
around the edge of the jar or ramekin, turn upside down, and with a gentle shake, unmold your panna cotta onto
serving plate. </div>

Alternatively, place topping on top of panna cotta in serving container and serve as is! (see picture below of a regular panna cotta with a mango topping for inspiration!)</div>

½ of the clamshell container!)cut in ½ or ¼’s, depending on the size of your

minutes, or until your rhubarb is softened up nicely. Remove from oven and set
aside to cool slightly( 10-15 min). Stir in the chia seeds and let stand for approx 20
minutes, stirring often. This will thicken up the liquids and give a loose jam

Some days, you just need to bake (well...I do anyway...!!!) Those who know me well are aware that when my stress level gets high, nothing calms me like some kitchen time, with the music cranked (and sometimes a glass of wine...it helps with the whine :) ) </div>

We have alot going on right now, with buying and selling a house, packing, </div>

A bit of searching for a recipe, and with all of these ingredients on hand, I bravely unpacked my food processor and gave it a go. It matched the flavour of the loaf perfectly, and was not too rich or sweet. I will definitely use it again! </div>

<br />
<u>Grain Free Zucchini Loaf</u><br />
<br />
1/2 cup coconut flour<br />
<br />
1/3 cup of kefir or yogurt<br />
<br />
4 eggs, preferably pastured<br />
<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
<br />
1/3 cup coconut sugar<br />
<br />
1/3 cup organic coconut oil, softened<br />
<br />
1 tsp organic cinnamon<br />
<br />
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg<br />
<br />
Pinch of cloves<br />
<br />
<i>Whiz all of these ingredients together with a stick blender (or whisk if you are feeling particularly ambitious!) until very well incorporated. </i><br />
<br />
<u>Add:</u><br />
<br />
1 cup grated zucchini, (with liquid squeezed out as much as possible!!)<br />
<br />
½ cup chopped walnuts<br />
<br />
1/3 cup organic raisins<br />
<br />
<i>Mix well, ensuring ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Let batter stand for 5 minutes to thicken up.</i><br />
<br />
Scoop into parchment lined or well greased loaf pan.<br />
<br />
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.<br />
(my pan was quite large, 9X5 I think? If yours is smaller, you will need to adjust your baking time until it is cooked thru!)<br />
<br />
Let cool 5 minutes in pan before removing to a rack to cool.<br />
<br />
Keep at room temp for the first day, refrigerate after that for a few days, if you have any left!!<br />

Panna Cotta translates from Italian to mean "cooked cream", and has become my favourite summer dessert this year. </div>
<div>
Elegant in its presentation, and simplistic in its preparation, its a win win dessert that doesn't even heat up your kitchen! It does require some time to set properly, so plan accordingly if you want it ready for dessert!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div>
I have made multiple versions of this espresso version this summer, and decided to post my three favourite variations, as they all shine in their own way, and deserve a wee bit of the spotlight, depending on your tastes and dietary needs!</div>
<div>
The lighter version is great when you want a dessert that is a bit less substantial, but every bit as lovely and tasty as the other versions. The "richer" version has a much creamier texture and velvety smooth mouth-feel that ups the ante a notch or two, making it just that wee bit more decadent. In the dairy free version (created just for my foodie friend Ken!) the coconut milk marries so well with the coffee flavour, it just might be my favourite... if I was ever forced to choose just one... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although I haven't tried it yet, you can also make Panna Cotta with fruit juice...picture a lovely mango Panna Cotta topped with a blackberry thyme coulis....I can see many more versions being created before summer is over!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This recipe does make quite a few Panna Cotta's, depending upon the size of container you choose. You will end up with approx 6 cups of liquid Panna Cotta, so choose your serving sizes accordingly. (feel free to cut the recipe in half, but the extras are a lovely indulgence to keep in the fridge ;) ..... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I am making it for company, I will choose several straight sided containers that will un-mold well (short mason jars, ramekins etc) and then pour the rest into various mason jars with lids, to be eaten straight out of the vessel as a treat in our lunches. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few quick notes on my choice of ingredients:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>For the espresso flavour, I like to use <a href="http://en.mounthagen.de/" target="_blank">Mount Hagen Organic </a> Instant Coffee. They have a regular and decaf version, that gives a seriously impressive coffee flavour to this dessert. </li>
<li><u>Coconut sugar </u>is almost always my sweetener of choice, for its lower glycemic rating, and its caramel like flavour. The darker colour will affect the end colour of your Panna Cotta, so if you were making a plain version of this without the coffee granules, you may want to substitute with an organic white sugar or honey to eliminate the caramel colour that this will give. So, feel free to substitute with your sweetener of choice. (I am thinking maple syrup may work well with the espresso flavour as well...hmmmm....)</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<b><u>Method: (for all three versions)</u></b><br />
In a small saucepan, measure out ½ cup of the milk, and
sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top. Let rest for approx 8-10 minutes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the gelatin is sitting, measure the rest of the
ingredients into a large blender and whiz quickly until well combined. Set aside.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the gelatin/milk mixture has finished resting, turn the heat on medium low and heat gently, stirring often, until the gelatin is dissolved,
approx 5-8 minutes. Do not boil!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When dissolved, remove from heat, and, with the blender running on low speed, carefully remove cap from blender lid, and pour the hot gelatin mixture into the blender with the rest of the ingredients. Replace
lid and turn on high to blend for 30 seconds.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pour into desired serving dishes*** and chill for a minimum
of 2 hrs or until fully set. <br />

