Here’s a very entertaining and interesting video from the Fork You! blog (great name, and it’s a fun blog). Learn to make naturally fermented, probiotic sauerkraut with a pro! It’s a fermentation demonstration with Scott Gryzbek, Founder and CEO of Zukay Live Foods.

And by the way, in case you missed it, I’m currently [...]

It’s cold and flu season. If you feel something coming on, it’s best not to run out and buy something that will suppress the symptoms. Getting sick is the body’s way of “housecleaning”. In other words, your body is attempting to rid itself of the accumulated toxins.
What you want to do is support [...]

OK so here’s what I ate today on my first day back on the GAPS Intro Diet:
Before Breakfast:
Detox herbal tea with 2 Biokult
Breakfast:
Rocky Canyon nitrate-free antibiotic-free organic pork sausage cooked in duck fat, then served in a cup of homemade chicken stock (made from pastured organic chickens)
1 cup black coffee (I don’t think it was [...]

My friend Liz (above left) and I (above right) took a trip up to Three Stone Hearth last Thursday.
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 [...]

Some of you have expressed an interest in what I feed Kate — so I thought I’d document some recent meals.
1. Breakfast:
Two pastured eggs scrambled in butter, with raw organic grass-fed beef liver (frozen and grated) and sea salt. Plus organic cantaloupe and blueberries.
Since then, I’ve stopped giving her raw berries and other fruits with [...]

Rocky Canyon Bratwurst with Dijon Mustard
Homemade Lacto-Fermented Sauerkraut
Kale Sauteed in Chicken Fat and Butter
Chicken Broth
For lunch Seth had some sliced turkey breast and avocado. He was still hungry after that (not enough fat, I told him), so I offered to make him a smoothie.
The man who said he hated coconut oil willingly and [...]

This came out absolutely delicious.
I started with a recipe from my friend Jungleen. She posted a comment a few days ago with a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore. It’s basically chicken cooked in homemade chicken stock and tomato sauce. I left out the vegetables and added arrowroot to make a thicker sauce. Then served it with [...]

I worked all day today and don’t really feel like making dinner. But I can still make a healthy meal — quickly and easily.
We’re having:

US Wellness Meats Hot Dogs (all-beef, nitrate-free, from grass-fed cows) with Homemade Lacto-fermented Sauerkraut and Pickles on Alvarado St. Bakery Sprouted Bread
Organic Green Salad with Tomatoes (from CSA box), Raw Milk [...]

Christmas is over.
We are still on vacation, though, visiting family. It’s cold in Seattle, but it’s wonderful to be with our family.
I’m thinking about goals for the new year.
1. My first goal is to lose the extra 30 pounds of baby weight by her one-year birthday, April 13th.
2. I also want to get all my [...]

This whole series (videos 1-6) is worth watching. They are talking about nutrition for autistic kids… but it is important information for all of us.
Did you know that fermenting foods increases the nutrition hundreds of times? Isn't that exciting?
Did you know that serotonin is manufactured in the [...]
