You can't eat that...

Hello!

It has been so long since my last post, But that does not mean I have not been busy in the kitchen! I have still been making bread, despite the heat wave we have been having... Trying my hand at spelt bread lately. I found a recipe on breadtopia.com which has worked out really well! I always find that when I bake with spelt, it turns out to be a dense disappointment. But the rise and texture of this bread is great! I am going to be testing out different flours and rising agents in the next little while, as I am finding that I just dont think my body can tolerate wheat. My intolerances to food drive me crazy! I can't have milk or soft cheeses ( my favorite!), sugar of any sort makes my skin flare up, wheat, coffee, fruit, blah blah blah... seriously. If I eat a diet of strictly fish and greens, I will be set. But my love of food usually comes first and I pay the price...

Oh well! Pictures will come soon...

Jam

I went strawberry picking with my sister Amanda a few days ago, and came home with 13lbs of strawberries... that is a lot of berries! So, naturally, I made jam. I made the basic strawberry, then in the second batch, I added some raspberries and lime. I really love the combination. I am really looking forward to making straight raspberry jam, and blackberry too!

Summer is here! I can't wait to get some more of these gems from the farmers market Sunday!
