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

By now, it is well known in the real food community that pastured chicken eggs are more nutrient-dense and healthy than their conventional counterparts. And, if you're willing to stray further off the beaten track, chickens aren't the only birds that lay delicious and healthy eggs. Quail, duck, and goose eggs are all popular alternatives to the chicken, offering variety and different nutritional benefits. | GNOWFGLINS.com
