These can be grain free if you use straight coconut flour. I use a bit of spelt for the elasticity. If you are using coconut flour use less flour as it is a moisture sucker.
You can half this recipie but I make it in bulk to freeze. Saves time for a Family!

• 3 cups of warm water 110 degrees F
• 6 tsp of dry active yeast
• 6 tbs of Maple syrup or raw honey
• 6 large eggs
• 7 cups of coconut flour
• 4 cups of spelt flour
• 4 1/2 tsp of sea salt
• 7 tsp of lard or butter- I use lard for buns as it turns out great!
• 1/2 cup of Chia Seeds-

I use my amazing mixer for making all of my bread elecrolux

• In a bowl or mixer- mix your warm water, yeast and maple syrup. Let sit for 5 min. Stir in eggs beaten lightly, room temp butter or lard, chia seeds and only 1/2 of your flour, and no salt.
• Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk
• Mix in the rest of your flour and salt
• Let rise one more hour or more till doubled in bulk
• Punch down and knead on a floured board or in your mixer if you have one for 5-10 min until smooth and elastic- keep adding flour as needed. If using only coconut flour it will dry the buns quickly so be careful.
• Divide dough into 20 equal parts. Roll into a ball and flaten slightly to shape like a bun. Cover and let rise till puffy- 30 min or so.
• Mix one 2 tbs of water and one egg white to egg wash the buns

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min near top shelf till golden brown. I freeze a dozen or so and keep some out for eating. But cut them before you freeze them.

Seriously amazing and delicious!

As a rich source of manganese, raw cacao helps oxygenate the blood. Raw cacao is also a rich source of magnesium, which helps in balancing brain chemistry. It is also rich in sulfur, which builds strong nails and hair, and promotes beautiful skin.

I have been making all of my own yogurt for my family as it is very cost effective as well as easy to make! I have a great recipie that works every time! Other recipies I have had would turn out to runny. This one is great! I make a gallon or two at a time as we eat it all! I use yogurt as a sub a lot of the time to sour cream or mayo in recipies.
In a crockpot:

• Heat on high 1 gallon of milk ( I use raw as all of the digestive enzymes are still in the milk)
• Heat this to 185 degrees- use a thermometer
• Turn crock to low or off to allow it to stay around 185 for 30 min.
• Than let it cool down on its own to 110 or place it in a cool water bath for quicker results.
• When it is 110 add ¾ cup of organic yogurt and or when you start making yogurt remember to save ¾ cup of your own to add to your next batch.
• Whisk it in At this point you can add honey or maple syrup to sweeten if you would like.
• Pour into pint, quart, or ½ gallon glass jars and lid.

Turn your oven on to 200 for ten min while filling your jars.
Turn off oven and place your jars of yogurt in oven that was warmed and close door quickly.
Incubate overnight or up to 8 hours! Store in fridge for up to a month! Enjoy! You made your own yogurt!! Heap some in a bowl and have frozen blackberries and a little maple syrup!

Pizza Seasoning

• 2 tbs of dried basil ( I dried my basil from garden and than blended it to powder)
• 2 tbs of dried thyme (same)
• 2 tbs of dried rosemary (same)
• 2 tbs of onion powder
• 2 tbs of garlic powder
• 1 tbs sea salt
• 2 tbs ground oregano

When you make it yourself, seasoning is full of anti-oxidants and immune boosting spices without preservatives or other added ingredients for flavor or coloring. This is not the case when you buy it in a store. Pre-packaged seasonings often contain completely unnecessary ingredients, some of which can be harmful to your health.

Cold Season is coming- Be prepared with this great herbal remedy!Immune Boosting Ticture- Order- Bulk Herb StoreDirections:Alcohol tinctures (extracts) are easy to make. Fill a glass jar 1/3 – 1/2 full of the premixed herbs (1/2 full of herbs makes a stronger brew), and top off the jar to within about 1/2 inch from the top with rum or vodka. Cap the jar and set it in a dark, cool place for about 3 weeks (shake mixture daily). Then, strain off and discard herbs saving the liquid herbal tincture in glass containers that are clearly labeled and capped.
As adults, we take 1/2 – 1 teaspoon (30 – 60 drops or so) every hour at the first sign of a cold or flu (any infection) until the symptoms disappear. We use less for children. Alcohol, glycerine or a mixture of the two is a good investment for a year’s supply of immune defense.
Safe for children and pregnant mothers.
