About Back to the Source 
Elsie is the author of Back to the Source, a food blog that focuses on frugal, nutrient-rich culinary creations. She loves learning about real food with her husband and discussing it over glasses of creamy raw milk. Her ideal meal would probably begin with a loaded salad, lightly dressed, end with creme brulee, and have plenty of [coconut oil] fried shrimp in the middle. Elsie also teaches junior high and dreams of one day owning a pet pig.

I've found my match, and now I have a brand to recommend to friends (and a database here of delicious recipes!).

Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
Cake or pie? That was the “question of the day” that my high school students had to answer at the end of their Spanish test. In general, I’m a pie girl myself. Oh, but some cakes…some cakes eliminate all competition with a … Continue reading
