I have wanted to post this recipe for quite a long time, but, life… Life is so crazy and hectic sometimes. Homeschooling, my own studies, cooking 3 meals daily mostly from scratch, and regular day to day life doesn’t leave much room for other things these days. But here it is, finally, our Hemp Milk Recipe. I make it 1 to 2 times per week. It is a great alternative for those who need a nut free, grain free, milk substitute.

I started making ghee a few years back when my oldest munchies was on the GAPS diet. Even though the GAPS diet is no longer active in our home, there are many wonderful foods and recipes we have kept from that time. Ghee being one of them.
Ghee has long been used in Indian cooking and has a very distinct, pleasant flavor. It is a clarified butter, meaning that the milk solids and water have been removed leaving just the pure butter fat.
So why should someone consider incorporating it into their diet? And what are the benefits of adding ghee to your diet?…
Soup is an easy, delicious way to add nutrient dense foods to your diet. Just start with a base of hearty, mineral rich, bone broth full of healthy fats, and gut healing gelatin. Load it up with veggies, shredded meat, and whatever else your heart desires, and you have an amazing satisfying meal.

Egyptian Lentil Soup is a great recipe for anytime of year. It is especially enjoyable once temperatures start to dip and we all start craving those warm comfort foods. …
We often make South African Biltong “USA style” in our dehydrator at home. I say “USA style” because it is our own DIY version of biltong. The taste is similar, but the texture is definitely a little closer to American jerky….
South African Biltong… You might ask, “What’s that?”. Well, I describe this recipe as a South African beef jerky, BUT my husband says calling it “jerky” is an offense. You see my husband is from South Africa, a transplant to America via Europe, and calling this beloved traditional food from “the motherland” jerky is, well, equivalent to calling it garbage.
So on to really answering, what is biltong? First off it is pronounced bill-tong. It is a dried meat snack, similar to jerky. It differs to jerky in that it is quite a bit thicker, but it can be sliced thin after drying, it is only air dried, never smoked, vinegar is used in the process of making it, and the spice profile is unique to South Africa. In essence, it is super yummy and a MUST TRY for jerky lovers!

So I’m sure the name of this recipe has some of you saying, “What? Caribbean JerkVeggie Tacos?” When I hear myself say it I also sometimes catch myself thinking the same thing. But in all honesty I don’t have any other way to describe this dish. On occasion I have called it Jamaican Jerk Veggie Tacos but that almost sounds dishonest because I have never been to Jamaica.
