Peach Salsa


Peach salsa is so fun! Just thinking about it makes my taste buds so happy. You can eat it plain with some blue corn chips. Or peach salsa can dress up just about any meal. It’s easy to make and it’s amazingly delicious. I like to make lacto fermented foods to add those natural probiotics to our diets as much as possible.
Peach Salsa
The short version of instructions is to chop all of this up and mix it together. Viola! Easy. Then leave it on the counter at room temperature for 2 days so it can ferment. Then transfer it to cold storage if it lasts that long. You should peel the skins of the peaches and tomatoes and the easiest way to do that is to drop them in a pot of boiling water for 30-60 seconds and the skins will just roll off when you rub them.
If you haven’t had peach salsa before, you are in for a treat. You can also try substituting mangoes for peaches.  You can dress up any meat dish with scoop of peach salsa. It would be fabulous on fish tacos. Let me know your favorite ways to accent your dishes with peach salsa.
P.S. If you don’t want to lacto ferment your salsa, you can leave out the salt and whey. Here’s the recipe card! Bon appetite!
Ingredients
  1. 4 peaches
  2. 2-3 roma tomatoes
  3. 1 jalapeno pepper (chopped and deseeded)
  4. 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (2-3 limes)
  5. 1 bunch cilantro (or you can use even basil)
  6. 1/2 onion (I think red onion would be beautiful. I just went with what I had which was a Vadalia onion.)

  8. 1 tsp real salt
  9. 2 tbsp whey
Instructions
  1. Put a pot of water on the stove to start boiling.
  2. Score the bottom of peaches and tomatoes by cutting an X at the bottom of each. Set up a bowl of cold and ice.

  4. Then immediately transfer the fruit into the bowl of ice cold water.
  5. Remove the skin from tomatoes and peaches and depitt the peaches.
  6. Dice/cut up the peaches, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion and cilantro.
  7. Mix it all together and add lime juice, minced garlic, real salt and whey.
  8. Stir and transfer to jars.
  9. Leave it on the countertop for 2 days at room temperature and then transfer to cold storage.

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid.  This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder. Ingredients 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss chickpeas in the mixture. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Fluffy dairy free pancakes Sadly, I’ve been dairy free due to my nursling who has a dairy issue. This has called for a good bit  of creativeness because dairy is such a big part of my family’s diet. I learned early on that water makes a sufficient substitute for fluffy dairy free pancakes; or almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk if you want to get fancy. I’m pretty particular about processing and ingredients so I take great strides to make my own or find minimally processed ingredients so sometimes water just has to work. I have also  found that eggs can make up taste when water is used. These pancakes are pretty fluffy on their own but I used large biscuit cutters to make them thick. You could use egg rings as well. If you choose to use to do this, be sure to oil the inside of the rings really well. These are by far a favorite pancake recipe.  Ignore my slightly burnt pastured, home cured bacon. I also use this same recipe to make bacon pancakes which is a...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...
