Yes, that is my training, received five years ago, and I've worked with many clients since then. One thing I know is that most diseases people face nowadays are firmly in the category of "lifestyle disease" and most of those lifestyle choices are around food. Not just processed food. I made a...

Well, I don't drink juice, make jelly, or need/want juice in general. However..... Once in a while I get a craving for soda and mix the juice of a lime with some stevia and a can of seltzer. I recently strained some canned autumnberry puree that was getting a bit old and used the juice in...

Stuff that can be made in advance. Need ideas. Not grains only.....meals, not muffins! Breakfast and lunch.....breakfast is tough to make ahead the night or weekend before.... I have some busy days coming up, back in school again (as a student as well as teaching.) I know there are others...

I have access to free field corn for a few weeks. As many of you know, the farmer next to me sells the stalks as fall decorations, and I get to strip the ears off and feed them to my pigs. They are in the milk stage now. I will be able to pick them until the people stop buying them for...

I have very hard water. I have a five gallon bucket of salt....it was among my free buckets of wheat and I opened it without reading the label first, thinking it was more wheat. I got to thinking...maybe I can use it in my washing machine and in my dishwasher to boost the washing power by...

Has anyone ever made grape pie? I saw a recipe in my WWII era cookbook but the thought of seeding wild Concord grapes.....well, it never happened. Since I came home with a bit more than a gallon of wild grapes tonight, before adding them to the bag of grapes in the freezer, I decided to look...

I cleaned and defrosted my folks' freezer (in my cellar) as it was really bad, the top shelf was completely iced in and sometimes the door wouldn't close and stuff would defrost....in a spotty way. So we had unplanned meals at times.....since I go into my two freezers often, we didn't lose...

Just took a raisin pie out of the oven. I wanted pie again, and the rain brought the temp down to the 70's so I scrounged around to see what I could make a pie with....raisins! I'll let ya know how it is. Anyone make raisin pie?
