Our Healthy Nourishing Traditions Thanksgiving Menu – The Results
So how did our healthy and nutritious menu turn out? As you know, I was trying a lot of new dishes that were from Nourishing Traditions. Here’s the complete run down on our meal. Turkey – Great! Onion Cranberry Compote – NT pg.392 (this was to replace the sugary cranberry relish I normally make and love!) This tasted very good by itself, but when I had it with my turkey, it just wasn’t the same as having the sweet/tart taste of cranberry relish. You could definitely taste the onions. Mashed Potatoes (was going to make NT recipe on pg.401 but couldn’t find celery root at the store) – Great! Sweet Potato Puree –…

Cranberries, Onions & My Thanksgiving Table Runner
That was really cruel of me… to write a post about how we are killing ourselves with our white flour and sugar right on the brink of one of the biggest holidays of the year. Really, I didn’t plan it that way, it just happened. Promise. I started the food for our Thanksgiving meal yesterday. I’m using mostly recipes from Nourishing Traditions and have never tried any of it before. My family will love it, I’m sure. probably ban me from making anything ever from NT. They’re good sports but I guess Thanksgiving’s like the sacred cow – you just don’t mess too much with tradition. I made the Onion…

A Simple Project and a Healthy Thanksgiving Menu
We’re celebrating Thanksgiving early. As in 2 days from now. It’s going to be a small affair, (just my little family) but we’re going to make some memories anyways! I’ve got plans to make this table runner that Frantically Simple made for her own family… And of course, I always get excited about the food. This year I’m going to do something different. I’m going to make the majority of the meal using recipes from the book Nourishing Traditions. Here’s the menu plan presently… (NT stands for Nourishing Traditions) Turkey Onion Cranberry Compote – NT pg.392 (this is to replace the sugary cranberry relish I normally make and love!) Mashed…

How We Are Killing Ourselves
Did you know that if you are like the rest of the American population that you are killing yourself, not to mention harming your children and future generations that aren’t born yet? Life, Health & Happiness – that’s what we all want for ourselves and our children but yet we really don’t seem serious about it when it comes to the food we give them. Please don’t click away from this article because you think you’re not interested. My faithful young commenters Anna & Zoe – this is for you, too. This topic effects everyone that eats anything at any time in any place. Would that refer to any of my readers? 🙂 It…

Hunting Big Game in Arizona – a Bull Elk
Hunting season is drawing to a close here at my house. One more elk hunt next week and then we’ll be finished. Hunting can really put some interruptions in your life so I’m kind of glad things are being wrapped up on that end. However, I have yet another hunting post (oh, yes and here is another and yet even another one if you just can’t get enough 🙂 ). Last week Seth had his bulk elk hunt. This hunt was for muzzleloader – you know – the old time rifle that the pioneers would use? You get one shot and then have to reload – first the powder, then the bullet, ram the bullet,…
