The Rocks and Dirt Bakery

It’s hot or semi-hot depending on where you are at and you’re tired. If you’re an adult I give you permission to have dips for dinner. These seasonal dips come together in a flash and with the right dipping implement they make a meal IMO. I am also that same person who says cake and pie for breakfast (on occasion) are eh-okay 🤭 they are all gluten & dairy free and vegan and 3 of them are Paleo. Cauliflower hummus is Whole30

Let me know which one you’d like to make and I will send you the RECIPE

Hopefully this gets your Monday off to a better start. We got some desperately needed rain last night- I hope some rain is coming your way too 🤗

Just in time for salad season- I have just published my first book ”Hold the Lettuce….hearty salads that won’t wilt” These truly are hearty healthy salads that are 100 % gluten, dairy and refined sugar free and almost all are also vegan. All are customizable to whichever protein you may desire to add. These are 4 season salads packed with seasonal local ingredients. They also reflect my love for growing veg in my west coast garden.

This book also reflects my Vancouver Island roots & love for hand-made pottery. A few featured in my photos are Back Lane Pottery Susan Wallace k e l s e y • b o y c e & Bainbridge Island based Cortney George

The book is available on Amazon (Canada U.S. U.K. Aus NZ and most of Europe) and is also available as an e-book if you have a Kindle device or app. Above is a little sample of some of the salads you will find in this book.

This has been a massive passion and endeavour of mine to bring all of my recipes to print. Watch for more cook-books down the road. I deeply appreciate your support and know you will love these salads as much as we and all of our test makers and tasters have.

If you have already received my book (it was released last week) please take a few minutes to leave me a review! Thank you! Kimberley
