Healthy Bakes by Catherine

Peasant Bread? Artisan Bread? It's all good!

2011-05-10T16:46:00.000-07:00

Any homemade bread is good to me as long as it has natural ingredients in it.(and LOVE!)
I use organic locally grown SPELT flour, unbleached wheat flour, fresh ground flax seed meal, sea salt, organic raw agave nectar, and vegan vegetable spread in my breads. This year I will be offering more healthy bread choices for you bread lovers out there! Sprouted grain breads, Cinnamon rolls, savory bread bowls, and more! FARMERS MARKETS will soon be here and I am getting my artisan hands geared up for another successful season. Hope you will support your local farmers market ~ it's good for you and the planet!

Diary of the Banana!

2011-03-05T08:15:00.000-08:00

Dear Diary,
I can help it. I want to be eaten. I do however ask that I be eaten with my best buddies whole oats and flax. These guys want to be eaten too ~ really badly! We all love going places, especially the human body. We get to release all of our goodness into them so that they will feel good and then they will want more of us.
I know I won't live forever on this tree so I may as well do a body good and live through them. I think this may be my last entry as I am ripening quickly and she keeps on looking me and just brought out the walnuts!

These Double peanutbutter cupcakes were amazing and delish! Made with orgainc spelt flour, I was surprised at the great texture they had. The peanut butter icing was whipped to perfection and so light and smooth. I would love to start making cupcakes for some of the local coffee shops. So much fun to offer healthy & tasty sweet treats for the sweet tooths out there!

Not too Sweet~ Scones for a Treat!

2011-01-28T21:02:00.000-08:00

I have a new sone mix just for your sweety pie. It's Pink Peppermint and it is just the right amount of sweet and great with a nice chocolate peppermint tea!
Pictured is my famous White Chocolate Lavender Scones mix. If you don't like Peppermint I have about 18 other flavors you can try! You can purchase these at our shop now or Beekers General Store in February. Made with locally grown organic spelt flour, sugar or stevia, non aluminum bakng powder, sea salt and peppermint bits. You can whip up a batch for Sunday morning in a pinch!

Snacks and More in Downtown Elmore!

2011-01-14T14:04:00.000-08:00

THE STUDIO ~ 339 Rice Street in Downtown Elmore Ohio.
Healthy Bakes is now in Elmore ~ Granola, Snacks, Loose Herbal teas, and more!
I like to call this my shop away from home. This is such a wonderful way for artisans to come together in one place to get shoppers in one place to find one-of-a-kind handmade items for gift giving or yourself. This quaint little shop has amazing finds, so much charm and the ladies who operate it are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet! I love being a part of something so special in a small town like Elmore. Your visit to this village will not be short as there are plenty of places to go. Schedel Arboretum, Benches Greenhouse, the Antique Shops and restaraunts are just minutes if not steps away from each other.
Support small community shops and explore the possibilities!

Winter is here
as we wait out the long cold nights
and short days....baking breads & cookies
we gather for Christmas....remembering
another year with a kiss and dreams for more peace in the world.
The kids will sleep in and play with new gifts and
memories will be created by them to share later.
These are the days of the nostalgia in all of us.
Happy Holidays.

New Breads!

2010-03-15T12:51:00.000-07:00

Organic locally grown spelt in my new spelt breads with no sugar or butter.
I wanted to make these so that vegans and diabetics could enjoy them.
I've been experimenting with some new savory flavors that I will hopefully have perfected by Farmers Market Season! The variety goes: Plain Spelt, Honey Spelt,
Spelt with Flax, Cinnamon Raisin Spelt, Blueberry Spelt, Apricot Walnut Spelt, Cinnamon Cranberry Walnut Spelt, and Spelt/Rye.

Join us for some Lasagna and do the Salsa!

2010-02-26T05:57:00.000-08:00

Are you confused? Let me explain.

Lasagna gardening is a gardening technique

that I have implemented into my gardens

about 5 years ago and find that it is so easy

to maintain and you can grow the most amazing fruits & veggies!

With this method we will be experimenting with a salsa garden.

I will bring everything you need to grow to make salsa.

Tomatoes will be heirloom varieties, herbs & even onions!

At the picking season we will then have a salsa contest!

I will be doing 3 of these classes so that no one misses out.

I will also share some unique recipies to inspire you!

Look at the sheduled events to see when & where the classes are

and sign up today.

