Fat Tuesday: November 22, 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!

    Hey Jill! This week I’m sharing my thoughts about the hit show, The Biggest Loser. A friend of mine is a contestant this season, and it sure has been hard to watch him suffer on a low-fat, non-nourishing diet!

    Jill…Thanks for hosting.  I shared my thoughts on Gaps/Autism and how much of what Dr. Natasha states holds true in my home.

    Hi Jill,
    Thanks for hosting!
    My daughter helps me a lot in the kitchen and this time she made the cranberry sauce.

    Jill, I posted 4 this week: an interview that I did with an owner of a food based skin care company, pt 3 in our big FAT Lies series (conspiracy theories about conflicts of interest), giveaway for a grass-fed hotdog package, and a GF carrot cake recipe.  Enjoy. :)

    Thanks for hosting, Jill.  Today I linked up the final post in my series about fighting colds and flus, which covers herbs, spices and the kitchen sink.  Copper fixtures have been found to significantly reduce the transmission of bacteria, including MRSA.:  http://commonsensehomesteading.blogspot.com/2011/11/preparing-for-cold-and-flu-season-herbs.html

    I’m sharing an all-natural recipe for herbal udder balm today. Commercial balms are petroleum based, ick! And if you don’t have animals, you’ll still want to make this for your hands. I’m finding myself dipping in it constantly for my dry, winter-time skin, even when I’m not milking. ;)

    Thanks for hosting!

    I’ve gathered up several favorite grain-free and GAPS-friendly recipes that I will be making this Thursday. Just because recipes are grain-free doesn’t mean they aren’t absolutely delicious. I have my recipes as well as several other tried and true recipes from fellow real food bloggers that I will use. Come over and see!http://www.ournourishingroots.com/thanksgiving-recipe-collection/

  • http://alifeinbalance.net Barb @ A Life in Balance

    Thanks for hosting! Inspirational as always, and I’m going to have to check out that Almond Joy post. I am addicted to those! However, I only eat them at Halloween when they show up in my kids’ candy.

    This week I shared my one of my tips for making weekly food prep easier.

    Thanks so much for hosting this! I have linked my recipe for Flatbread with Roasted Squash, Carmelized Onions, Garlic, and Ginger. This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving and even suitable for leftover squash. My recipes avoid latex foods and all top allergens. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Okay, I have yet another post this week, heehee!  I got inspired this morning to make a candied yams/sweet potato casserole recipe with butternut squash and GAPS-legal topping.  It turned out so well!
