high protein, low carb, low sugar. see slow carb diet. paleo is a good one too. i have 1 cheat day a week where i go nuts after a healthy breakfast.

my bf and i went on a road trip recently. we usually ate out for dinner and lunch, but for breakfast, we took yoghurt, cereal (we bought milk wherever we were at the moment), cold cuts, cheese, peanut butter and bread. depending on the frequency and locations of your stops, you can always stop by by a local grocery store, pick up some things like pre-made salads and whatever else you like to eat for dinner.

i find that rolling the dough out between two sheets of parchment prevents me from using too much flour. also, no mess on the table, clean rolling pin and easy transfer! while using tricks is great and very helpful, i'm afraid by using them i'll never achieve the level of skill that my grandma and mom have which was developed through years and years of experience, without many tricks.

COCONUT CREAM PIEEEE!!!!! use instead of milk :)

i make roasted carrots with lavender sometimes.

but.. they're so much more delicious when cold...

do not overmix the batter - in my experience, this gives the end result the thick doughy texture. mix just enough to combine :)

just watching this video made me feel claustrophobic...

when i was young, my grandma had a house in a village where people around us had small farms with chickens and a few cows, and they sold home-made dairy products, eggs, as well as fresh milk. by fresh, i mean FRESH, straight from the cow, still warm. they never treated their milk and just sold it within the village community. i have never enjoyed milk more than during that time - just warm milk with fresh white bread. there is literally nothing better. i've never gotten sick from unpasteurized milk, and it didn't last in the fridge for long enough time to go bad.

i'm definitely excited to try this vat pasteurized thing. maybe it'll be closer to what milk is supposed to taste like.

make pumpkin soup!