Growing from seed is so easy and fun!

Voila! You will succesfully grow tomatoes and herbs
I will even help you along with helpful tips.
I will be growing right along with you and I'll be posting pictures
and to give you tips and helpful hints on growing.

and we will salsa while we eat!

Hey who's bringing the chips?

Scones for your Valentine or Tea!

2010-02-08T05:51:00.000-08:00

Chocolate Blueberry is my favorite but

the Triple Cherry Chocolate Scone Mix

flew off the shelves this weekend and I am

sure by Valentine's Day all of the shops I am

supplying will be out!

If you need a nice food gift for a homemade gift basket

or need something sweet to make in a pinch, these

mixes are quick, easy and you'll be sure

to get a healthy chocolate fix!

I'll be restocking for this weekend for

Beeker's General Store in Pemberville,OH.

They are having a Progressive Tea.

I will be at Kitchen Tools and Skills in Perrysburg, OH

teaching how to make the perfect cheesecake and how to

infuse teas into scones. I will have

mini raspberry swirled cheesecakes

for sale after the class.

Our shop has a large selection of scone mixes as well as

lots of other baked goodies.

Summer Kitchen Girls have a nice selection and

you can get a free 'happy brownie' with any purchase in their store.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Souper Bowl Recipe

2010-01-27T06:11:00.000-08:00

Here is the recipe for the wonderfully warm

vegetarian soup we had at the Summer Kitchen

last Thursday night. I served this up with some

sundried tomato & basil focaccia bread topped with

a spinach and basil pesto.

This meal was so low in calories and fat that we had to

finish it all off with a little dessert.......Happy Brownies!

1 head of garlic, unpeeled

1 TBSP olive oil +

1 lrg yellow onion chopped

1 32 oz container of vegetable broth

1 1/2 cup leftover boiled potatoes

or mashed potatoes

2 cups thinly sliced carrots

1 TBSP fresh Rosemary

1 tsp dried basil

1 TBSP fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried

4 cups fresh spinach leaves or swiss chard

1 can (15oz) cannellini beans, rinsed Serves 8

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice off the top 1/3 of garlic & discard. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil & wrap in foil & roast for 30 -40 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze roasted garlic from the papery skin into a small bowl and discard the skin.

2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Add onion & cook 5 minutes or until translucent. Add broth and one third or the garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.

3. Working in batches, puree potatoes and onion -broth mixture in blender until smooth. Return to pan.

4. Stir in carrots, rosemary, basil, parsley and remaining garlic and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.

Flavorful Herbal Soup

2010-01-08T08:18:00.000-08:00

This is the soup for the Souper Bowl at

the Summer Kitchen in Helena Ohio.

This soup is of course vegetarian/vegan

and uses 4 of my favorite herbs.

I will also have some herbed butters

and fresh baked wholesome baguettes to

feed you!

Get fed while having fun! And the shopping experience....

it doesn't get any better than this!

This soup takes no time at all to make

and tastes amazing!

I actually got some things done while making it!

Roasted Garlic takes 1/2 hour. You can do some
chopping or other stuff while that's in the oven!

Boil some small potatoes while helping with homework.
(I used our organic home grown yukon gold babies!)

This is one of my favorite suppers, it's nutritious

and packed with flavor. It's also a great soup for people

trying to cut back on their sodium intake.

I'll post the recipe after the class.

New Sign of the Thymes

2009-12-26T16:44:00.000-08:00

This is our new sign for our new year and our

up and coming bakery/garden shop and down the

road, cooking school. My husband is

constructing the post as I write this and I can't

wait until it is out front surrounded by new

seasonal edible(herbs) landscaping, some enchanted

garden art and maybe a hidden garden troll for luck!

And the lost will be lost no more!

I will be adding a few hand painted embellishments

to this sign before it goes up. Stop by to see!

New Scone Mixes Line Up!

2009-10-03T17:39:00.000-07:00

Coming soon to the Summer Kitchen

New ways to use up apples and

pumpkin for the fall and winter season!

We are still in the taste testing stage for these

scrumptioso treats, and

have one picked out for sure.

Sorry, can't reveal until the final okay!

We will keep everyone posted!

In the mean time you can still get other great

scone mixes at either of our shops.

Don't forget the Tea!

Gluten Free Pancakes are on the Way!

