Kitchen Staples & Recipes

Now you're ready to begin learning how to make things yourself, rather than purchase the less-than-healthy varieties available at your local supermarket.  This is fun!

I need to work on this page!  Here's the plan.  I'd like to have links in the "Try this" column that you could click on for fabulous recipes.  But this website is a work-in-progress.  In the meantime, ALL these recipes are available in Nourishing Traditions and other cookbooks mentioned on this site.

 
Instead of... Try this...
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats Butter, coconut oil, or lard
Rancid vegetable oils Extra virgin olive oil, best quality (never heat vegetable oils)
Refined sweeteners (sugar, corn syrup, fructose, etc.) Honey, Maple Syrup, Sucanat, or Rapadura
Pasteurized, homogenized milk products Raw milk and cream (NOT pasteurized or homogenized), available fresh from a local farm if possible
White flour, white rice, Improperly prepared seeds and grains Whole grains and seeds, properly prepared by sprouting, soaking, or fermenting (such as sourdough)
Factory-produced meat and eggs Old-fashioned, free-roaming, pasture-fed animals that provide us with meat, eggs, and milk (purchased locally if possible)
Non-organic fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables grown in your own garden (top choice) or by your friends and neighbors, using organic methods and traditional methods
Commercially processed foods Homemade dishes, prepared with nutrient-dense foods and loads of love
