CHEESESLAVE

CNN published this story yesterday on Jack Cafferty’s blog: “Organic food is no healthier or more nutritious than regular food. But it is more expensive. That’s according to a study commissioned by the British government and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.”

I have not one but two giveaways to announce today! One is for an exciting real food cookbook called How to Cook Like Your Grandmother. The second one is for a bottle of Erbaorganics organic baby lotion (made with coconut oil!) at the Green + Chic blog.

Life is CRAZY lately — I’ve been working 16-18 hour days lately trying to launch my new website, Real Food Media. My in-laws are coming to town this week (yay!!!) and I want to make some nice meals for us. I also want to try making coconut flour brownies this week, and I’d like to [...]

This was a really good dinner: Wild Alaskan Salmon, Caprese Salad, Buttered Corn and Rice Cooked in Homemade Chicken Stock.
This is a post I still had in draft form that I meant to post before I left for the WAPF conference. But then all hell broke loose getting ready for the trip so it [...]

I have a lot of photos so I’m going to split this up into a number of posts.
Three Stone Hearth is a community supported kitchen (or CSK) in Berkeley, California, founded by Jessica Prentice, Larry Wisch, Porsche [...]

She’s also co-owner of Three Stone Hearth, a community supported kitchen in Berkeley, California.
What’s a community supported kitchen [...]

I’ve been wanting to make homemade corn tortillas for a long time. I grew up in Texas and I love the taste of homemade tortillas. Storebought tortillas just don’t cut it. It’s like eating Wonder Bread compared to homemade sourdough.
I also want to be able to make my own corn chips, since there are no [...]

I want to share with you a wonderful comment I received from a reader, Craig, when I posted a while back on “Real French Fries” (French fries made with real grass-fed beef tallow).
Few people go back and read the comments — and I don’t blame you — life is busy! But this comment is so [...]
