I’m not much for food fads. However, I am all about eating local. In the tropics that means using gluten-free grains. I super proud of this coconut bread. We made or purchased the grains from local ingredients, made the coconut milk and oil, and used local eggs. This bread is pure Ometepe and pure deliciousness. I hope our friends at @selvistaguesthouses enjoy eating as much as I enjoyed making it. . . . . . . #glutenfree #coconut #coconutoil #coconutflourrecipes #gluten_free #glutenfreebread #local #localgrains #eatlocal #permaculture #permaculturegarden #permacultura #homemade #homemadebread #fromscratch #bakefromscratch #imadethis #travel #foodtravel #travelnicaragua #ometepe #isladeometepe #nicaragua #sustainable #sustainableliving #sustainablefood

These beauties went to our friends @selvistaguesthouses in exchange for a lovely selection of fresh produce. I love #permaculture. We sent tarts filled with #homemade mango jam and sourdough bread. They gave us Surinam cherries, tumeric, ginger and other yummy treats. Not to mention a sack full of mangos to make more jam. If you’re interested in sourdough or other baked goods we are happy to bake for you too... . . . . . . #mango #starfruit #surinamcherry #tropicalfruit #permaculturegarden #barter #eatlocal #knowyourfarmer #bread #sourdough #sourdoughbread #tarts #fruittarts #mangotarts #baking #travel #travelnicaragua #nicaragua #ometepe #isladeometepe

Mmm mmm yummy! First #sourdough bread made from our own starter. One step closer to self sufficiency. No more yeast to buy. Coming soon to the Santa Cruz market. . . . . . #bread #breadmaking #sourdoughbread #sourdoughstarter #homemadebread #homemade #makeitdontbuyit #selfsufficient #sustainable #sustainability #sustainableliving #sustainabletravel #baking #bakingbread #fermentation #fermentedfoods #slowfood #slowdown #natural #permaculture #ometepe #nicaragua #yummy #yummyfood #imadethis #farmersmarket #naturalyeast

We made our first batch of coconut oil soap yesterday. We started by pressing our own oil and have been progressing from there. We unmolded these beauties this morning and because we used a hot process they are ready to use already. We are excited to experiment with other great tropical ingredients that grow here. What are your favorite tropical soap ingredients? #coconutoil #soap #soapmaking #makeitnotbuyit #homemade #local #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #sustainability #sustainable #sustainableliving #tropical #ometepe #nicaragua

What’s on your #bookshelf ? Books are hard to keep in the tropics but there are some you’ve just got to have. Here are a few of ours. #books #naturalbuilding #greenbuilding #cookbooks #permaculture #library #neverstoplearning #sustainability #sustainableliving #mondaymotivation #ometepe #nicaragua
