Archives for February 2015

Month: February 2015

This month marks three years since we purchased our land and built a simple farmhouse. I want to share what we learned, what we love about our home, and what we wish we had done differently. Imagine yourself dropping by for a visit and a cup of tea. Don't mind the dogs -- they are friendly -- and please overlook the mess. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Building the Home on our Homestead: Our Experience

Though we now live off-grid, I once lived near a large city where many farmers and food artisans came to town weekly to distribute their traditional foods at a co-op. It was here that we purchased our weekly raw milk share, grass-fed meats, beef liver and heart, and eventually a rye bread that would change my bread-baking and eating habits forever. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Why I’m Hooked on Rye

If you can sew a straight line, you can make your own unbleached cotton milk bag in about twenty minutes for only a few dollars. A nut milk bag allows you to make delicious nut and seed milks quickly, efficiently, and with less mess. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Finding Friends & Freedom In A Restricted Diet | I'm sharing from my heart about my real food journey and how I somehow found both freedom and friends in places I least expected. I pray you will find encouragement and hope if you find yourself feeling alone, unsupported, or deprived. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Finding Friends & Freedom in a Restricted Diet

What if our children could develop true, valuable, marketable talent even before they leave our homes -- so when they are on their own, they are already passionate and successful experts in their fields? Jonathan Harris is committed to helping his children do just that. Also in today's episode... the tip of the week! | KnowYourFoodPodcast.com/102

How to Find and Develop Your Child’s Talent (KYF102)

My interest in chickens has grown ever since we started our flock two years ago with eight Rhode Island Red pullets. I recently told my husband that I would love to start raising them with an interest in preserving them. He responded with the gift of an incubator so I could hatch my own. Here are a few things we learned when choosing our incubator, and a few things you might want to consider. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

How to Choose an Incubator

Simple Herbal Muscle Rub | If you're in pain, you want to sooth the ache, right? Do you reach for the tube of muscle rub full of questionable ingredients? Of course not! Here's a simple herbal muscle rub that heals the body with God-given ingredients. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Exploring Water Filtration Options | If tap water is likely full of dangerous, cancer- and birth defect-causing chemicals and bottled water is nothing more than tap water with a fancy label, what other options do we have? I'm glad you asked! Home water filtration is tricky business, and no one wants to waste their money on expensive filtration systems that don't actually work or that may be harmful. Here are your options, from worst to best. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Exploring Water Filtration Options {which water filter is best?}

Essential Oil Diffusion Methods | Fresh lemons and spicy ginger... Those are the scents drifting over my writing area right now. I love my essential oils, and I love my cool mist diffuser humming along beside me. I've learned and discovered so much about essential oils and diffusion over the last few years -- and am eager to share! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Essential Oil Diffusion Methods

Instead of sharing conversational hearts, my little ones and loving husband will indulge in one of my favorite childhood treats -- pecan tarts. It's a recipe from my mom, only remade with less processed and more wholesome ingredients, of course. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Mama’s Pecan Tarts

Chocolate Raspberry Tea Cake | Treat yourself or surprise your honey (or little honey drops) with this delicious and nourishing Sourdough Chocolate Raspberry Teacake. Sourdough, chocolate, AND raspberry? All in one dessert? Delicious! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Chocolate Raspberry Tea Cake

I'm reminded of all that God created when I'm outside, with the rush of air over my skin, the warmth of the sun, the chill of the rain, the sharp jut of mountains against the sky. All of these wonders came to be by His word. It leaves me in awe. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

How Growing a Garden Nourishes the Soul

I would argue that Valentine's Day exists for the food. Beyond the shiny gifts, the whole idea of the day is to connect intimately with one you love. And here is a collection of real food recipes to help set the tone for celebration and romance! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Real Food Recipes for Romance

What if I told you there's a way to cook your food without any fuel costs, that it always turns out moist, and that it's as easy as cooking with your crockpot? It's all true when using the power of the sun and the All American Sun Oven. A special coupon for you, plus the tip of the week! | KnowYourFoodPodcast.com/101

Cooking with the Sun (KYF101)

Gut-Friendly Linzer Cookies {Sweets For Your Sweetie} | If you're looking for something sweet and pretty, but much healthier than the standard decorated sugar cookies or box of chocolates, consider this nourishing take on Linzer cookies! They're made with sprouted flour and all-natural raspberry jam so they're easier to digest! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Gut-Friendly Linzer Cookies {Sweets For Your Sweetie}

Once upon a time, "seasonal eating" applied to everything -- not just spring onions, summer berries, or fall pumpkins. Meats were seasonal, too. Pork was most plentiful in winter when the cold temperatures insured proper hog butchering conditions. Here's a winter pork roast, where you can make use of whatever winter vegetables you've got on hand. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Pork Roast with Winter Vegetables

Coconut oil. Tallow. Lard. Pasture butter. Ghee. Duck fat. These are the Traditional fats we typically hear so much about. Then avocado oil made its way into my kitchen. I predict that avocado oil is going to have a secure spot on our list of healthy fats very soon. And here's why. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
