10. Tools and essential for a from scratch kitchen

To cook real food daily, you're going to need a few key items. In this episode I talk about my top ten kitchen essentials for a traditional foods kitchen. Y'all know I am a lover of real food. Give me all the fresh herbs, grass-fed beef, fermented veggies and raw dairy. The quartz countertops in this old farmhouse kitchen never look complete without a bubbly bowl of sourdough, a day old mason jar of milk with the whey separating, and veggies fermenting in the corner. Some of the tasks of a tradi...

8. How I meal plan- from scratch food the easy way!

Learn my 5 tips for having healthy meals every night without meal planning. Making 3 meals a day does not have to be complicated. In fact, it is super simple! I've noticed that when people want to start cooking from scratch, they think they need elaborate meal plans with dry erase boards neatly filled in with three meals a day. Baked blueberry pecan oatmeal for breakfast, Asian pesto curry for lunch and almond crusted parmesan tilapia for dinner... (I just made those titles up, by the way, but t...

6. Chatting the gut healing GAPS diet with my sister Laura

The GAPS diet played an instrumental role in reversing Laura's son Sam's dairy intolerance and gut related symptoms associated with it. Listen in as she shares her story with the GAPS diet, and I share our experience as well. It truly is amazing what our bodies can do when given the right foods to heal. This is the GAPS book we referenced: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Syndrome-D-D-D-H-D-Schizophrenia/dp/0954852028/ref=sr_1_2?crid=10NWM7KWIW3RA&keywords=gaps+diet+natasha+campbellmcbride&qid=...

5. Cast iron in the kitchen- I could never live without it!

Cast iron has been my skillet of choice for many years now. There are only two things that get better with age in the kitchen. One is cast iron and the other is homemade sourdough starter! WHY CAST IRON IS BETTER THAN NONSTICK Reason #1, of course, is it doesn’t have all the bad stuff. Nonstick pans are coated with a carcinogenic chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid. Not only does it leech into the food when cooked at high temperatures, but also produces toxic fumes in the air. Not to be overl...

2. Ten years in the making- the renovation story of our last farmhouse

Sometimes in this world of Instagram, Youtube and HGTV it might seem like everyone else is pulling off massive renovation projects in just a few months' time. Endless budgets (or unrealistic more likely) and several contractors make it all happen. The renovation story of our last farmhouse might be a little more relatable. We bought it for a super cheap price, lived with the ugly (other than a little paint) for several years until we paid it off. After that we used a modest budget to slowly fini...
