Fat Tuesday: August 23, 2011

RFF Food Carnival

It’s that time of the week when real foodies come together for a food festival! Fat Tuesday is the official start of Mardi Gras and here at Real Food Forager we are having our own Fat Tuesday Forager Festival! Every Tuesday come join in this Real Food Free For All!

Link up your great real food recipes, natural remedies, posts, articles and book reviews about real food, food politics, green living and our food supply.

Special diet recipes are welcome such as SCD, GAPS, gluten free, dairy free, sufar-free, Paleo, Primal, all are welcome as long as they involve REAL FOOD. Please feel free to post your recipe in the comments section if you are not a blogger.

Giveaways are welcome as long as they involve only real food items or cool kitchen tools. Pretty much anything goes — it’s party time!

The Rules are simple:

1 — No artificial ingredients. Nothing commercially canned, packaged or processed. No fake foods. No soy or tofu, no artificial sweeteners like Splenda, no bad fats like margarine, soybean or corn oil. You get the idea.

2 — Provide a link back to this post on your site (a common courtesy).

3 — Please do not make me delete any non real food linkups. Please don’t link them here. This is a place for real food recipes and issues.

4 — Please link the URL of your actual blog post and not your blog’s home page.

5 — Be kind and come back and leave a comment after linking up.

    Hi Jill!

    Congrats on the new carnival :)

    I shared our gluten-free and grain-free stonefruit tart. You can make it with any fruit, but we have an abundance of stonefruit (peaches, plums, nectarines) now.

    Enjoy and thanks for hosting!

    Thanks for hosting, Jill. today I’ve linked up a post on my top 10 Real Foods that can be stored at room temperature without electricity. I’ll warn you ahead of time, the list contains sugar, because it can be used for food preservation and wound healing. I hope you’ll all stop by for a peak and see how my top ten list compares to yours.

    HI Laurie,
    Thanks for sharing. I know sugar is used for canning and I am searching for ways around that… but our article has lots of good information! Hope to see you here next week at FAT TUESDAY!

    Hi Jill,
    Thanks for hosting!
    I’m sharing a post about juicing and one about 10 benefits of using essential oils. (It said remedies as well)..My husband learned a lot about Bernard Jensen during his Naturopathy education so I use Jensen’s juicing book a lot.
    Essential oils are amazing and very potent which is a big plus in today’s economy. They also stay potent longer than herbs.

    Hi! I saw your comment on Nourished Kitchen and thought I’d like to participate. I just posted a recipe for Salmon with Lemon-Dill Butter and an article I wrote about grass-fed beef. Now I’m off to go provide a link to you on those posts! Thanks for hosting!