2009-09-01T16:22:00.000-07:00

Blueberry, Spiced Pecan,

Cherry Chocolate Walnut,

Carrot Cake?

These sound like muffins not pancakes!

Well why not! We all love muffins and pancakes for breakfast but

only if they have wholesome ingredients and are low in fat and

calories and they must contain whole grain and flaxseed meal! Right!

Top these babies with low glycemic Agave nectar and a side of fresh fruit

and you'll scarf these down (slowly) faster than you can say "More Please!"

I will be carrying these in my shop this fall and in my Etsy shop as well.

Healthy Bakes & an artistic place to pause

2009-08-15T19:07:00.000-07:00

Healthy Bakes will be coming soon

to Davinci's Coffee House & Art Gallery

in downtown Fremont Ohio.

Veganated YES! Hydrogenated NO!

2009-06-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

Non of my Granolas contain any hydrogenated ingredients.

Never have & never will!

In fact, I'm always trying new was to improve healthy bakes so that

everyone can enjoy them. I already cater to the needs of the Vegans out there

and would also like to do the same for those with food allergies.

Gluten Free bakes are on the way!

I know that there are not a lot of choices out there for gourmet mixes

for those people so I feel the need to help them out.

Wish me luck!

Better than Dessert!

2009-06-14T06:59:00.000-07:00

Using fresh herbs from our gardens....

and creating wonderful whole wheat artisan breads.......

toasting or grilling with cheese, pesto butter, and veggies.

Yes, I would rather have a snackwich than a sweet dessert!

These breads are available at Mutach's in Marblehead Ohio,

Fremont, Genoa, and Port Clinton Farmers markets

and of course our little garden shop!

We ship our breads too if ya ever get a hankering!

Sunday Dessert

2009-06-07T19:44:00.000-07:00

I was working out in the gardens today and was too tired to

cook dinner so we all ordered Applebee's salads. But I had to run

to the grocery first for a couple of things and dessert was going to be

one of them. I had to get milk and some cheese for the cooking demo

this Thursday and by the time I was back home eating my salad,

I looked at my husband & suddenly realized I had forgotten

the most important item! Oh noooo. No sweets for my sweet!

I told him I would make him some yummy

cheesecake! He said, "Just make some happy brownies."

I made both! He is so spoiled!

This is a lowfat, caramel chocolate chip cheesecake with a extra thick

crust of graham cracker, toasted almond and flaxseed meal.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

Swirls of Yum!

2009-05-10T16:20:00.000-07:00

Gearin up for the farmers market this coming weekend!

If you happen to be boating on the Sandusky River

you may want to stop by Jimmy Bukkets at Memorinaville for one

of these unbelievable Peanut Butter Happy Brownies!

Boating memories are made even better with food!!

MOODY BLUES?

2009-05-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

The cure of course is

Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Cookies or.....

maybe a Lemon Blueberry Scone?

Or how about a Blueberry Happy Brownie?

If one of these Blueberries n' Cream Muffins don't do it .....

You will just have to pout it out until our next post!

Eat Smart, Snack Happy!

Cravin Corn Bread

2009-04-21T12:15:00.000-07:00

I love cornbread, who doesn't! And I've been trying to create a vegan version of

my moms old recipie. Using bacon drippings, milk and egg does not appeal to me

for a recipie so simply made with cornmeal, flour, soymilk, baking powder, and of course

my favorite....the add ins! Super sweet corn, jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, and

mexican oregano. This is so moist and chock full of yum!

Just in time for those last cold days of spring with a bowl of vegetarian chili!

Wake up with someZing!

Oh how I love this delightfully moist dessert!

Swirled with homemade Strawberry Preserves.

It tastes like fresh strawberry patch...... in a cake!

I know that Spring has not yet arrived, at least according to

the calendar but today it was spring in my mind!

St. Patty's Day Inspiration

2009-03-02T05:26:00.000-08:00

So far the Scone Mixes have been doing well and I was once again brain storming up new flavors and wanted something green! Not the food colored or veg filled kind! I was thinking something cute and green like a tiny mint chocolate chip! Mint Chocolate Chip Scones served with a cup of peppermint tea anyone? Loverly for a St. Patty's Day Tea or a gift to your Irish friends.

I can't wait to get started!

One of my cookie foodie followers has reminded me of my absent mindedness about posting the Breakfast Cookie of the month. Hopefully I will

have her or others to help me remember this!

