Bread and Fermentation Class Open Enrollment

Come and learn about the significance of the gut microbiome and how to care for it with the skill of preserving through fermentation of veggies, salsa, fruit and bread. The workshop is $15. You’ll get to taste lots of delicious fermented foods and take home your own sourdough starter. Class will be held August 1st at 1 PM. Deadline to sign up is July 25th.

Did you know that what you eat and how you live directly impacts your health and how you feel? For every cell we have in our body there are 10x more bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa that are all talking to our mitochondria, coordinating repair and growth. We are only 1% human… the rest of us is an ecosystem that works harmoniously with our body if we are treating them right. Those little critters are the control center of the body, regulating hormones, inflammation, brain chemistry and what we do or don’t absorb. We know that 70% of our immune system is in the gut, where health begins. Our gut health even impacts our brain activity because more gaba and serotonin are produced in the gut than the brain. For every 1 message our brain sends to our gut, our gut sends 9. These messages include the activation of our immune system, the growth of new brain cells and the adaptability of these new cells to learn. More science is finding that our gut microbiome is critical to whether or not we experience chronic illness and impacts the health of our future. Come and learn what foods trigger inflammation and which foods to eat more of. We will learn the simple skill of fermenting vegetables like kimchi and salsa, fruit chutneys and even fermented bread which lowers the gluten content significantly. Seating maximum for this class is 25. No refunds available after the deadline. Cost goes to food purchased for the class.

Class Price – $15

Feel Good Soup

I got this recipe out of the book, Made Whole by Cristina Curp and made it my own with a few adjustments. I love her cookbook, it’s full of yummy paleo friendly recipes. When I tried it I was surprised at how good it was and how fast it came together. It tastes like stroganoff in a lot of ways. Yum!

2 cups chopped cremini mushrooms

6 cloves of garlic chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black ground pepper

pinch of nutmeg

2 tablespoons coconut vinegar

1 quart bone broth

1 can coconut cream or milk

2 cups riced cauliflower

3-4 cups baby spinach

3 tablespoons collagen peptides

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Heat a large dutch oven pot over medium high and cook the turkey with the avocado oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper and saute for a few minutes. Add the vinegar and scrape any brown bits. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the coconut milk, cauliflower rice, spinach, collagen peptides and nutritional yeast and heat through. Serve warm.

If cooking in a crock pot cook on high for 1 hour. You can top with more coconut milk, hemp seeds, chia seeds, chopped almonds and a little coconut sugar. Serves 3-4.

Paleo Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is amazing! My mom shared it with me and I have been making it ever since. I have served it to the greatest skeptics and have fooled them all! It is so rich and delicious. You won’t believe there is no dairy or gluten in it!

Recipe

3 cup almond flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

2 cups coconut sugar

1 1/2 cups raw cacao powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

4 large eggs

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

1 cup water

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8 inch round cake pans. In a large bowl add all dry ingredients together and whisk until blended. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl and then add to the dry ingredients. Pour the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 30 -35 minutes until a knife or toothpick comes out clean after inserting into the middle of the cake. Allow the cake to cool and make the frosting. Once completely cooled frost the cake and chill for up to a day before serving.

Frosting

8 cups organic powdered sugar or powdered coconut sugar

1 cup raw cacao powder

1 cup palm shortening

1/2 -1/3 cup coconut milk

2 teaspoon vanilla

Whip the palm shortening first to break up any clumps, add the powdered sugar and raw cacao and 1/2 cup coconut milk and vanilla. Whip until thick and creamy. Frost the cake and chill or serve with coconut ice cream.
