Sauerkraut, Day 4

I think Day 4 might be even more boring than Open Original Shared Link. Check your kraut. Fix the water level if needed.   I'm going to leave you to your own fermenting devices now. Check your kraut daily. I'll post again when something interesting happens with this batch.   Until then, good fermenting luck!

Sauerkraut, Day 3

Miss something? Go back to Open Original Shared Link or Open Original Shared Link.   Day 3 is pretty boring. Check your kraut. Make sure the water level is right. If it's too high, pour some water out of the pint mason jar. Too low, either push down on the jar or add a little brine (1 c water to 1 T salt).   Give it a good sniff. Smells like cabbage, huh? Give the friendlies a couple days to really get to work. It will start smelling sour pretty soon and lose that cabbagy aroma. Since I kee

Sauerkraut, Day 2

Miss something? Go back to Open Original Shared Link!   I got up this morning and was just so excited to check on my kraut! It had been sitting on the counter since yesterday and I had pushed down hard on that mason jar every time I passed it. When I went to bed, the water level was almost to the top of the cabbage. I had high hopes that the cabbage would be well submerged by morning.   Well, my hopes were realized and more! The water had actually overflowed and now there was a lovely puddle

Roasted Winter Squash

In the fall, when winter squash are in season and CHEAP, we buy lots of them. We roast 'em, bag 'em, and freeze 'em. That way, we have winter squash puree all year. Winter squash is an incredibly versatile ingredient and adds a nice sweetness to soups.   Our favorites include buttercup, ambercup, carnival, delicata, sweet meat, pink banana, and hokkaido. If you do not have a meat cleaver or ax, stick to the smaller squash like delicata and ambercup. Otherwise, go for the big ones! They're more

Winter Squash Souffle

This post is part of The Healthy Home Economist's Open Original Shared Link!   I have never had any kind of souffle, so I am not sure if these little treats resemble it in any way other than it puffs up and falls. When I hit on this recipe, the kids were immediately in seventh heaven. Souffle is our number one requested food around here.   Winter Squash Souffle Serves 4 1/4 c Open Original Shared Link 1 c Open Original Shared Link, cooked 8 large eggs 4 T ghee [*]Preheat oven to 350 de

Crazy Diet People, Part Two

In Open Original Shared Link I came to the conclusion that writing myself off as a "Crazy Diet Person" isn't the best choice I can make when describing our diet or turning down an offer of a meal. If we want to succeed at maintaining our family's health through our diet, we need to believe in it, and not discount ourselves out of hand. We need to be clear on the reasons what we are doing actually makes good sense.   But maybe our diet is kind of crazy, just like any diet that bucks the Open Or

Walnut-Almond Butter

A variation on a theme! Quite rich and so delicious. Open Original Shared Link - it makes them digestible and, in the case of walnuts, makes them less bitter.   Makes approx. 2 cups 1 c crispy almonds 2 c crispy walnuts 1/2 c ghee (room temp) or coconut oil (barely melted) 1 T raw honey 1 t sea salt (finely ground Celtic or Himalayan)   Grind nuts and sea salt in food processor to fine powder (like flour). Add honey and coconut oil or ghee and process until smooth. Store in fridge.

To The Beach!

A couple weeks ago we went to the Oregon Coast for a few days to visit Kelsy's grandma. Even small trips like this always take quite a bit of planning and preparation in order for us to maintain our diet!   Kelsy packed us up - this is what we brought: Eggs from our hens Homemade sauerkraut Ghee Baked winter squash Chicken stock Borcht (beet soup in a beef stock base) Roast beef Cauliflower Kale Broccoli Carrots Almond muffins Orange curd Thermoses

Evolution Of A Garden

I bought our little falling-down house on a big city lot back in the late summer of 2007. The 1/4 acre lot complete with large shade trees enchanted me. I imagined the kids in tree-houses, me in a hammock, a thriving vegetable garden, chickens clucking, and friends having dinner around a fire. We've put a lot of work into trying to achieve that dream over the past few years, but it's been a haphazard process of trial and error.   This year, we decided to scale back our garden and finally make

Gaps Resources

Lately people have been asking us for where to go on-line to get good information and support for the GAPS Diet. This diet is aimed at restoring the health of the gut, and the balance of the bacteria and fungus that live there. By giving the gut a chance to heal, many health problems can be reduced or eliminated.   It can be tricky to find good information, because a lot of people who think they are doing GAPS are not actually following the diet! Additionally, there are many stages of the GAPS