I love garlic scapes. They are the yummy precursor to the lovely garlic that gets harvested towards the end of summer in my garden.,,,kind of like a bonus harvest on a garden staple, fleeting but delicious! Many farmers markets and stands sell them if you don't grow your own garlic so be sure to look for them from mid June to early July.<br />
I do tend to stick to my favourite recipes with scapes, (like pesto, and this recipe below for compound butter) but they are very versatile and can be used for many different recipes if you are creative! (do a <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=garlic%20scapes&rs=typed&term_meta[]=garlic%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=scapes%7Ctyped" target="_blank">pinterest search.</a>..they are used in absolutely EVERYTHING!!! ) I chopped a bunch this year in my food processor and froze them in an ice cube tray so that we can hopefully enjoy the harvest for way longer than we usually do. (see pics below!!)<br />
<br />

It's lovely vibrant green colour and garlicky bite transform a multitude of foods to a completely different level of flavour.<br />

Try this recipe before the scapes are gone again for the season!!<br />
<br />
<u>Garlic Scape and Lemon Compound Butter</u><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Approx 8-10 garlic scapes, roughly chopped (you want to end
up with about 1/ 2 cup when finely chopped)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¾ cup butter cut into 6 chunks (mine was not quite room temp
but not cold either!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zest of 1 lemon (ALWAYS organic!!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Juice of 1 lemon</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
S&P to taste (if butter is salted, as mine often is... add less salt!!)<br />

(my store won for best overall store participation...woot woot team Brantford!!!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyhoo, both my husband and I jumped on the cleanse bandwagon, and for two weeks have been eating clean and healthy. Our diet is already pretty clean, but its sometimes good to check in on all the little habits that creep back into your diet and linger. A cleanse is a great reset...it gives your digestive system a great spring cleaning!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was looking for something different to cook for dinner one night, and saw millet listed on the chart of "ok" foods. So I cooked a big batch pot of this delicious little seed (yes, it is technically a seed, not a grain!) for dinner and then had to come up with a use for the rest. I had a fridge full of veggies for eating on the cleanse, so I started chopping and this salad was born!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

We topped it with both salmon and chicken to add some protein, and I think it would be great with chickpeas for a vegan version. It makes enough for a crowd, or for several meals during the week. Definitely a keeper recipe, cleansing or not!! If you don't have any millet, cooked quinoa would be a great alternative!! </div>

