Fight Back Friday February 25th
Welcome back yet again to another Fight Back Friday! Today we are bringing together another collection of recipes, tips, anecdotes, and testimonies from members of the Real Food Revolution.
Who are they? Why, they’re the Food Renegades. You know who you are — lovers of SOLE (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical) food, traditional food, primal food, REAL food, the list goes on. I believe that by joining together, our influence can grow, and we can change the way America (and the industrialized world) eats!
So, let’s have some fun.
Grain-Free Garlic Rosemary Crackers
Buttery, light, and paired with the wonderful aroma of garlic and rosemary, these grain-free crackers are the answer to one of my most typical conundrums: What do I do with this lovely paté? You know what I’m talking about, right? So many lovely, nutrient-rich dips and spreads require something equally healthy and nourishing to spread them on. Enter today’s hero: Grain-Free Garlic Rosemary Crackers.
Getting Cultured: Questions and Answers
Last week, I asked my FaceBook community to share their questions for Jenny about culturing foods and her newest e-course. These are Jenny’s answers!
Take Back Urban Homesteading
Urban Homesteading. It’s a beautiful collision of farm and urban life in urban and suburban areas. Feed yourself from your own garden? Try to squeeze a few chickens into your postage-stamp sized backyard? You’re an Urban Homesteader! That’s why I was shocked to read about how one family has trademarked the terms “Urban Homestead” and “Urban Homesteading” and has gone after blogs, libraries, and organizations in the Urban Homestead movement.

Coconut Flour Mini Pizzas
Served up on a grain-free, coconut-flour crust, these fun mini pizzas are a hit with my kids. Little hands just can’t stay away. (Even for pictures!) They’re also easy, thanks to the expert planning of Cara Faus — the creator of the Grain-Free Meal Plan I recently signed up for. Cara is the queen of kid-friendly, grain-free, EASY food. To make these pizzas, you basically just assemble a bunch of lovely leftovers. What could be faster?
Zapping Sugar Cravings With Fermented Food
My eldest child LOVES sugar. He has literally said to me: “I love sugar so much I wish I could eat it all day long every day.”
I can lead by example. I can say that sugar makes your teeth grow in crooked or rot and fall out. I can say that sugar makes you sick, irritable, and angry. This kid isn’t fazed. That’s why I was jazzed when I saw one of the articles in the most recent Wise Traditions journal was called “Growing Wise Kids: Zapping Sugar Cravings” by Jen Allbritton.
I was also very impressed by the second step she suggests we take to help our kids nix the sugar habit: eating more fermented foods!

Remaking Recipes: Create Healthier Versions of Old Favorites
You know the recipes. You love to eat them, but you can hardly bring yourself to make them anymore. Why? Maybe they’re heavy on the sugar, or use refined vegetable oils or grains. Want to know how to remake those old recipes into something nutrient-dense and actually healthy?
