Fat Tuesday: January 17, 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.

Hey Jill,

Despite the cost of everything going up, there is no reason to pay retail for organic and natural products ever again. My post this week is on how to start a natural food buying club in your community!

I just posted my recipe for Beef and Carrot Stew with Parsnip and Potato Mash. It’s great for using all those root veggies and slow cooking grass-fed beef.

Thanks for hosting!

Thanks for hosting Fat Tuesday! My post this week is once again about the benefits of grassfed fat. The simple alternative to weight loss surgery (this alternative used to be common before World War II) — is a low-carb, high-fat diet for weight loss. This diet would have been full of nutrients from the fat of grassfed animals.

We’ve started a new blog series about empowering kids on special diets. A big change in diet can be hard on kids, even when they know it’s for their own good. This first post outlines *why* you might need to go on a traditional foods diet.

Thanks for hosting!

Thanks for hosting this every week!

I have included my Pork Roast Croquettes. These are a good way to fix up meat that has a dry texture (like all the boiled chicken from making broth!). 🙂 Thanks for hosting!

Thank you so much for hosting! I shared a Chai Tea recipe. My version does not have black tea and has a few uncommon herbs in it (for extra nourishment). It’s absolutely delicious. Thanks again.

Hi Jill,

I’m back again, and this time with some gluten free cake recipes for your sweet tooth. Gluten-Free Applesauce Almond Cake and Gluten-Free Chocolate Zucchini Buckwheat Cake are two of our favorites.

Balancing that out however, is a how-to on Treat Candida With Diet – so be careful in how much you indulge!

Thanks for hosting!

Hi Jill – Thanks for hosting! I am sharing my post: Earthing – Are You Connected? I’m fascinated by this simple yet powerful concept that our planet’s energy is essential to our health and vitality, yet we humans have manage to become completely disconnected. When was the last time your bare feet touched the Earth?
Happy Fat Tuesday!

Thanks for hosting, Jill. Today I linked up a post on Natural Back Pain Relief, which includes a discount code for a back support belt that I have used and recommend (it prevents you from using bad form while lifting) that is manufactured by a company here in Wisconsin. There are also recommendations for foods that may help alleviate pain, and a video demonstrating proper form for sitting and bending.

Morning everybody!

This week I shared a bit of my real food journey. I started getting into the whole real food thing more seriously after getting pregnant. (I had long been into healthy eating and whole foods, but hadn’t discovered the whole “real food” movement and learning more about traditional diets). So this is a wrap up about a real food day in my life during pregnancy (second trimester). Anyone who has any tips or stories of their own, I would absolutely LOVE it if you stopped by and shared. We need to band together! Cheers.

Thanks for hosting, Jill. I linked up my three bean chili and chips. It’s hearty and warming, and thick, and my favorite chili to date!!! Fresh, hot crispy fried tortilla chips pair up quite well with it!!
