    Breakfast ideas: Alternatives to extruded cereals

    I didn't read the middle two pages so someone may have already suggested it, but in Nourishing Traditions there is a recipe. I forget what it is called but it is bulgar wheat soaked in yogurt and then heated until dry. It tastes pretty close to grape nuts!

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    I'll be praying everything goes well for you. I have heard horror stories from some of my adopting friends about the ..... I don't even know the right term, but about the adoption people. One had a lady that was a dream for her, and then her friend got her and the lady has reported her to CPS...

    Morel Mushrooms Anyone??

    None for about two months for me. Still plenty of snow on the ground, but I'm itching for my next finds. They are SO good!

    oil pulling?

    It is, but you can either melt it before hand or melt it in your mouth. It takes hardly any heat to melt it.

    oil pulling?

    My theory is that it helps reduce the bacteria population in your mouth, which in turn helps your body have more "energy" to fight infections elsewhere. I do know that every time I start oil pulling, I start detoxing.

    Where do you get your kefir/kombucha starters?

    I've gotten all of mine from internet friends. I currently don't have any to share, but I think you'll find plenty who will. Most people just ask for you to cover shipping costs. Yes you can make your own Kombucha SCOBY from a bottle of commercial kombucha, but it must be raw kombucha, such as...

    West Coast Milk

    I make my own grape nuts and granola. The granola beats storebought sugary cereal any day, but it's not exactly slimming. :/

    Grain free cats, equals shed free!

    My brother gets salmon and moose that people throw out just because it's a year old, and saves it for his cats and the dog. Unless the source seems questionable he feeds it raw and they love it. :) They are all excellent mouse/vole/squirrel and bird catchers too.

    Cats and what they leave behind.

    Raw cows milk does still cause extra stinky poo, at least with ours. So glad they are all outdoor goers after about 2 months!

    West Coast Milk

    Not to mentioned powdered is just plain nasty tasting. So is pasteurized milk. I'd take some kelp or spirulina and drink your fresh milk. :)

    Grain free cats, equals shed free!

    On that note, has anyone else who feeds their chickens and other animals organic feed noticed that their poo smells WAY less then when fed nonorganic? When we used to buy already laying chickens from folks for the first week or two the poo would smell SO bad we had to clean out the coop twice...

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    Did you see my recent post in my journal about adrenals? I came up with a juice I thought you might be interested in for your adrenals. It seems to help tremendously!

    Sourdough Discussion Thread

    Update and two new questions: First of all it worked beautifully, and it tastes a million times better now too! It has a great aroma when I smell it, and the sourdough hotcakes I made from it were scrumptious! I have been using my sourdough enough to keep it out without putting in back in the...

    "My Wife is an Animal Lover"

    That is how it was with my young SIL, she was about 11 and had/has a really tender heart towards animals. My Dh shot a hare and I cooked it up for dinner. At first she wouldn't eat it, she couldn't imagine eating such a cute animals. But after seeing our enjoyment of it she tried it and enjoyed...

    Grain free cats, equals shed free!

    Some cats can get overweight on it still. The cat that has adopted my husband and I (they are all my families not ours) is a bit pudgy, but I think that will go away once he realizes it's warm outside and starts climbing trees and stuff again. The other cats are already spending hours outdoors...

    Grain free cats, equals shed free!

    We use taste of the wild for ours as well. They are shedding now that warmer weather has hit, but they had very little to no shedding during the winter. Until now I had thought it was just because our cats are part Bengal (hypoallergenic), but I guess it's also the food. :) I do know that ever...

    Moolie - Happy Thanksgiving :)

    Wow! Mine never get that big, but then it's probably because I usually end up putting them in the fridge for a while or killing them first before they get the change to get any bigger! I think the biggest I have ever had is about the diameter of a dime!
