Awesome website about food & living simply – GNOWFGLINS™

Do you ever come across a website that is so incredible, so chockfull of interesting, useful everyday information that you are compelled to share it with everyone you know?

That is how I feel about GNOWFGLINS™.

I’ve spent the past hour bouncing on my yoga ball trying to get my baby to sleep and, while my back was burning and my patience waning, I past the time with my new best bud Wardeh.

A brief description:

We choose to eat healthfully as a way of praising our Creator for His perfect design. As our designer, He knows best how to nourish our bodies. Those foods are God’s Natural, Organic, Whole Foods, Grown Locally, In Season.

Here are some of my favorite posts:

• Reheating Foods Without A Microwave
• Fruit Smoothie Formula
• Raw Nut Milk ~ Almond or Hazelnut
• Chocolate-Almond Milk
• Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
• Gluten-Free Natural Tollhouse Bar Cookies
• Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream
• Dark Chocolate Ice Cream — Non-Dairy, Naturally Sweetened
• Pumpkin Ice Cream — Non-Dairy, Naturally Sweetened

Now, I’m a meat, dairy, gluten, white sugar eating woman… but I am buying more and more organic and raw items.  I love the way organic sugar just looks.  That soft brown color… how all the granules are slightly different sizes… how the color can differ bag to bag.  It’s just so darn pretty, I feel decedent stirring into my half-caf coffee! 

But just because I eat everything, doesn’t mean I would pass buy a chocolate ice cream recipe that uses coconut milk instead of dairy.  (That is pure brilliance!)  And I’m fascinated to make those Tollhouse Bar Cookies.  And the Pumpkin Pie… yum, yum, yum! 

I love cooking because I love eating, but I also enjoy working with new stuff and combining ingredients in novel ways.  Take new types of flour.  I’ve cooked with your basic everyday white, bleached flour, whole wheat and rye.  That’s it.  She has a whole list of grains that she mills and I’ve love to cook with them all.  Tonight!  But I’m pooped.  DH is getting K down and then he and I are going to enjoy some sour gummy bears… not real “raw” or “organic” of me huh?

So, I’ll see how the weekend goes.  I picked almost the last of the plums this morning and was cutting them in half, removing the pit and then freezing them in gallon freezer bags.  I still have a few pounds to process.  But I have two cans of coconut milk chilling in the fridge waiting for me to have a moment to make that Chocolate Ice Cream!
