Post image for Fat Tuesday: June 5, 2012

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! 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! My post this week is about how traditional cooking methods are the best for grass fed meat. Microwaves and slow cookers are not the best for cooking traditional meat, for a variety of reasons. Besides, cast iron cookware can be so easy to use, when you know how to use it.

Traditional Heat Is Best for Cooking Grassfed Meat

Okay, obviously this is my first time doing this because I thought it was asking for MY name, not the recipe name! D’oy! I feel a little silly now, but I promise I’ll get it right from now on :) My recipe is actually called Guilt-Free BBQ Chicken Sandwiches ;)

Thanks for doing this!

Hey Jill! thanks for hosting!

I’ve been busy out in the garden. (Still planting!) I put together this post last weekend and I think you’ll really enjoy this one. It’s all about the health benefits of gardening, including several that I haven’t seen mentioned very frequently.

I am new to posting and sharing but love this sense of community that I am finding amongst the Real Food bloggers. I shared my simple strawberries and cream post and would love to add a trackback but don’t know how to do that. Can someone guide me in the right direction? Warmest Regards to you all.
