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!

Thanks for hosting Jill! I’ve linked up my post about the Herbal Remedies notebook that I made to keep around for when we need it. :-) Because if you’re like me, when you’re sick sometimes your mind goes blank.

Thanks for hosting, Jill!

Today I linked up a post featuring some of my favorite natural techniques for pest control in the garden. I don’t want to put in time raising my own food only to spray it with pesticides. I hope others will find these options useful, too: http://www.commonsensehome.com/natural-pest-control-in-the-garden/

I have my latest REAL FOOD 101 post all about how to sprout whole grains for making into sprouted flour! This comes just in time as I transition back into grains after doing GAPS.

Also, I share my new(ish) family tradition of making Heart Tarts for Valentine’s Day. They are heart-shaped hand pies, so cute!
