From BackboneFoodFarm.com: What exactly does this mean you may be wondering. It is a return to the old way of raising…
First of all, kudos to you for eliminating grains from you diet! As the author of the cookbook, Without Grain: 100 Delicious Recipes for Eating a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free Diet, it’s obvious that I’m an advocate for eating a grain-free diet for health, but did you know that adding Fermented Foods to your grain-free way of eating is…
I know you probably think that I’m super organized and I’m always prepared for meal times since I work from home, however nothing could be further from the truth!

Last week it was Napa Cabbage Wrapped Pork & Shiitake Rolls and this week it’s Pork, Shrimp, Shiitake & Napa Cabbage…
The black trumpet (Craterellus cornucopioides, aka “trumpet of death” or “horn of plenty”) is one of my favorite wild mushrooms.

I remember years back when those yogurt whips first came out, I bought a bunch of every flavor because I loved them so much… then promptly ate all of them in a just a few day #fail. Fast forward to today, I’d never dream of eating those processed, toxic yogurts but that doesn’t mean I can’t have…
Do you remember those “dirt” dips of the early 90’s – they were all the rage at kid and adult parties. I have to admit that I never ate them and nor do I know the exact ingredients, but I think they were combinations of things like cool whip and oreo cookies.. and let’s not forget the…
