Tuesday Twister Blog Carnival

Welcome to the Tuesday Twister Blog Carnival for March 9th! The theme of this blog carnival is to share, through words and pictures, what’s twisting in our kitchens during the past week. Show us your GNOWFGLINS – God’s natural, organic, whole foods, grown locally and in season. I’m eager to see what’s been twisting in your kitchens this week!

RFQM: Proteins Q & A

RFQM: Proteins Q & A

Another Real Food Quote Monday (RFQM), another Q & A… This question comes from a reader, Tiffany. She asks, “I was hoping you could explain about the proteins in beans and legumes. I’ve heard some vegetarian friends say you have to have a grain with your beans to make a complete protein out of the nutrients. It just doesn’t jive. If the nutritional content is 9g protein per serving, isn’t that what’s there?”

Glorious Kefir Grains

Glorious Kefir Grains

This is about 3 cups of dairy kefir grains, with some finished kefir surrounding them. I had just taken them out of a finished batch of kefir. This post is a bit rambly – just some thoughts about making kefir in the winter.

Guest Post: Baked Custard Video

Guest Post: Baked Custard Video

I’m super excited about this guest post -slash- guest video! From the beautiful and inspiring blog “Keep it Real,” Tara and her son, Will, videoed themselves making Baked Custard from Nourishing Traditions. My whole family watched the video last night, each of us with big grins. Will is an amazing kid, and Tara is a patient, talented, and loving mom! In print, Tara also shares more about Will’s autism, her children, her life, and their real food journey.

Fat Rendering Event

Fat Rendering Event

I attended a fat rendering event last Saturday, hosted by the Eugene, Oregon chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Some chapter members had lots of beef, lamb and pork fat accumulating in their freezers, so they planned this fun event to educate us all and share the abundance.

RFQM: Iodine Q & A

RFQM: Iodine Q & A

Today’s RFQM (Real Food Quote Monday) is also a Q & A. Someone asked my husband recently about regular table salt – don’t we need the iodine it contains? The answer surprised me.
