I’ve been doing some more thinking about God’s plan for agriculture since the “Does Satan Hate Bread?” post and after writing about the seasonality of meat. I was pondering the verse in Genesis when God doles out the list of consequences for the first sin ever committed. Man’s sin damaged the threefold harmony of the [...]

Trying an elimination diet can be a very tricky and scary endeavor. You miss the foods you’re used to, and even worse, sometimes you don’t know how to make substitutes that don’t include your X food.

I was almost certain this recipe would be a bust. I’m glad my bad attitude didn’t taint the whole process, because I have to say I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by the end result. I’d often heard of people having bad experiences with the baking recipes in particular in Nourishing Traditions, and I always [...]
