Cinnamon Dutch Apple Babies

Cinnamon Dutch Apple Babies by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

PagesCinnamon Dutch Apple BabiesEvery Christmas morning, my family gets together and makes Dutch Apple Babies, which are baked apple cinnamon pancakes with a wonderful egg-rich texture.

Vanilla Bean and Gurer Payesh (Rice Pudding)

Vanilla Bean and Gurer Payesh (Rice Pudding) by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

Over New Years, K and I went to Seattle to stay with his family. His mom (who makes unbelievable mouth watering Bengali dishes) gave me short grain rice and gur from India to make payesh. She said to make it for a special occasion. I decided to make it for my day off, and I called and got her approval—that was indeed a special…

Golden Beet and Sweet Potato Soup....and a Side Table

Golden Beet and Sweet Potato Soup....and a Side Table by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

This weekend I discovered my new favorite blog, Knock off Wood, where Ana gives instructions on how to make Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel and other furniture knock offs. I love a good project so I was excited to get started right away! My first piece was a knock off pottery barn side table. It was really easy and inexpensive, thanks…

Simple Roasted Radishes

Simple Roasted Radishes by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

PagesSimple Roasted RadishesRadishes are so different when cooked, losing all of their bite and becoming sweet vehicles for salt, pepper, olive oil and whatever herb you decide to cook them with. This recipe uses thyme, a spice I adore. The healthiest part of the radish is actually in the greens, so don't throw them away when making…

Polenta Pizza with Pesto, Gorgonzola, Pear and Chives

Polenta Pizza with Pesto, Gorgonzola, Pear and Chives by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

I have always loved pizza, and now that I am mostly gluten free, I really miss it. As my taste buds have changed, I don’t miss the crust as much, but appreciate it for being a great vehicle for cheese, sauce and veggies! I tried experimenting with different bases and my favorite turned out to be polenta. It is definitely a "fork and…

Almost Sopa de Ajo by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

PagesAlmost Sopa de AjoSopa de ajo is a wonderful soup, originally made with just garlic, bread and water. It has been adapted over time to include a rich broth, egg, spices and occasionally ham.

Strawberry Balsamic Sorbet

Strawberry Balsamic Sorbet by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

Make sure to use good quality, pure Balsamic vinegar (read the label!), as most commercial Balsamic is made with red wine vinegar or concentrated grape juice mixed with strong vinegar, and then laced with caramel and sugar--not what nature intended! Balsamic vinegar has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and contains the…

Homemade Bourbon Vanilla Extract

Homemade Bourbon Vanilla Extract by Stacy @Nutrition as Nature Intended

I recently returned from the most amazing vacation to Mexico. It was beautiful and incredibly relaxing. Best week ever. While we were there, we picked up a bunch of little bottles of vanilla extract (careful not to buy any that contains tonka bean extract, which contains coumarin), as pure vanilla extract from Mexico is pretty…
