One of the foods I love best as a snack food are nuts. Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios are high on my go-to list as a snack that is easy to carry outside of my house for times I need something. The problem is that nuts, like so many grains are hard to digest. They contain […]

I’ll admit it, if I can figure out a way to keep myself healthy (or looking good) without using drugs or man-made chemicals which could harm myself or my environment, I’ll do it. It’s not a quick process, but the more I learn, the less I buy from stores and the more I make myself. […]

For whatever reason, I’ve been fascinated with the idea of making my own condiments this year. Part of it is control, but the other part has been trying to make condiments which are healthier. I created a ketchup a few weeks ago and this time, my attention has turned to mustard. So while I’ve been making […]

This year, I wanted to do more with fermentation than with water bath canning. I still did quite a bit of water bath canning, but I still had canning left over from last year, which I need to eat, so some things (such as tomato sauce) didn’t get done this year. I have a Harsch […]

English Peas are one of those vegetables that says late spring to me. They have a very short growing season where I live, so its one of those vegetables that you really need to pounce on when they are available. While English Peas aren’t the lowest carbohydrate vegetable around, a little in a recipe can […]

At this time of the year, I get overrun with greens, both cooking and lettuces. Between the greens that come from my CSA to the greens that come on the top of my turnips and my radishes which are way too yummy to just get rid of, I end up with more greens than I […]

While I know that most low carb diets don’t allow any dairy except hard cheese at the beginning (and Paleo allows no dairy at all), I had so much success with losing weight on the raw milk cure that I’m continuing to incorporate it into my low carb diet. A few days ago, I finally […]

Day after day we are bombarded with advertisements for food that tell us how healthy something is for us. We walk into a grocery store and see the front of boxes that tell us how natural something is, or how healthy. But while some words on a label actually have a governmental meaning (Organic for […]