Since I have been so inspired by the GREEN I will just have to bake a batch of the Mint Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies in hopes that

this will help my memory!

For a quick reminder to you (& myself) you can order 1 or a dozen of these for 2.50 a piece. Just in time for St. Patty's Day! (& thru the month of March)

Lovely India Sweets

2009-02-23T06:53:00.000-08:00

These Rose and Cardamom Leaf Cookies were very good! Studded with pistachios and rose petals they look pretty too! Because of my love for plants I decided to take this traditional cookie from India and changed it up to make it look more botanical. (These are usually just made into rounds.) There is only one left and I am saving it for dessert later!

My Troubles over Truffles

2009-02-08T19:18:00.000-08:00

Well I have to say, my only trouble is not being able to eat them because they are for someone else! Okay I may have nibbled one or two but that was obviously for taste testing!

These decadent babies will get you your cocoa fix in one little bite! The Ghirardelli Chocolate was infused with Summer Kitchen peach tea and then bits of dried turkish apricots were added to some and a mixture of dried rasberries, apricot, pineapple, cherries, cranberries, & currants to another and then I infused the last batch with the Summer Kitchen Blend tea and added coconut & macadamia nuts and coated them all with semi sweet chocolate! You can get them for your sweety this week at Crazy Dog Coffee Co. They are so rich and cocoa is soooo good for you. These have 75% cocoa. Healthy Hearts bring Strong Love! Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

Treat your Canine Sweety to these Cuties!

2009-02-01T20:27:00.000-08:00

I like to bake for all mammals!
These treats use to please my dog Sadie before she passed away this last November. (I miss her so. She lived 13 healthy years.) I was watching the Ukanuba Champion Dog show today and I've got my eye on the cute little Welsch Corgy!
My husband & I are planning on adopting another great dog into our family this coming spring. Biscuit making days are not over for this dog lover!

2009-01-25T08:38:00.000-08:00

Summer Kitchen Scones for your sweetheart! Scumptious idea!

These were developed just for my girls at the Summer Kitchen in Helena Ohio.

They were also feature on Kari & Kijsa as well!

Infused with the Summer Kitchen Blend tea, these compliment any black tea or rich flavored tea. Macadamia nuts, vanilla, toffee, white chocolate oooolala!

This is a new and wonderful full flavored biscotti - Rosemary Almond
You can tast the rosemary and deep flavor of the toasted almonds. No butter either! Healthy & delicioso!

Czech Braided Bread

2009-01-12T07:21:00.000-08:00

My family loves this one - and I only make it around the holidays. It is similar in taste to the traditional Italian Panetonne!

This bread is so soft and just slightly sweet.

So good toasted with a marmelade butter! Yum

New Healthy Bakes

2008-11-23T08:42:00.000-08:00

Easy Scone mixes for you to make at home!

The Summer Kitchen Girls got me going on this! I want to get everyone in the kitchen this winter to enjoy these. These are so easy to make Karla's 10 year old daughter Sofie did it!

So far we've got Pistachio & Fig, Gingerbread, Cranberry Orange, Classic Cream, Carrot Cake, Hazelnut-Chocolate Chip & even a savory Santa Fe scone mix with more savory flaves coming soon. All made with flaxseed meal and unbleached flour, organic sugar and wholesome dried fruits & nuts. I am going to be working on some gluten free mixes too.

Don't forget the Tea or Hot cocoa!

The little Italian Cookie is Huge!

2008-11-23T08:31:00.000-08:00

The Biscotti options out there are endless!

I had to narrow down the menu by picking the most popular flavors and then using my kitchen for another throw-down I created a healthy but delicious treat! These are not tiny cookies either!

Once again Butter, I win!

2008-11-23T08:14:00.000-08:00

Ooolala look at these!

Turtle & New York Yummo!

To make these baby's guiltfree I use Neufchatel cheese and no heavy cream. The crust has flaxseed meal and less sugar.

Warning: These do not taste healthy!

You can stay at home or......

Breakfast for beginners

What did you start eating for breakfast when you were old enough to get it yourself?
I'm thinking that most kids today woof down a pop tart, and the teens skip breakfast, adults danish & coffee. Wait a minute that's what my generation did! Why is it that we don't eat after we've been asleep for 6-8 hours. Shouldnt we be hungry after that amount of time has passed.
I wonder how we went from eating as babies wholesome oatmeals & rice cereals to just a cup of java?
