Barbequed Veggies

This recipe is a real winner. We have served it to lots of people and they always ask me, “What’s in this stuff?” As they are eating it with their fingers as we talk. They hand me back the empty bowl before I go and make me promise to give them the recipe. We use the leftovers (when there ARE any) on top of our green salads for some extra, grilled pizzazz.

Bean Salad (Easy)

This is an easy, fast, and great bean salad that can be modified for each person’s blood type. You can mix and match the beans and use canned beans once you rinse them.

Beef Stew

Winter is the time of the year I drag out my crock pot. I like getting soup recipes that I already know are good and that everyone likes. This one is good every time and you can dilute it to make soup if you want to.

Bird Cupcakes

From the Kitchen of Elk Meadow Farm & Nursery Denice Moffat and Michael Robison This is for high-energy in the winter. A suet treat in a decorator cup. They don’t last long around our house. The Blue Jay’s screech like birds of prey to scare the smaller birds off so they can gobble these things [...]

Bitters, Choline, Gallbladder Fxn

Supplements you can take to stimulate the release of bile include Angostura Bitters (you can get this at the liquor store because it is an ingredient of bar drinks) and Choline. I like choline because it makes the bile more liquefied so that it passes easier through the bile duct (which is really small and can get irritated and blocked thus causing gall bladder “attacks.”) It also helps with brain function and helps prevent “brain fog.” Choline bitartrate, choline inositol are both good, but I use Standard Process brand of choline.

Black Bean Burgers with Corn Salsa

I modified this recipe from a magazine that is now defunct. Wonderful flavor and fairly easy to make with a food processor

Black Beans and Rice Recipe

This is an old family recipe from Britt Heisel. It was a staple in our house – loved by grown-ups and kiddos alike. It’s comforting in winter and quick and simple in the summer. It’s endlessly versatile. You can serve it over rice, in tortillas, make it “saucier” for a black bean soup, put over chips for nachos, or turn into enchiladas. You can sneak in lots of greens coming out of your garden or from the market. It makes a vat and we usually get 2 or 3 meals out of the recipe.

Blue Cheese Dressing

I love this blue cheese dressing recipe and you can modify it with Feta or Roquefort blue cheese as well. It makes a couple of cups and it stores well. A bit thinner in texture than store-bought so it mixes with the salad better and you don’t use as much for those calorie counters out there.

Bran Muffins | bran muffin

I love bran-both oat and wheat—it’s so. . .fibrous. This is a recipe I developed that makes use of bran but it’s very moist. The spices are added as a natural wormer and the cranberries are great for urinary tract health. Freezes well. These go fast.

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

We had this Butternut Squash soup at an end-of-the-year Farmer’s Market party. It was excellent so I asked Amanda for her recipe. Here it is.
