I know this crowd will rally around the idea of eating grass fed beef of course, but many of my clients assume they have to be vegetarians to be healthy. This post is for them.

It’s a time-honored principle in my family: to get the kids to eat something, cover it in cheese. What’s hiding under the bubbly cheese this week? Butternut squash, in season, in abundance, in the oven!

Hi, AnnMarie ~ I’ve been playing around to find a basic soaked muffin recipe and think I’ve done it ~ it is adaptable to many add-ins and flavors.

Hi, fellow Real Foodies! My post this week is about Connie Leas’ Fat: It’s Not What You Think. Connie’s book is a great resource for anyone who wants to understand the science of fat in a readable format. It even received a thumbs up review in the WAPF quarterly journal (and we know how tough those reviewers can be!).
Thanks for hosting another fun Real Food Wednesday, AnnMarie. Now I have to get to that post about stuff covered in cheese….

We had a TON of okra in our CSA basket and my hubby asked me about 7 times to fry it for him before I finally caved. I know I could have used a healthier oil – maybe some of you have suggestions.
I must say, though, that my husband was a frozen pizza and packaged pasta kind of guy when I met him and the other night he was eating spaghetti squash with a fork – just out of the oven, no salt, no sauce – and he was loving it. So he’s made tons of progress. I have to indulge him once in a while.

We’re not perfect yet, probably never will be, but we’re making great healthy and economical changes in our diet.

Hi Ann Marie – today’s addition is a follow-up to my Letter to PETA and their response article – People for the Unethical Treatment of Animals and Humans – a related commentary on the Issue #2 in Ohio. Thanks for the carnival!

I use a variety of this recipe for roasting vegetables too. Last night I made roasted brussel sprouts (no garlic) and I had three teen-aged boys fighting over how many they could have – made me laugh – to myself!

Hi,
I thought some might enjoy this kid friendly recipe on making natural root beer. I got the recipe from this book, A Kid’s Herb Book, by Lesley Tierra, and it is a great resource for plants and herbs, and one that my kids just love. Have fun! Thanks for the carnival…

Dagnabbit…I messed up my post add again. The post I want to add this week is “Fight Cold and Flu Season with Probiotics”, and it’s actually on my “alter-ego” blog, the Green Sense archives. I’ve got info and links to different studies that show dramatically increased resistance, reduced symptoms and quicker recovery time for colds and flu (including H1N1) with increased consumption of probiotics.
There are also recipes for homebrew kombucha, kefir and beet kvass.

I’m taking a leap from the lion’s head. I have faith in the living power of Real Food! I’m counting on the healing properties.

This is my first time to use Mister Linky, so I wasn’t aware that I needed to put the name of my recipe with my name. All it says is “Paula” – lol.
My blog name is Paula’s Ponderings and my blog post is Easy Homemade Chili! And it’s good!

Still drinking enormous quantities of raw milk kefir and homemade kombucha. Happy to share extra kefir grains and scobies for the price of postage!

Great idea for a blog carnival, give me real food any day. My potato and green bean salad is made with veggies from our garden. Great served warm. And only take 3 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker. You can do it on the stovetop of course too,it just takes longer.

You guys are AWESOME! So many wonderful recipes and articles! I enjoyed them all.
