Warming Beef and Cabbage Soup

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

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

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

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

The Big Flat Real Food Reuben Sandwich | Who knew that making a big honkin' loaf-sized sandwich and flattening it under cement blocks, rocks, or gym weights could be so fun (or so delicious)? I'd seen other Big Flat Sandwiches around the internet, but when Wardee first presented the idea of making a real food Big Flat Sandwich, I immediately knew I needed to try my all-time favorite sandwich -- the Reuben. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Dehydrate Your Way To Green Powder | I know I can freeze my greens, but I have an even better way of preserving the them -- I turn them into a nutritious green powder which I can then add to countless dishes (even on the sly). Here's how to dehydrate greens into powder! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Pickled Radish Pods | Radishes are a favorite crop in our homestead garden. They are easy to grow and we enjoy the many heirloom varieties available. Occasionally I plant more than we can eat or harvest to preserve for later, so I allow them to go to seed. The radishes produce beautiful little flowers and seed pods perfect for a garden snack! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Toasted Pesto Tomato Sandwich | Basil plants giving you a bumper crop? Don't let it go to waste. Prolific basil adds robust flavor to any dish. Whip up some pesto so you can enjoy this light, buttery summer sandwich. This sandwich is out of this world delicious with that other summer wonder -- heirloom tomato slices. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Cottage Radish Salad | The garden was producing baby greens, green onions, radishes, and herbs. I had cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from elsewhere. That's how this salad was born. :) By topping the greens with the vegetable mixture, you get a lovely presentation and greens that stay crisp until they hit your mouth. For the most flavor, texture, and fun, be sure to get both toppings and greens in each bite! | GNOWFGLINS.com

And my favorite thing about this recipe is the caramelized roasted peaches! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Grilled Pizza | You'll love amazing brick oven-crispy-chewy, full-flavored pizza -- and you'll appreciate not heating up the kitchen in the summer. With these techniques, your grill, and my special Italian pizza dough and sauce recipes (some of which I learned while in Italy), expect to be transported across the sea to Naples, the birthplace of pizza. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Lacto-Fermented Roasted Red Pepper Hummus | Hummus is the only dip I make -- because of its delicious flavor and versatility. The peppers in this roasted red pepper hummus make it slightly sweet while the lacto-fermentation adds a bit of tang. It's really scrumptious! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Watermelon on a Stick | Sometimes you just can't finish a big watermelon! So, preserve it by making "watermelon on a stick" -- watermelon popsicles. A refreshing treat during summertime heat, and these homemade popsicles are way better than the chemical-ridden conventional freezer treats. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Summer Shish Kabob Marinades | Shish kabob marinades... When I think summer, that's what I think of. Along with fresh vegetables from our garden, watermelon, grilling, swimming in the river, family, and sunshine. Our marinades are generally very nutritious and healthy anyway, but today I'm sharing 3 recipes with extra flavor from essential oils. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
