End Times Food — “The Last Pilgrims”

The Last Pilgrims by Michael Bunker

A group of plain people, the Vallenses, live and survive in what was once Central Texas. “The Last Pilgrims” is a good, fun, clean, thought-provoking end-times adventure story. You begin to care for and understand the people. But what I love most is that this story makes survival living and eating seem real to me. If you’re going to buy the book, please wait until February 24, 2012 to participate in the book bomb!

A departure from the usual, today I’d like to share… mostly pictures. I’ve shared a lot of these on Facebook, but I thought it would be fun to do a catch up of sorts for people who don’t see me over there. Enjoy! :)

Easy Almond Cookies

Although my family is not grain-free, I often make these cookies. They’re chewy and delicious, but I especially like that there’s no waiting on soaking or souring. The cookie base is blanched almond flour, which gives a fabulously moist, chewy texture. We’ve taken these to church too many times to count, and we always get compliments on how yummy they are.

Video Q&A #3: Sourdough Starter, Feeding and Using

Starting a Starter

Welcome back to our Video Q&A series! Today’s question comes from Tami: “I’ve seen your sourdough starter videos and have my own starter sitting on the counter now (started 8 days ago). It doesn’t take 12 hours to double, more like 3 to 5. Should I still wait the full 12 hours before feeding it again, even though it “falls” by that point? And I know you said “several weeks” for it to be ready. It smells good and sour now, will two weeks be enough? Thank you, and thanks for all the free resources! I really appreciate them!” — Tami
