Creamsicles are not very healthy, but these homemade creamsicles are! Because we’re using grass-fed cream and pastured egg yolks, these creamsicles are rich in vitamin K2, the fat soluble activator that prevents cavities and helps build strong bones. And they’re sweetened with honey instead of sugar (or high fructose corn syrup).

Ahi Poke
Ahi poke (pronounced “POH-keh”) is a classic Hawaiian food. I love making ahi poke in the summertime, because it’s nice and cool. No need to heat up the oven! And it’s my husband’s absolute favorite.
Because poke is served raw, it’s chock full of enzymes, which are very important for nutrition.
Easy Potato Salad
Potato salad is one of my favorite summertime dishes. Perfect for a barbecue or garden party, I love potato salad with baked beans and grilled hot dogs or cheeseburgers.
Since we’re using homemade lacto-fermented mayonnaise and fermented pickle relish, this recipe is good for your gut!

Italian Chopped Salad
One of my favorite summertime salads is an Italian chopped salad. We enjoy this at least once a week in the summer.
It’s easy to make, very good for you, and bursting with the flavors of summer produce. And you don’t have to heat up the kitchen.
If you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand, you can make it anyway. Just add or subtract as necessary. That’s the beauty of a chopped salad — it’s a great way to use up leftovers.
