Welcome to Real Food Wednesday!
You don’t want to miss Kelly’s post this week — it’s on how to make Homemade Potato Chips. Oooh yum doesn’t that sound good? Potato chips aren’t bad for you when they’re fried in a healthy fat like lard or beef tallow!
My post is a link to my podcast (internet radio) interview with Julie Feickert, owner of Cultures for Health, an online store stocked with every kind of fermented food culture you can imagine — from kombucha to kefir to sourdough. I learned so much talking with Julie — I know you will learn a lot, too.
Don’t forget — Kelly is hosting Real Food Wednesday next week!

This week I’m sharing about how to ‘grow’ your own acidic medium! Yes, you really can harness all those wonderful microorganisms floating around to help you break down the phytic acid in your food and substantially increase the nutritional value of your grains, beyond the typical soaking strategies generally recommended.

This week’s post is about hunting and gathering, something I grew up with and have recently rediscovered.

Hi! I posted about some disgusting food facts, mostly gleaned from “Food, Inc.” I’m hoping that by raising awareness, we can all help to demand cruelty-free, healthy, safe sources of meat.

This week I’m talking about the attitude that business holds toward your health, with a firsthand account… It’s really up to us to make the decision to not eat the unhealthy junk that’s offered to us, because as long as businesses CAN keep selling us cheap garbage, they will.

Hi, Ann Marie! I look forward to listening to your podcast with Julie.
Today, I’m sharing a guest post by Paula, a blind nourishing-food-blog reader. In her post, she shared what it is like to research nourishing food – before the advent of all the great real food blogs, she had to computer-scan the pages of any cookbook she wanted to read, or have her children read them aloud to her. You can imagine how thankful she is now with a special computer application that “reads” blog posts aloud to her. She’s a great inspiration – and pretty funny, too.

This week I have been feeling a bit under the weather. I am pretty sure it is due to combination of the stomach flu and overindulgence!
My cure is some good nourishing food I learned to make while studying TCM in China. Congee is a breakfast porridge that is incredibly easy to make and can be dolled up to taste like pretty much anything you want without compromising it’s nourishing qualities.

When interviewing a leading lymphatic physician for the Cellulite Investigation, I was surprised when he started talking about the connection between lymphatic health and cardiovascular disease. His explanation helped me understand more about why trans fats are so bad for the heart. Happy RFW!

Hi Ann Marie – I’m sharing an action item that arrived in my Inbox yesterday which I feel very strongly about. And I hope everyone will read this important message about the law being proposed to limit or outlaw food and dietary supplements! This could affect all of us, and I think the matter is of urgent importance .Thanks for Real Food Wednesdays!

This week I’m sharing a new “cookie” recipe. Well, my kids think they’re cookies anyway. Alton brown called them pistachio fruit balls. And sharing some trials and tribulations of my first week at soaking nuts and grains. so much to learn still!

I was spending outrages amounts of money to buy oregano oil for my family until I found out how easy it was to make myself.

Newbie here – and of course I forgot to write that in the entry above!
My post is on the necessity of bringing our food home to our kitchens rather than eating out, and teaching nutrient dense techniques to those with food sensitivities.
Thanks for hosting this, AnnMarie!

Why are people posting recipes to this site that include splenda, cool whip, skim milk or white flour? This is not the site for that!

Uh oh… thanks Christine. I haven’t had time to read through them all this week. I may have to be more specific in terms of our guidelines, and I may have to axe some of these submissions.

OK I deleted the recipe with all the industrial foods. I hate to turn people away but man, that one recipe for tapioca pudding contained FOUR highly processed, industrial foods: Low-Fat Cool Whip, Egg Beaters, skim milk, and Splenda. YUCK!
Thanks, Christine, for pointing it out.

It appears as though she took it down. It was # 50-something. Labelled as healthy tapioca pudding. The blog name had something to do with frugal.

@ Christine
I deleted it. I also went to her blog and explained why
