Enjoying "God's Natural, Organic, Whole Foods, Grown Locally, In Season"
About two weeks ago, my 11-year old son Mikah asked, “Mom, what’s mac and cheese?” 11 years old and he doesn’t know about mac and cheese? That’s part good and part bad. The good — he doesn’t know about the K-word mac and cheese. The bad? He didn’t know about homemade, real food macaroni cheese, which is a thousand times better. I knew what I must do. Macaroni and cheese was going back on the menu — real food style.
My friend Jami loves nachos. She’s eaten them all her life, especially the take-out kind. As a stay-at-home mom eating real foods, she figured she had to find a way to keep eating them — at home and healthy. So she did. We made them together this week — and you get to see it on video. Plus, print instructions included in this post.
Want to make cheddar cheese, but don’t have a cheese press or a cheese cave? Maybe the thought of pressing cheese or aging cheese just sounds too complicated and you’re not ready for it. I’ve got an idea for you. Make fresh cheddar cheese curds.
This frosting is to-die-for. You do the math: Real butter + real cream + real mineral-rich, tasty unrefined sugar = really super good frosting. I advise caution. You won’t be able to stop licking your fingers, the bowl, the cake and anything this frosting touches.
This time of year, many are looking for treats made from real, whole foods. Thus, I give you our homemade hot chocolate. This winter, Haniya’s been making this just about every day. There’s no turning down the steaming cups she hands out!
This was my birthday cake. Twice. On Wednesday, my friend Brenna and her family surprised me with it. It was so good that I called Brenna yesterday morning — my birthday morning, the day I turned 37 (just when did I begin to approach 40? I feel like I should be edging toward 30). I asked her for the recipe so I could make it again for myself. “It was so good and I want more of it.” That about sums it up.
Did you tuck a turkey carcass into the freezer after Thanksgiving? Time to get it out! Today, Roxanne from The Holistic Mama shares her easy crock pot (or stockpot) broth method. Plus, she’ll totally win you over to the health benefits of making homemade broth and stock. My method for stock, taught on video in Fundamentals eCourse, differs only slightly, and mainly in how I flavor my stock with ginger.
I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving! What’s on your Thanksgiving menu? If you’re looking for last-minute inspiration, I’ve got some great ideas in this post.
My son Mikah loves, loves, loves lentil sprouts! He got it from my dad. When my mom and dad go on road trips, my dad keeps his sprouts going. He makes stops to rinse and drain sprouts just like he used to make potty stops for us when we were growing up.
