Grilled Cheese and Broccoli Sandwich

Kids and grilled cheese sandwiches? Why, they go together like peas and carrots. Milk and chocolate. Apples and pies. My kids love them. We don’t make your average grilled cheese sandwiches. I’m talking grilled cheese sandwiches that will knock your socks off.

WINNER and COUPON for Kvass

Parked under the shade of trees, on just about every major street, you’ll see these. They’re kvass vendors, selling the ancient, healing drink by the cupful to eager passersby.

Now, thanks to the ingenuity of guys like Scott Grzybek of Zukay Live Foods who are bringing these living, fermented drinks to the U.S., you can now enjoy a proper kvass in your home. For the next two weeks, they’re even offering a 15% off coupon for those of you adventurous enough to try it!

Do You Sneak Vegetables?

My kids are just about the least picky eaters I know. Sometimes they declare flat out that they don’t like a food, but they’ll still try it when I encourage them to. Just the other night we went to a friend’s house for dinner. She’s Taiwanese. My kids ate intestine, oysters, Peking Duck, and even piled their plates high with vegetables.

I don’t sneak vegetables into their foods. Instead, I try to make them taste good. There’s nothing like green beans pan-seared in bacon grease, sweet potatoes fried in tallow, or a squash casserole cooked up with melted cheese and diced green chiles.

But what do you do when you do have a picky eater? A child who will only eat hot dogs, pizza, and dessert?

Pumpkin Custard Recipe

Imagine a pumpkin pie without the crust. That’s pumpkin custard. Now, imagine it full of nutrient-dense egg yolks from pastured hens, cream from grass-fed cows, and the tiniest hint of a naturally-evaporated sugar. Suddenly that pumpkin custard is rich in the essential vitamins & fats your body needs to stay healthy while being just sweet enough to pass as a dessert.

GIVEAWAY: Kvass Sampler Pack

A refreshing thirst-quencher, a tonic for digestion, a probiotic, and a powerful detoxifier, kvass has deserved its prominent place in Slavic cultures. Because I believe so firmly in the power of living, fermented foods to help heal the gut and transform health, I’m pleased to be giving away 6 bottles of kvass this week (in varieties of your choosing)!

Real Food Nutrition Book Sale

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I wanted to find a way to express my gratitude to all of you. So, I decided to offer a 20% discount on my Real Food Nutrition & Health E-Book. The discount may not be all that original idea, but I’m sure it will make quite a few of you happy!

Save A Family Farm In Just 10 Minutes

Imagine this. You’re a farmer. You home school your many children and keep to a peaceful country life. You specialize in making the highest quality raw milk cheese from grass-fed cows. Every morning you walk out into a gray morning and watch the sunrise over the swaying fields of lush, green grasses while you go about your daily farm chores. You don’t own a gun. You’ve never even fired one. You are a law-abiding person, and you’ve never so much as gotten a parking ticket.

Fight Back Friday November 19th

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.
