Cabbage & White Bean Soup

I make variations of this soup all winter since cabbage and potatoes are some of the only vegetables we can get locally. This last batch was especially good and I think it has to do with the technique of layering flavors throughout the cooking process. This is an extremely economical and easy meal.

Simplest Sauerkraut

This really is the simplest sauerkraut recipe I have ever seen. I adapted it from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook and all you need are two ingredients. Once you try it and see how easy it is, the process of fermentation seems much less intimidating. You can make this in about 15 minutes and it is ready to eat in as little as three days (though the longer it ages the better). All you need is cabbage, sea salt, a mixing bowl and a mason jar and you can create and witness the process of fermentation.

It's Butter. Believe It.

For starters, the more butter you use, the less vegetable oils you'll use. In addition, butter and animal fats have been used by humans for millennia and have helped us thrive and be healthy. Processed vegetable oils, on the other hand, are a relatively new addition to our diet.