Crazy Diet People, Part One

UPDATE: This post is part of Kelly the Kitchen Kop's Open Original Shared Link!   Way back when, I had a vegan husband. He wasn't just any vegan, he was one of those vegans who actually didn't own a piece of leather, avoided drinking beer, and wouldn't use china because of the bone in it. I learned to cook vegan, pack food to other people's houses, and make polite excuses for his unconventional diet. When we got divorced, one of my favorite things was not having to explain. I relished being a

Let The Liberation Begin

This blog is basically a mirror of the blog that Open Original Shared Link keep at Open Original Shared Link. You'll see a blitz of posts for a while as I get all our old posts transfered over here! We randomly post about what we're eating, the garden, and whatever else might come to mind. Because our family is on the GAPS diet and is 100% gluten-free, that's a bias! You can read about how we ended up making those dietary choices at Open Original Shared Link.   Here's the first, about the bus

From: Celiac Diagnosed Just Today!

Shopping can be overwhelming so I always tell new celiacs to shop the outside of the store and stick to simple foods. Label-reading will take a little practice and research. It's easy to tell that a banana or a potato is gluten-free. I detour around the bakery section. I feel like an invisible cloud of gluten is hovering in the air.   I mostly live on fruit and veggies (fresh or frozen without sauces), potatoes, rice, beans, meat, nuts, and eggs to cook. I often grab some rice cakes, Mi

From: Your Top Two Pieces Of Advice

1. You're going to get glutened occasionally no matter how careful you are. It's OK. Pick yourself up and keep going.   2. Don't worry about what others think. There will be people who say you are worrying too much about cross-contamination. You might meet celiacs or people who don't stick to the diet very well and say it's fine to cheat (it's not). You might have family members or friends who will try to guilt you into eating gluten-containing foods they have prepared. Be kind, be compas

Free Sampler Box Of Gluten Free Baked Goods

Katz Gluten Free has a promotion where if you pay for the shipping ($8 for me), they'll send you afree sampler box of gluten free baked goods.   All of their stuff is dairy and nut free, for those who need that. For me, I like nuts- the people and the food- because they add flavor and texture to life! So, I sweetly asked my Marine to get out his credit card and voila! I received the package in a few days. Since I'm watching my weight, each day I try one small item.   (For pictu

Gluten-Free Labeling and the FDA: We Are Watching (and so is Monty)

On May 4th, members of the national celiac and gluten intolerance community met in Washington, D.C., to urge the Food and Drug Administration to finalize gluten-free labeling rules, and to ask Congress to encourage and track FDA's progress. Our national community was remarkably successful in using its grass roots strength to organize together and participate in the democratic process as policy advocates. The May 4th event was led by a broad-based coalition, including nonprofit organizations, c

Reply To A Nebulous Newbie

Dear Newly Diagnosed Celiac, Gluten Free Living is a Journey...   Try to remember-it's the rainy days that help us appreciate the sunny ones. Maybe reading gluten free books, blogs, or message boards could help validate your feelings and give you eating ideas. Sometimes, your mind will jump to plenty of excuses of why you can't or why the ideas seem unrealistic, but try to focus on the "can" and the "I'll try" attitude.     Yes, I had a hard time eating the gluten free baked goods and stuf

National Celiac Disease Awareness Month

May is recognized as the National Celiac Disease Awareness Month - Horray for May!! For a disease that affects about 1 in133 Americans that are commonly misdiagnosed, it only makes sense to have national awareness day. I have been diagnosed for about 10 years now and I have been so thrilled with how much the awareness of celiac disease has grown and how manufacturers, restaurants and schools are becoming aware of the need for a gluten free diet. I used to dread going out to social events or

Health Coaching

Whether you have a single food allergy or multiple, you probably have been to allergists, general practitioners, gastrointestinal (GI) physicians and the list of traditional doctors can be endless. Well, if you want to go holistic then, the individuals to see are chiropractors, acupuncturists, herbalists, naturopathic doctors or even a health coach. Now, a health coach has studied nutrition, diet and usually health science. They can assist you in building your very own personal food pyrami

      Worm inspired treatments inch towards the clinic

      I read a research article today about how hookworms are being considered as a standard of care of colitis. Dunno about them used for obesity treatment though. The first thing I did once I figured out I wasn't reacting to gluten anymore was to head for the bakery isle. It had been 13 years..
