Organic Spring Salad recipe
I didn't take a lot of pictures for this other than the final result, which turned out great. ALL ingredients are organic! Surprisingly, I forgot to add black olives (usually a staple when I make salads!)
This was inspired by +Jedha D on Google+.
1 cup Fresh Spring Lettuce Mix/Fresh Baby Spinach
1/2 Heirloom Tomato, cut in thin wedges
3 inches of Green Cucumber, sliced thinly
1 Tablespoon raw Sunflower Seeds
1 teaspoon raw Hemp Seeds
1 slice Llano Seco Thick-cut Uncured Bacon, fried in its own juices, cut into 1/2-inch square pieces
2 hard-boiled Pasture-raised Eggs, sliced
1/2 cup shredded Greenbank Raw Mild Cheddar Cheese
Bragg's or favorite dressing, to taste

Organic Raw Almond Flour recipe
I've been having trouble trying to use up all of my (nearly unending!) supply of almond pulp since I started making my own almond milk. I have been saving some in the freezer for later use and also putting some in the compost. But, since I make milk every 2 days, it was getting out of hand! So, I finally did a search on how to make almond flour! I love to bake, so always run out of organic whole wheat flour. So, this will come in handy!
1 cup of organic raw almond pulp
Crumble the almond pulp evenly onto solid dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at 115F for 6-8 hours.
Slowly add about half of the dehydrated pulp to blender. Pulse blend until pulp becomes a fine powder. May take several pulses and several minutes. Pour almond flour into glass jar using a funnel. Repeat for remainder of pulp.
Store in the refrigerator.
It's hard to tell in this picture, but it is very fine powder.
(I do not blanch - remove the skin - from my almonds, so this makes a colorful flour.)

Garlicky Breaded Chicken Breast recipe
I found this recipe on AllRecipes and altered it slightly.
2 chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons Organic Pastures Raw Butter
3 cloves crushed organic garlic
2/3 cup Organic Panko Breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a cast iron saucepan, melt butter with garlic. Dip both sides of chicken pieces in butter/garlic sauce, letting extra drip off, then lay in plate of breadcrumbs and coat both sides completely.
Place coated chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Combine any leftover butter/garlic sauce with bread crumbs and spoon mixture over chicken pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This served 2.
Enjoy!!

Apple/Kiwi/Mint Juice recipe
I'm trying to add more fresh mint to my foods, since I know I will have a LOT of it in the future, once I transplant this potted mint into one of my 18-gallon bins. So, I came up with this juicy treat!
3 organic Fuji apples, halved
2 organic kiwifruits
2 4-inch sprigs of fresh spearmint
Add ingredients to juicer opening (alternating apple, kiwi, apple, mint, apple, kiwi, etc. to make sure mint leaves get juiced properly.) This made about 12 ounces of minty-fresh juice!

1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1/4 cup Organic Valley Pasture Butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup Straus Organic Whole milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Stoneground Whole Wheat flour

1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1/4 cup Organic Valley Pasture Butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup Straus Organic Whole milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Stoneground Whole Wheat flour
~~~~~
1/4 cup Organic Valley Pasture Butter, melted
1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Fill muffin pans with 12 regular muffin cups.
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups about half full.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. When muffins are removed from oven, use a basting brush to coat the tops with butter, then sprinkle sugar mixture over top. You can shake any excess back into the sugar mixture bowl. Let cool and serve.
This made 12 muffins.
Any excess sugar mixture can be saved in a glass jar for future use.Friday, January 27, 2012

Tonight's Organic Dinner
This is where tonight's dinner came from. We're having organic pork ribs from Llano Seco Ranch, which is located in Chico, CA. which is about a 2 hour drive north of us. Davis Co-op just started carrying their organic pork. Hope they start carrying the beef, too.

Planting Seeds
OK. I got a bunch of odds & ends of seeds planted. Yay! I'll be planting more in a couple weeks - different ones. And, if some of these don't come up, I have more of the same I'll plant. I also planted some unknown heirloom tomato seeds that my mom had saved (don't think those will make it ...) I've put them on the ironing board in front of my bedroom window that gets good light most of the time. The egg cartons are setting on an old baking sheet, so no leakage. Once these sprout & get their first leaves, they'll be transferred to small pots until chance of frost is over. Then, they will be moved outside to the 18-gallon bins to grow and prosper!
I'll be putting an order in to Landreth Seeds (finally) next week, so will have plenty of seeds through the season for succession planting.

Apple/Pear/Ginger Juice recipe
I found this recipe in my old Juiceman book. He called it Ginger Jolt.
This is what I used:
2 Organic Pink Lady apples
1 Organic d'Anjou pear
1-inch raw organic ginger root
Wash fruit & ginger. Cut fruit in wedges. Juice 1 apple, then half pear, then the piece of ginger, then the rest of the fruit.
Enjoy!

Jedha's Breakfast Melody recipe
Usually, I take pictures of every step when I share a recipe. Today, I'll just link to Jedha's page, as she's done all the work.

I was out of the zucchini-type squash, but I did have some butternut squash that I substituted!
