Fat Tuesday: April 16, 2013

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

Share your special holiday meal! 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!

If you are featured on Sunday Snippets (you must have a link back to be featured) I will also add your post to my facebook page. By posting your article and photo on Fat Tuesday you are allowing me to publish the same on Sunday Snippets and Facebook and other social media.

Thanks for hosting, Jill.

Today I’ve linked up a post about the common nettle, an under-appreciated wild plant that is a natural hair and skin tonic, adrenal booster, bone builder, gout healer and more. It’s very high in many vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, and also contains natural antihistamines. They can also be used as a rennet substitute for cheese making.

Hi Jill,
Thanks for hosting!
I’m linking up another emergency preparedness posts and this time I cover natural alternatives to heartburn medications. The other post is about decadent body butter, my 13 year old daughter made some awesome decadent body butter to raise money for her camp. It went fast at the Saturday night fundraiser. It is really easy to make..
