Post image for Fat Tuesday: January 3, 2012

 

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 the blog hop! I added creamed collards, which are great for dinner and double as a good base for the next day’s breakfast.

Thanks for hosting! This week I posted about how to stay safe when traveling gluten-free. We’ve learned the hard way that whenever we travel we need to be prepared to cook real food ourselves, and keep it safe from cross-contamination.

Our son recently explained how serious cross-contamination is on the radio. You can hear him explain why here:

Jill, I hope you have a Happy New Year! My post this week is about the traditional goose we had for Christmas dinner. The goose was rich and satisfying, with crisp skin, and nutrient-dense innards enriching the stuffing. Then we used the rest of the goose. This included saving the glorious goose fat.

Happy New Year, Everyone! If you’re looking to get your health off to a good start in 2012 – start with the fundamentals – know what’s wrong with your body. Don’t guess – get a physical and some other “must have” tests to determine how to regain your health. We list them here in our blog. Here’s to a new you! Thanks, Jill!

I have two links today! The first is a pictorial tutorial for making one gallon of homemade yogurt without a maker in five easy steps. The second is a link to a coupon code to get my new book for just 99 cents and I am announcing a giveaway for two free copies of my book for those who have left reviews at any of three outlets selling it. Even if you didn’t love it, I’ll give you a copy for free just for giving me a review but only for two lucky readers. Thanks for hosting!
