Einkorn Flour Sandwich Bread
The first time I noticed einkorn flour at the grocery store, I just assumed it was like spelt; another ancient grain wheat variation. After a bit of research, I discovered that it is, in fact, wheat – however, it is the original wheat, the grain that existed before being hybridized by humans. According to information…

Panisse
Yet another chickpea flour recipe! This recipe, also popular in France, originally hails from Italy; I was surprised to learn that chickpeas have been eaten in the Mediterranean area since at least 7000 BC: “Chickpea, one of the oldest cultivated pulses in the Near East.

Homemade Burger Buns
Nothing fills the kitchen with comforting, appetizing aromas like freshly baked goods, but I’ve been eating a few too many doughy things lately, so I’ve been trying out a few recipes with the so-called ivory whole wheat flour

Quick and Easy Salmon Cream Pasta
Our local grocery store had a great deal on fresh wild Sockeye salmon the other day, so we bought a good-sized fillet to have for supper. We had some leftover, so the following night, I threw together this really simple, but very tasty, creamy pasta sauce using the cooked salmon. You could use fresh salmon,…
