Gluten-Free Sausage Mac and Cheese | No surprise, like everyone, we're big fans of macaroni and cheese. I've shared a stovetop real food mac and cheese in the past. This one is gluten-free, too, but it's also baked and has a brown-rice thickened cheese sauce with smoked paprika. It's worth the extra time to make the sauce and bake the dish. It's absolutely scrumptious with the toasty oven-baked cheese. | GNOWFGLINS.com

10 Easy Ways to Pack More Fermented Foods in Your Child's Lunch | Fermented foods pack a nutritional punch for any meal. But, what to pack and how to provide variety? Here's how to make the most of your child's school lunch with fermented foods -- without adding lots of prep time. | GNOWFGLINS.com

10 Easy Ways to Pack More Fermented Foods in Your Child’s Lunch

Homemade Corned Beef | Every few months while growing up, my family visited the local New York Style deli for hot corned beef on rye (with plenty of mustard). Though much has changed since then, my taste for corned beef on rye has not dimmed. Recently, I decided to introduce my children to it. This meal -- definitely a treat because of the extra planning and prep -- was overwhelmingly adored by all! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Homemade Corned Beef on Rye

Fantastically Simple Beef Stew

Our nights are refreshingly cool, yet the garden is still producing. This is perfect weather for warming harvest soups. At least I think so! Make use of your crockpot to cook beef until tender, then combine with flavorful and colorful summer vegetables. I have been serving grain-free almond bread on the side.

Summer Garden Beef Soup

Grandma Mabel's Sauerkraut and Spare Ribs | Much of my grandmas' 82 years were spent cooking, foraging, sewing, canning, gardening, and baking. The moment we walked through the front door, we'd smell her sauerkraut and spare ribs on the stovetop. No visit was complete without it! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
