Over the past few years, I’ve ordered all of my meat from I order my meat from a local farmer. He not only sells beef, but poultry, pork, lamb and goat. I tend to have two orders, a spring order which includes beef and pork and a winter order which includes beef and a whole […]

One of the frustrations of doing a gluten-free and low carbohydrate way of eating is sometimes you just want something hot and heavy and cheesy. I haven’t had lasagna in many years, but I knew this summer that I wanted to experiment with making it out of my preserved foods. So when I had a […]

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 […]

The days are cooling off nicely as are the nights. Which means its time to make sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is simply finely shredded cabbage which is fermented. The name simply means “sour cabbage”. Sauerkraut is traditionally made from Autumn cabbage, when the weather cools. I tend to use spring/summer cabbages for slaws. Sauerkraut, like any fermented […]

While many people equate a gluten-free way of eating with low-carbohydrate, they are not the same. For many people, including myself, eating foods that are gluten-free is a medical necessity. We need to eat foods free of contamination by wheat, barley and rye to avoid being sickened. Low-carbohydrate on the other hand is a choice […]

“Reduce your diet by 500 calories a day and lose a pound a week!” I’ve been seeing headlines like that for a long time and I’m sure you have too. So why when I did exactly what was promoted did I not lose weight? Since I’ve had such great success at losing weight on a […]

Recently a co-worker and I were talking about food. He mentioned how much he liked soft-shelled fried crabs but couldn’t have them very often since they were so high in cholesterol. Earlier this week, a friend on a social network typed “Not to stir stuff (actual word substituted), but even skinny people can get clogged […]

So there I was at Whole Foods, doing a little bit of grocery shopping. I saw a package of egg salad at the deli counter and thought to myself that it would be nice to make some. I always have pastured eggs at home, but I don’t usually have mayonnaise. I know it’s a staple […]

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 […]

As I’ve remarked, I’m currently following a ketogenic diet (also known as Low Carbohydrate). Since Calorie Restriction did not work for me, I’m going back to what I know. For many people, low carbohydrate means lots of bacon and very few vegetables. That simply isn’t true. It does mean that starchy vegetables are out during […]