The first being that I was ever so kindly given a bag of <a href="http://salbasmart.com/our-products/salba-chia-chocolate/" target="_blank">Salba Chocolate Chia Seeds</a>
a while back to see if I could come up with a recipe to incorporate them into
(thanks Deb!) They have been sitting staring at me for way too long, awaiting a
burst of inspiration for a new recipe. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On to reason number two… We have been house
hunting as of late, and our wonderful agent-who-is-also-my-sister-in-law has
been driving us around kingdom-come for a number of weeks. We were embarking on
another road trip and I wanted to surprise her with some tasty treats for the
drive. (She is celiac, so cooking for her, with all of my own dietary issues,
is a proverbial piece of cake!) So on went my thinking cap. My brain jumped to
donuts pretty quick, and these lovely little chocolate coated chia seeds were
screaming at me to use them. I also had some beautiful organic cara-cara
oranges, for further inspiration. Chocolate and orange is such a classic combination
that is so well represented in these lovely little morsels, I was absolutely thrilled
with the results! The texture is not unlike a poppyseed muffin or loaf, with a
delightful bit of crunch, and the mix of flavours conjures</div>
a little happy dance
in your mouth! So, to Deb and Jo, a
labour of love, and a brand new recipe! <br />
<br />
This is also my first post using pictures taken with my son Mac's amazing camera..I am totally enamored with it..(so much that he had to buy me my own memory card so I quit filling up his...)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We love curry in our house, and butter chicken is definitely a favourite, and not at all difficult to whip up for a weeknight dinner. (if you add all the other selections pictured on the plate, you're into a marathon cooking session with masses of dirty dishes, spatters of yellow yumminess all over your kitchen and a very happy belly at the end!) but, I am only sharing the butter chicken recipe at the moment, and it stands alone very well.<br /><br />I used chicken thighs, as I feel they have more flavour, but breasts could easily be substituted (2 large ones would probably suffice). Just to note, I have also made this with leftover rotisserie or roasted chicken, deboned and chopped up, and added at the simmering stage below. Just start the recipe where you saute the onions, and you're good to go! <br /><br />With any recipe, a bit of pre-prep is always a good idea, but I find with curries, there are so many spices for the layering of all that yummy flavour, having them measured out and ready to add helps alot! If you like a spicier dish, feel free to increase the cayenne! As it stands this recipe has a nice mild heat with a ton of flavour. <br /><br />I will include the links at the bottom for the other recipes if you are into marathon- kitchen-destroying-but-oh-so-much-fun cooking sessions , and I promise I will also add a link when I finally get my grain free naan recipe posted as well. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Butter Chicken</b></u></span><br /><br />8-10 skinless boneless chicken thighs <br />2 tbsp butter </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a part of my life for as long as
I can remember. My Grandma Pringle had a large lovely row of rhubarb growing in
her garden every spring (along with a cherry tree that grew two kinds of
cherries, gooseberries, and the most wonderful black raspberries <u>ever</u>!!)
Their house in the summer was the best place to visit… my brother and I spent
many an hour pilfering whatever was ripe and in season at the time. My love of both food and gardening definitely had
its start in that lovely backyard of delights, and for that, I am thankful. </div>

This crisp is delicious. The topping has a delightfully crisp
texture, and if you decide to add the pecans, they add a lovely crunch. (my
eldest son prefers the version without…but he isn’t much of a nuts-in-baked-goods
fan. If you like pecans, throw them in…they won’t disappoint!) Made with maple syrup, it is refined sugar free as well as gluten free!</div>

Having not posted a
brand new recipe since Christmas, I knew it was high time I got on with it! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So,
on a blustery April Sunday afternoon, baking was on the agenda, and these lovely muffins were just begging to be blogged.
Two overly ripe bananas were the starting point, and the rest just fell into
place. I had intended to blend the peanut butter in with the immersion blender, but decided at the last minute that the crunchy peanut chunks in the
peanut butter would lend a lovely texture to the muffin, and I was right!
Smooth peanut butter would work as well, and if that’s all you have, don’t
dismay. The flavour will still be lovely! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will notice there is no added sugar in the batter. With two bananas,
and the chocolate chunks, I think they are perfectly sweet enough. They are grain free, gluten free and dairy
free too, for those who avoid dairy! Lovely for breakfast, or with an afternoon cup of tea, I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!</div>

First: they are
the 12<sup>th</sup> post for my holiday “12 Days of Cookies” on my Facebook
recipe page (I saved the best ‘til last!)
Second: they are one of my husband’s favourite kinds of cookies, and I
thought it would be a nice Christmas gift for him! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I sweetened them with pure dark Maple syrup, and the flavour, while not quite traditional, is divine!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for making them grain free, as is more the norm for my
baking, that was a struggle. I couldn’t seem to strike the right combo of ingredients. But, when
I added in the rice flour (which is still a traditional shortbread ingredient)
the whole cookie came together beautifully. Chill the dough thoroughly to make
rolling out a breeze!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They do make a very tender cookie, so take care when handling
the finished product, as I had a few that broke when I was plating them for a
gathering.Let them cool completely before attempting to move them at all...unless you are taste testing of course!!</div>

