Fermented Parsnips & How to Ferment Vegetables at Home via InspiredRD.com #reciperedux

When I saw the topic for this month’s Recipe Redux challenge, I had absolutely no idea where to start.  I have no experience making “Fermented Foods” at home, and didn’t even know it was possible.  When I started looking into the process, the food safety nerd came out in me as I worried about leaving [...]

June 20, 2012
Mini Key Lime Pies - Gluten Free and Dairy Free from InspiredRD.com

Welcome to this month’s Recipe ReDux!  When I found out that our theme is chocolate, I was pretty stumped.  I’m not much of a baker, so chocolate chip cookies were out.  A healthy recipe using chocolate?  Hmm…..
