This week I wrote on the exceptionally high costs of importing specialty foods and “superfoods” from developing countries, and how “fair trade” just isn’t enough to stop the total displacement of traditional food systems and their ecosystems. I also included an updated post on my ten favorite DOMESTIC superfoods from the archives.
Thanks for hosting, Jill. Today I linked up a post on Getting Started with Herb Gardening, where I cover some basics and recommend some of my favorite herb guides. I hope others will be inspired to add herbs to their gardens, too.

Good morning,
Today I’m sharing a recipe for Gluten-Free Third Bread – a 100% whole grain bread made from brown rice flour, millet flour, and sorghum flour. It’s free from all gums and calls for soaking the flours – I think you’re going to love it!
Thanks For Hosting Us Jill!

This week I’m sharing my favorite soup of all time, for real. It’s a Cheese & Vegetable Chowder with Fresh Herbs. So good with sourdough toast, I’m telling you.

And then I’m also sharing my Irish Apple and Potato Cake, which is so amazingly good, and timely for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday!
Hi Jill.
Thanks for hosting!
It’s my husband’s birthday again so I’m making his favorite cake, Torta Caprese as usual. It is a gluten free chocolate almond cake.

Hello and thanks for hosting – I do believe this is my first time entering your carnival/link up! I am posting a challenge I am hosting this month to get in the habit of dry skin brushing! My skin is thanking me for it – I hope folks will come over and join up!
Happy Fat Tuesday! Today I’m sharing my post about prioritizing healthy fats first in your families food budget.
Hi Jill! This week I included a “recipe” for homemade mouthwash. If that’s not acceptable, you can delete it. I wasn’t sure, so I went ahead and did it.
Thanks!
I am disappointed to see the link to the posting blasting the character of Dr. Mercola. Character assassination of other bloggers and people promoting the real and traditional food lifestyle is absolutely mean-spirited and beyond the pale. I don’t agree with everything Dr. Mercola writes, but I don’t agree with anyone 100% of the time. We, who truly support the real and traditional food movement, have enough battles to fight without tearing each other apart. For example, I firmly believe that eating any grain is bad for your health and have posted my opinion on many real food blogs comments. Many real food bloggers don’t agree with me. That doesn’t make me think they are bad people and question their character. Dr. Mercola donates time to the advisory board of WAPF, among other things.
To say someone is not trustworthy is the same as saying they totally lack any morals and character. It is quite a very serious charge. By allowing this link on other real food blogs, you are passively and silently allowing character assassination of a fellow blogger to occur.
If you disagree with Dr. Mercola on various issues and you feel it is important enough, write a blog post on the issue. There is absolutely no need to slander and in an emotionally immature way tear down the reputation of another.
Yes, he hawks his products. Tell me, how is that different than the group of real food blogger promoting each other’s classes and services offered for profit. Even some of the “non-grain” bloggers promoted the recent grains class offered for a fee by one of the real food bloggers. How is that different than the profits you get from your links to Amazon, Radiant Life, etc.? Because he operates on a larger scale does that give you the right to judge him and decide he is not “trustworthy”.
Dr. Mercola, with all his faults, likely reaches more people and guides them to a healthier, real and traditional food lifestyle than all the real food blogger put together. I am not saying this out of irritation over the post, I am stating fact.
This whole situation leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Makes one reevaluate who they will read and subscribe to. Of course people post comments in agreement. That’s the type of people that respond to that mean-spirited type of post. What is even more dangerous to all your reputations are the people that are so disgusted, they don’t post comments and they turn away from you and your blog.
I am hoping that one of you bloggers has the backbone, character, and God-given morals to stand up and not allow this link on your blogs.
The fact is, Tina, that Jen has every right to write what she feels about Dr. Mercola. Whether one agrees with her post or not—I think both you and Jen make valid points—it is totally irrelevant to rant about how the link to her post appears on this blog.
Jill is under absolutely no obligation to censor what others post here, and just because the post *is* linked in this carnival does not mean Jill agrees with it. Jen’s post is not in violation of the rules set up by Jill (it is certainly a “real food issue”), and so is not in need of removal.
I value what Jill has to say on her blog, and I know that I won’t stop subscribing even though this link was posted to her blog carnival.
Hi Jill,
Happy Fat Tuesday! I’m sharing some yummy Honey Banana Spelt Pancakes, a video on How To Get Your Family To Eat Real Food, and a Tunisian Tomato Lentil Stew.
Have a great day!
Hi Jill – I’m sharing my grain-free waffle sandwiches!

Hi and thanks so much for hosting and a great collection of inspirational ideas…
This week I posted a feature on LIVING INTENTIONALLY and a post on METABOLIC SYNDROME, 5 NATURAL HAIR RECIPES and a WONDERFULLY EASY SOAP RECIPE! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!
Some of you may know I also host a linky,-although still in its early days- and am seeking even more wonderful creative women to come and share their beautiful posts there too! It’s called SEASONAL CELEBRATION and can be found at Natural Mothers Network http://naturalmothersnetwork.com

PS: Regarding Mr Mercola and Tina’s comment: I believe that the minute you decide to write a public blog quoting your opinions and facts, you invite people to make judgements based on what you have written. I think Jen @ Real Food Freaks was right to question what she believed to be a rather one-sided view on his part, in order to generate page-views with the use of a shocking headline that didn’t match his evidence. I would hope that people had the courage to pull me up if I ever did that, intentionally or otherwise. If you write for an audience, it comes with the territory I’m afraid.
Good morning! Thank you for hosting this link-up! Today I shared an kitchen experiment that worked! My nearly-two-year-old calls them Monkey Bars. They are gluten-free, vegan, banana brownies sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. They are best served warm, and “iced” with unsweetened peanut butter.
Hi all! Thought I would share this blog post video on Processed vs. whole foods!

This week I’m continuing my series on organ meats by showing easy ways to sneak in ground liver and heart into your ground meat dishes. Your family will never know it’s there! I also had a little fun coming up with 7 signs that you’re on the GAPS Diet. If you’re a fellow GAPSter, I hope you’ll take a look and add any others you think of!
Thank you for hosting! I’ve linked up my home cured corned beef.
