Archives for June 2014

Month: June 2014

The Ultimate Cheese Press Is Updated! (New Video) | Just a quick note this Saturday morning to share news of my favorite cheese press, the Ultimate Cheese Press from Homesteader Supply. It's design is improved, it's now being made from hardwood maple, and it's being seasoned with organic coconut oil! The bit about seasoning is the best part. Jerri from Homesteader Supply heard my request to give us a press that's got an oil we love to use -- and she listened. | GNOWFGLINS.com

KYF #075 Listener Questions | I'm taking listener questions on: the difference between gelatin and collagen, how much kefir is too much, when is a traditional diet not enough and GAPS needed instead, and how to get one's spouse on board. Plus, the tip of the week! | KnowYourFoodPodcast.com/75

Listener Questions (KYF075)

7 Strategies to Improve Mealtime Contentment | This happened in a bad kinda way at our place. Our kids -- who have never been subject to frozen fish sticks or to a gelatinous mass of Wonder Bread -- had become food critics. I'm watching some major improvements take place; were having a real turn around. From one parent to another, I realized that I need to share my theories with you as to how it is getting better, just in case you have experienced this, too. | GNOWFGLINS.com

7 Strategies to Improve Mealtime Contentment

Rhubarb Salsa | Every year at this time my kitchen and freezer overflow with rhubarb-laden goodies. But my favorite use for rhubarb isn't a sweet dessert, though -- it's this scrumptious rhubarb salsa. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

KYF #074: Countdown to Preparedness 52-Week Plan | One week at a time, you can prepare for any kind of disaster -- whether job loss, illness, or something more widespread. That's the whole point of survival expert Jim Cobb's new book. In "Countdown to Preparedness", he shares a 52-week plan that will help you gather food and water, stock emergency supplies, create a bug-out plan, and much more. Get to know Jim through the links and information in this post, and of course through this podcast. Plus... the tip of the week! | KnowYourFoodPodcast.com/74

52-Week Plan to Get Prepared (KYF074)

'Just Another Day In Paradise' Urban Homestead | Today you get to meet Ruth, Bernie, and their seven children. They are homesteading on one-third of an acre in the suburbs, raising hens, bees, fruit trees, and a garden -- all in this small space! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Save Money on Whole Food Supplements by Using a Capsule Filler | Are you taking any whole food supplements like maca, cayenne pepper, or spirulina? You can save quite a bit of money by filling capsules yourself with the less expensive bulk powder options. I did the math. We save around $10 per month on just one person's supply of one supplement. Here's the whole scoop! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Ginger-Lemon Mocktail |Today I want to share with you the beverage that makes summer bearable for me. It's my version of a bubbly, non-alcoholic cocktail that detoxifies, invigorates, and allows you to pretend for a few precious moments that you're lying in a hammock on a white sand beach in Fiji... | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Ginger-Lemon Mocktail: The Perfect Summer Drink

Caring for Young Chicks | Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to start thinking about chicks. Why not expand your homestead flock with some new little babies? Chickens are some of the easiest farm animals to raise, and even if you don't live in the country, some cities will allow homeowners to keep a small backyard flock. | GNOWFGLINS.com

10 Herbs For Iced Tea All Summer Long | You already know the many benefits of drinking herbal tea. Enjoying them on ice is a great way to reap the health benefits and beat the heat, too! Here are 10 common herbs to use in your iced teas all summer long... | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

10 Herbs for Herbal Iced Tea… All Summer Long!

Strawberry Syrup | This strawberry syrup contains no undesirables! Kiss those conventional syrups goodbye and say hello to this deep, real strawberry flavor made from in-season strawberries. We love this syrup as a topping to pancakes, ice cream, cake, or simply eaten right off the spoon. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Strawberry Syrup

Anthocyanins: More to Love Than Color | Colors weren't just created to please our eyes. Take fruit for example -- red strawberries, dark red or purple raspberries, and the deep blue blueberries. Anthocyanins are responsible for these colors, and the purpose goes much deeper than mere (and miraculous) beauty. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Anthocyanins: More To Love Than Color

The Gelatin Secret, Part 1 of 2 | Who knew gelatin could be so beautiful... or so marvelously healing? As Sylvie McCracken found out, gelatin is one of the foods we should all be eating more. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

The Gelatin Secret, Part 1 (KYF072)

Foraging for Morels (and preserving methods)| Although we may still see a frost or two, spring has finally sprung here in northern Idaho. Our most favorite thing to do this time of year is forage for morel mushrooms! I'm thrilled to share our morel excitement with you (and I hope it's contagious) plus give you ideas for eating and preserving morels. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Foraging for Morels

Spotlight on Herbs: Cilantro and Coriander | Cilantro has quickly become one of my favorite garden plants. It is incredibly easy to grow, and its beautiful leaves add a fresh burst of flavor to so many summertime dishes. Add its many health benefits and medicinal properties to the mix, and it's no wonder I grow this plant several of my gardens!| GNOWFGLINS.com

Local Food 101: Fruits and Vegetables | How can you know if a particular food source is a wise and healthy choice? You start by talking to the farmer who produces it, asking questions that pertain to the type of food you're buying. In this post, we'll discuss fruits and veggies. Use these questions when approaching your local farmer or source. | GNOWFGLINS.com

How to Make A DIY Butterfly Feeder | Here's how to make a DIY butterfly feeder that makes a wonderful addition to any garden or flower bed. This simple feeder, made from a mason jar, some twine, and a piece of sponge, will help attract these friendly insects to your garden and give them a place to refuel. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