processor. If you don’t have access to one, you could use your blender to process
your pecans, just pulse until they are fairly uniformly ground. (If you go too
far they will become pecan butter!)They keep well at room temperature for a few days, and
freeze wonderfully too. </div>

of sweet and savory. The bacon marries the maple syrup and thyme into a
wonderfully different cookie, in a very good way. Use dried thyme if you must,
but try to find fresh if you can! If you
don’t have bacon fat, you can sub in a good quality lard, coconut oil or
butter, but the bacon fat contributes to the uniqueness of the cookie!</div>

September. We were taking a much needed break in the Fingerlakes with our
wonderful friends. We planned a 4 day escape and rented a lakeside cottage over one of the most beautiful fall weekends you
could ask for. We hiked Watkins Glen, and had some absolutely delicious meals! (in a cottage with hodge podge of kitchen implements, it was a bit of a challenge to cook!) But, we succeeded in creating some memorable meals, and enjoyed some very much needed time away.</div>

Anyhoo, the whole grain free baguette quest started with a trip to Wegmans (Have you been to Wegmans?? What an amazing grocery experience!! We need Wegmans in
Canada!!)We picked up a frozen <a href="http://www.againstthegraingourmet.com/" target="_blank">Against The Grain</a> baguette to go with dinner one
night. It was pretty darn tasty, and you would honestly never know it was grain
free. Which, of course, made me want to make it myself. Easy peasy…or so I
thought….(those of you who follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JaninesRealFoodRecipes/" target="_blank">my Facebook page</a> may remember some of these...)</div>

Well, multiple tries and multiple fails later, I FINALLY
came up with a winner! Taste, texture and look, it has it all. It has a great
shelf life for grain free as well. It
keeps well for 4 days on the counter in an airtight container, and freezes like
a dream. I have toasted it as crostini, used it as a bruschetta base, and have
enjoyed multiple slices with a simple skim of butter. It does not disappoint!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In all my trials I have used multiple different types of
cheese, and I find ones with less moisture content work best, like a grana
padano (my fav) or parmesan. That being said, I have used cheddar, asiago and mozzarella
as well with good results. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My favorite cooking method is on my pizza stone in the oven,
and while it gives the crust a bit more crunch, it is not absolutely necessary
if you do not have one. I have used a sheet pan as well, and it works just
fine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dark interior colour comes from the chia. I have a very
large bag of black chia seeds right now, and all my experimenting has been with
them. Using white chia would lighten up the inside of the bread although it won’t
alter the taste at all. Give the seeds a quick whiz in a blender before using!</div>

numerous variations thereof) have been floating around my house for what seems
like eons and I am so excited to finally share them with you! I baked numerous
batches on the BBQ this summer (my oven heats up my house like crazy, even if
the air is on, so I avoid it like the plague during the hottest times) and I
knew the flavour was bang on. But the BBQ tends to bake on the hot side, even
turned to low, and they were coming out dry. Worth the effort… but drier than I
wanted them to be. Now that the cooler weather is here, and my oven is back to
being a productive member of my household, I was able to bake these bars at a
more appropriate temperature, and I can finally share the yumminess with you
all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

test batches allowed me to play with the dried fruit/nut combo, and this is the
one that we all like the best (although the cranberry/ pecan were a close
runner up!) The espresso accents the chocolate, and compliments the bitter and
sweet of the dried cherries and walnuts. I have used both our espresso machine
and a French press to brew the espresso. Strong
coffee would be an OK substitute, but if you choose to leave it out altogether,
be sure to add in another ½ cup liquid to the batter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I had already accomplished a lot of baking, and was tempted to just put it in the freezer for another day. But, being in the baking mode I decided to forge ahead and make one more batch of muffins. I used the same batter ingredients from that pumpkin muffin because it had spectacular flavour(why reinvent the wheel, right??) and simply added some soaked raisins and pumpkin seeds to it. This created an entirely different muffin! (which is also dairy and nut free to boot) I was going to list it as a variation with the Cream Cheese Streusel Muffins but the end results were so completely unlike each other, I felt they each needed a post of their own to let their little spirits shine :)<br />
<br />
These ones have a more earthy and hearty feel to them, and scream fall harvest with every morsel. They are not quite as photogenic as the cream cheese ones, but what they lack in beauty, they make up for in taste.<br />
<br />
A note on the soaked raisins...feel free to skip this step if you like. I am not a fan of chewy raisins, and this re-hydrates and infuses them with a lovely vanilla flavour that is more to my liking. Totally skipable, but for me a necessary step!<br />
<br />
Go ahead, try both recipes...neither will disappoint! Submerse yourself in the flavours of autumn, and enjoy each and every bite!<br />

