Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bob's Red Mill . I received complimentary product for the purpose of recipe development, but all opinions are honest and they are my own.  This page may contain affiliate links. We have decided to detox from sugar. I shouldn't laugh, but Jake came out yesterday morning and said, "We have a major problem." Then he proceeded to tell me that his so-called 'fat pants' were tight. I tried not to laugh and used it as an opportunity to get him to give up, or at least cut waaaay back on, sugar.  So, this morning, instead of pancakes with maple syrup - or some other sugary breakfast - I decided to try my hand at a breakfast bowl made with whole grains, greens, and savory yogurt. I'll admit: I got a few groans, but I liked it! And they'll adjust. What the Freekeh? You may be asking yourself, "What in the world is freekeh?" As part of a shipment for a grains around the world...

Here we are at Day One of my 2013 October #Unprocessed challenge. For the most part, my family doesn't eat processed foods. At least I don't think that we eat processed foods; I buy ingredients and make - from scratch - just about everything my family eats. And we get all of our fruits and veggies from our CSA or the farmers' market. But this month is a great eye-opener for me to think about how the ingredients I buy are processed. To kick-off the month, I made steel-cut oats and topped it with honey-poached quince. Read, at Eating Rules, about the different kinds of oatmeal . The steel-cut variety are as close to intact oat groats as you can get. And I poached the quince in a water plus raw honey mixture to keep my sweetener as unprocessed as possible, too. I managed to track down raw milk as well. Feeling pretty good about our first #Unprocessed breakfast. What did you have for breakfast? Comment below.
