Soaked Apple Cider Donuts | Apple cider is almost as iconic as colored leaves. It shouts cheerfully “Fall is here! Fall is here!” As families flock to pick apples, orchards offer the ever-popular treat: apple cider flavored donuts. The common recipe is easy to spruce up and make real food friendly at home. And of course, it's best enjoyed with a warm beverage for dunking! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Runner's Story | I woke up on the big day -- the day devoted to butchering our first rooster, Runner -- to the sound of squawking guineas and roosters crowing.

Yesterday's Food: A Conversation With My Grandma | My maternal grandmother is an active and healthy 91 year old. Her secret? Eating as naturally as possible.

Easy Homemade Essential Oil Deodorant | I've tried so many deodorant alternatives I can't even count them all. Then I found this one: an easy homemade essential oil deodorant that meets all of my expectations: it smells good, it works (even combating stress-sweat, intense exercise, and hot, humid summer days), it’s economical, it doesn’t stain my clothing, and I feel great about the ingredients. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Why We Love Cast Iron | My husband asked about the black specks in the mashed potatoes. "Oh, that's just my frying pan. The non-stick coating is wearing away." Then he brought home a box of old cast iron pans from a garage sale. I ignored them as long as I could, but now? I'm the biggest fan ever -- here's why we love cast iron. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Root Veggie Tartiflette | This happy accident started when I was trying to use up a few extra root vegetables. It's not a stew. It's sort of a casserole. But it is comfort food: homey and rustic. This tartiflette (a traditional French dish) includes root vegetables, which are high in antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals. | GNOWFGLINS.com