of homemade soup can warm your insides better than a cozy blanket by the
fireplace. Soup is one of my favourite fall meals, its like a warm inside out hug.<br />
This one takes a bit of time to prep, but you can always roast the
veggies when you have your oven on for something else and refrigerate them until you were ready to make soup. Saving that roasting
step would have this soup on the table in 20 minutes flat.<br />

As with most of my soups I prefer to use my <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.ca/2013/03/bone-broth-101-my-method.html" target="_blank">homemade bone broth</a> as the
base. Nutrient dense and made from what would typically be waste; bone broth is both frugal and delicious! If you choose to use a store bought stock, be sure to
read the ingredients first and avoid any with ingredients you cannot pronounce (and therefore should not eat!!)</div>

Pumpkin
spice lattes, pumpkin spice cheesecakes, pumpkin spice smoothies, pumpkin spice
cookies and muffins…I could go on….and on…and on…!!! But, I guess it is the season, and... so as not to be left out, I came up with these beautiful muffins on the weekend.
They are the perfect melding of warming spices, mixed with the smooth cream cheese
and the delicious pumpkin, you will be tempted to eat more than one! </div>

Don’t let the long list of ingredients deter you from giving these muffins a try! I believe, of all the muffins I have made

For the pumpkin puree,
you can either cook a pie pumpkin (see my easy Crockpot cooking method at the bottom of my <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.ca/2013/10/grain-free-dairy-free-pumpkin-bars.html" target="_blank">Pumpkin Bar Recipe</a>) and use
one cup of that,(freeze the rest!) or purchase a good quality organic puree (not a pie filling!)</div>

and anything pumpkin season…!!) but I think the lovely pear too often takes a
back seat in the whole fall harvest line up. Pears are delicious! They are high
in fibre (more so than apples!) chock full of <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=28" target="_blank">flavenoids</a>, they are easily digested and low on
the allergen scale. What’s not to love?!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a myriad of ways to enjoy this virtuous fruit. Raw pears are lovely chopped or sliced into a
salad with slivers of a nice sharp cheese and some toasted nuts (dip slices in
a weak lemon water solution to mitigate the browning). And, of
course, who could forget this <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.ca/2013/09/grain-and-gluten-free-honeyed-pear.html" target="_blank">Honeyed Pear Upside Down Skillet Cake</a>? These brilliant roasted beauties are also lovely chopped onto a salad too, adding a nice balance to a feta and greens combo. They also go well in chia puddings, (another post I am working on!) Pears
really are the unsung hero's of autumn!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will notice this recipe is rather large, and is perfect
for a crowd. But with how tasty they are, I am sure you will agree that more is better
and leftovers are always used up in our house! If you do want to cut it down, reduce
your ingredients accordingly except the liquid, only take it down to ¾ of the
amount. The juices that accumulate in the bottom of the pan make a lovely drizzle, you won't want them to roast dry. </div>

1 cup liquid (you can get creative here! I usually use water, but have recently also used a nice hard apple ginger cider, but regular
cider or apple juice would be lovely too)</div>

cook them thru, you want them to be fork tender.)</div>

only fitting that my first post of the season would showcase the delightful fall
apple. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As much as I love the alluring pairing of apples and cinnamon, I was
going for something different here, using freshly grated nutmeg as the showcased
spice. It lends a warming flavor that marries beautifully with the custardy
texture of this cake. I always keep a few nutmegs in a jar with my spices, and
use my kitchen rasp to grate them. Fresh nutmeg has a stronger flavor and aroma
than its pre-ground counterpart, and with the help of the rasp, just as
convenient. Kept in an airtight container, it will store indefinitely, giving
you aromatic fresh nutmeg in a few quick slides on a rasp. </div>

