Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off
time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add
the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your
next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring
items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or
cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring
order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring
order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is
highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!

This recipe can be used for breakfast in bed OR breakfast for dinner! A twist on traditional pancakes, these warming chai spiced pancakes are complemented by a lovely pink whipped cream with Smita's Cookery Rose Bloom Dessert Spice to add nuanced layers of flavor. (You can certainly just top with maple syrup instead, though, and they will still be delicious!) This recipe is also very flexible and can easily include or leave out gluten, dairy, and eggs as desired. Also, if you don't want to make the batter from scratch, you can always use your favorite pancake mix (we offer buttermilk, buckwheat, oat, and spelt!) and simply add the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, OR... if your spice cabinet is looking a little bare at the moment, even sub in some Elmhurst chai spice oat creamer for the milk and spices in the pancake batter!
Makes 14-16 pancakes
Based on a recipe by Dr. Mark Hyman
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (or sub 2 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tbsp water for vegan "eggs")
- 1½ cups whole milk or unsweetened almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar, maple syrup, or honey (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups flour (you can blend any of the following: all-purpose, half white, whole wheat, buckwheat, almond, einkorn, spelt, oat, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Rose Whipped Cream (optional):
- 1 pt heavy cream or 1 14.5 oz can unsweetened coconut cream, chilled overnight in the fridge
- 2 tsp Smita's Cookery Rose Bloom Dessert Spice
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions:
- Before making your pancake batter, take the mixing bowl you plan to use for whipping the cream and place it in the freezer to chill.
- To make the pancake batter, add the eggs, whole milk or almond milk, vanilla extract, 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil, and the sugar (or maple syrup or honey) to a large mixing bowl. Beat until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the flour(s), baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth with no lumps. Depending on the flour blend you used, if you find that your batter looks too thick to scoop and pour, you can add more milk until it feels like the right consistency.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add some of the remaining butter or coconut oil (about 1 teaspoon) and pour two or three ¼-cupfuls of batter into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes (until the bottoms of the pancakes are set), then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining butter or coconut oil and batter.
- To make the optional whipped cream, add heavy cream or the solid part of the coconut cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix until creamy (or until semi-sturdy peaks form in the heavy cream), then add maple syrup and Rose Bloom Dessert Spice. Mix again until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Serve the pancakes with whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
