This post could've been titled: "Why I haven't written on this blog for months." To tell you the truth, my fellow hypofoodie, the reason I didn't write for a really long time is a feeling of guilt. It didn't feel right to write or suggest anything to someone else on the web when in fact, I had to counsel myself first. [...]

As most of you will have noticed, I have been making cow milk yogourt in the past. I felt it was the most creamy probiotics to eat in my morning granolas.

Do you make you own almond milk and wonder what to do with the wet nuts left afterwards? Most web suggestions requires a dehydrator or baking to obtain flour.

To replace store bought syrups and to mix in sugarless sparkling water for a great tangy taste that doesn't need too much sugar. It ressembles the tonic water in taste, minus the quininie which comes from cinchona bark and has a rather controversial use in medication.

I really love cranberries. I like them dried, fresh, cooked in a sauce or juiced. Knowing that cranberries are the north american counterpart to lemon, meaning that its PH is equivalent, it is no wonder it has so many benefits to health, protecting the urinary tract from bacterial contamination for exemple. "Sugar!