batch for lunch one day last week. The particular salad I was hankering for uses
mayonnaise. But being Thursday, I didn’t want to make a whole jar of mayo because of its short shelf life. (My recipe uses a whole raw
egg, and it only lasts in the fridge for about 5 days. We don’t go thru enough mayonnaise
to use it up quickly, especially on the weekends when we are not packing
lunches for the household). I did have a
jar of cashew butter in the fridge though, so I came up with this scrumptious
dressing to top the crunchy broccoli. I added some chopped carrots, leftover
bacon (I know, leftover bacon???) and some dried cranberries, and this little
bit of deliciousness was born. The sriracha in the sauce adds flavor, but not a
lot of heat. Adjust if you want it more or less spicy.</div>

I know I have waxed poetic about my Grandma's Rhubarb pie before (this <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.ca/2013/06/strawberry-rhubarb-custard.html" target="_blank">Rhubarb custard </a>post was one such occasion) but it really was that awesome. When I perfected my <a href="http://janinesrealfoodrecipes.blogspot.ca/2015/07/grain-free-pie-pastry.html" target="_blank">grain free pastry</a> recipe, and my rhubarb was at that perfect spring readiness, I figured it was time to honour my grandma and her pie, pastry and all.<br />
<br />
My favourite pie plate is quite large, if yours is smaller, use the extra crust and filling to make some lovely little tarts!<br />

It is refined-sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, its easy, it stores wonderfully in your freezer, and, most importantly, it tastes divine. Wait... did I mention it's really easy?<br />
<br />
With three simple ingredients and a food processor, you have everything you need to make this lovely summer treat! Customize the fruit to your taste buds! We have used frozen strawberries and oranges as well as the mango version below, but any type of frozen fruit would be delish!<br />
<br />
(Yes, I know, the picture kind of looks like cupcakes...but it freezes beautifully in little parchment paper liners. When frozen, simply take it out of the pan and freeze in an airtight container in the freezer, or even a zip-lock freezer bag until you want to eat it. Then it is ready, in a perfect serving sized portion!<br />
<br />
Chilling the coconut milk prior to starting this recipe is VERY important. (I actually keep a spare can in the fridge for just such occasions!). Between whipped coconut cream and this recipe, I have one ready whenever I need it!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
If necessary, add the drained liquid from your can 1 tbsp at a
time to loosen the ice cream enough to blend. You may need it all, you may not.
(Mango seems to require the whole amount; it takes more to blend because
they are very dense when frozen. Softer fruit like cherries, raspberries or blueberries will
blend easier. )</div>

We found this set of 4 little melamine bowls at one of the PC Superstores, and they work wonderfully for keeping a batch of ice cream ready to go in the freezer! We bought two sets, which are perfect for the 8ish servings that this recipe makes! Pictured here is a strawberry version!</div>

And what better to celebrate with than a chocolate cream pie? With this pie, the crust takes on a more graham-cracker-crust-like texture, which suits the pie wonderfully. Again, my favourite pie plate is rather large, adjust amounts if your pie plates are smaller, or use the extra to make some lovely little tarts!<br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>Filling:</u><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3 ½ cups whole milk, divided</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 egg yolks</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup cocoa powder</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ cup arrowroot powder</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup coconut sugar</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pinch of salt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-------</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life are awesome)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a medium heavy bottomed pot, whisk together egg yolks and
3 cups of the milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring often.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
While mixture is heating, in a mixing bowl, whisk together
the dry ingredients until well combined. Mix in the rest of your milk (1/2 c)
and whisk until smooth. Add to the
heating milk, and using a wooden spatula, stir constantly, ensuring to cover
all of the bottom surfaces of the pot. The mixture will start to thicken after
about 8 minutes or so. (It seems like it will never get thick, but be patient! It
will!) Keep stirring for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes creamy and thickens nicely.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Stir until melted and the
mixture is smooth again. Strain thru a fine metal strainer to remove any lumps
that may remain.<br />

But, in the early summer, when everything is behaving well, my garden is a lovely calm place to while away the time pulling weeds, and thinning the rows of beautiful greens. Which leads us to this salad. Instead of thinning and tossing, I like to use the thinning in salads like this, kind of a waste-not-want-not kind of thing. It makes me feel less guilty about pulling out perfectly good plants :)<br />
