Fat Tuesday: October 18, 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, sugar-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. And check out some of the links. There is a wealth of knowledge here.

Be sure to visit on Sunday for Sunday Snippets, a weekly post that features recipes and articles from the previous Fat Tuesday. The next feature could be yours so be sure to check back!

Last week I opened a Grain-Free food carnival linky in conjunction with my 28 day grain-free challenge. Hope to see some of your great grain-free recipes there! It will be open for links the entire 28 day challenge, until November 2, 2011. After that it will continue to serve as a resource.

    Thanks for hosting, Jill.  Today I posted part one of my series on preparing for cold and flu season, which focuses on probiotics: 
    Preparing for Cold and Flu Season – Step #1- Probioticshttp://commonsensehomesteading.blogspot.com/2011/10/preparing-for-cold-and-flu-season-step.html

    Unlike antibiotics, which work by killing bacteria, both friendly and
    unfriendly, probiotics work with your body.  By boosting populations of
    beneficial bacteria, you effectively crowd out the bad bacteria, at at
    the very least make it more difficult for them to thrive.

    Sorry for the typo in the linky – I couldn’t see what I was typing.

    Hello, everyone! Thanks for hosting, Jill. This week I linked to a quick tip on an alternative to the nasty and regretable green can of powdered cheese. I am also discussing the importance of getting rid of those commom convenience items like seasoning mixes and canned cream of barf soup. Hope you can stop by!

    The bad thing about coming here 1st thing in the morning is I know I’ll be stuck at the computer for hours reading all the other posts. :-)  

    We turned some sweet potatoes into creepy Halloween Hassleback Bugs that can be made ahead or you can let the kids assemble at the table for a fun holiday party activity!

    Hi!Last Saturday, a small group of friends and I headed up into the foothills of the coastal range in search of Chanterelles. I’ve enjoyed their earthy, nearly alium flavor in sautés, soups, and casseroles, and have been wanting to foraged for them. This was our groups’ first time mushrooming, and my brother Joe was along as the expert guide and  driver.http://nourishingfoodways.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/have-you-seen-mr-chanterelle/Thank you for hosting Jill!
