Fat Tuesday: December 6, 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!

    Thank you so much for hosting! I shared a Creamy Herb Chicken Salad w/ Pomegranate recipe. The combo of the herbs, sweet crunch of the pomegranate arils and the creaminess of the dressing (made from ground sprouted sunflower seeds) is so yummy. Thanks again.http://recipestonourish.blogspot.com/2011/12/creamy-herb-chicken-salad-w-pomegranate.html

    Thanks for hosting. My post this week is about one of the questions I get asked most “What is different about grassfed beef?” In this post I talk about some of the differences and Why Grassfed Meat Is Better.

    Thanks for hosting, Jill.  Today I linked up a poem that highlights many of the injustices that have been done to people who are working to provide real food.

    This post is dedicated to:

    Quail Hollow Farm,
    who had their Farm-to-table meal raided by a government goon who forced
    them to destroy the food by pouring bleach all over it, including the
    meat that wasn’t UDSA labeled.

    The Stower Family
    who had their food club raided (they spent six hours – with their
    children – held at gunpoint) and their private food stores confiscated -
    while the owner’s husband was serving active duty in Iraq.

    The folks at Rawsome (and other raw milk sellers), who have been repeatedly harassed (sometimes at gunpoint), for selling clean, safe food.
