I’m just tickled to share today’s contenders with you, since both of them were early readers and commenters at Kitchen Stewardship almost a year ago. I love that they’re so different, yet both promote real food. One is afraid of fermenting; the other has jars of ferments cluttering the lid of her freezer in the [...]

Exploring Soaking Grains: What are Phytates and Phytic Acid?
February 18th, 2010 · 27 Comments · Science of Nutrition
I feel a little like Jeff Probst sometimes: “Next time on..Kitchen Stewardship!” I hope no one feels like I’m stringing you along with all these promises of soaking grain research and then more posts telling you other things with “research coming later”.

When my almost-five-year-old son heard that Lent was coming, he exclaimed, “I remember Lent! I hate Lent!” Surprised at his fervor, I fought to remain calm and detached myself and asked, “Oh? What do you remember about Lent that was so bad?” “I don’t get desserts in Lent!” he fired back with an earthy groan. [...]
Food for Thought: Is Soaking Grains “Traditional”

Faith brings another pair of real food bloggers to the Face-Off floor, where they’ll compare notes on following the same God from very different life perspectives. Both these gals are fairly new to me: Hallee the Homemaker was referred by Kelly the Kitchen Kop and Mare at Just Making Noise squeaked into the Face-Off just [...]

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to try soaking grains in one recipe this week. You’re right: it’s controversial. But it can’t hurt. Impact Ratings: Level of Commitment: Making Strides First, if you have no idea what I mean when I say “soaking grains”, you’ll want to read this post on Why Soak [...]
Recipe Connection: St. Peter’s Spicy Fish
February 12th, 2010 · 43 Comments · Recipes
It’s been tough on me to eat fewer grains this week. Turns out my own consciousness needs raising! I eat starches often. I figure posting a recipe that is grain-free as well as meatless is a good fit for this, the week before Lent begins. See a Meatless Meals Carnival for Lent at Mama Says. [...]
