“Sourdough Camping” Video — A Thank You!

“Sourdough Camping” Video — A Thank You!

I knew this month’s eCourse thank you video would be especially fun when Erin called me (while on the road for several weeks) and said she was taking videos of their sourdough adventures. Inspiration hit on the trip, and she made pancakes twice — on film. In this post, we answer the burning question, “Why do you give thank you gifts, anyway?” and give you peek behind the scenes of eCourse lesson production.

Zatar — Za’atar

Zatar — Za’atar

Zatar, or za’atar, is the Middle Eastern name for a family of herbs that includes oregano, thyme and marjoram. The way I know za’atar, though, is as a spice mixture that starts with those herbs — ground up — and adds toasted sesame seeds and salt. Sometimes, people add ground sumac, too. Mmm… Ever had it?

The Tale of Carl, a Sourdough Starter

Hey, everyone! Please meet Joy, who blogs at A Well-Armed Laura Ingalls Wilder. For this week’s Sourdough eCourse lesson, Katie, Erin, and I each answered 10 questions about how sourdough fits into our lives. Then we asked the eCourse members to share their answers, too. Many have, much to my delight! Joy’s answers were particularly entertaining. I know you’ll enjoy them as much as we all did on the eCourse forums. Thanks, Joy!

Video: Skype Call with Ann Marie

You know what, I was really nervous about this. Blogging is one thing, being “live” is another. Know what I mean? But, this video recorded Skype call with Ann Marie @ CHEESESLAVE turned out well and more importantly, it was fun! In this post is the video of the first 10 minutes of our Skype call. We chatted about my eCourse, about the food allergies that led my family to Nourishing Traditions, and even about my previous state of denial that we could eat better and feel better.

Tips for Maintaining and Establishing Routines

Tips for Maintaining and Establishing Routines

We’re all capable of learning new routines – especially if we have a little help to get our head around the possibilities. But maintaining those routines can be a harder challenge. When the thrill wears off of trying something new, we’re left with the choice to keep something up… or let it go. So it is important that not only do we keep pressing forward and learning new healthy skills in our kitchen, but that we do it in a way that we can keep up and maintain that momentum. This article is a special release from inside the eCourse.
