Oatmeal Sweet Potato Pancakes A number of years ago, I attended a workshop on how to incorporate more "real" food into your family's diet. I realized I was not among my people when the teacher said, "Encourage your kids to snack on fruits and veggies instead of processed food. For instance, my daughter loves to go out into our garden and munch on fresh brussel sprouts." Seriously? Children snacking on RAW brussel sprouts? Her kids must be gifted because I have yet to birth a child willing to touch, much less eat a brussel sprout.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough recipe (no refined sugar)
If you're looking for ways to reduce how much refined sugar you're eating, but you're not quite ready to give desserts up entirely, try out this Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough recipe.

It has a mild taste that isn't coconut-ty and blends in well. You can use it in your coffee, granola recipes and Keep Reading

Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup Ingredients: 1 T. avocado oil (or your favorite cooking Keep Reading
How to grow garlic
How to Grow Garlic There are a number of cool weather crops, like kale or cauliflower, that grow during our normally mild Pacific Northwest winters (more cool season planting ideas), but my heart belongs to garlic. You plant it in early fall (September/October), harvest it in mid-summer (July), and do very little in between. If you are looking to ease into this green thumb stuff, garlic is a great way to do it. If you are interested in growing your own, here are a few simple steps & tips: Buy full heads of garlic I have heard that you want to buy local garlic so you have a guarantee it grows in your climate. Local farmers markets or Keep Reading
