I think everyone should eat and drink what they want, and call it what they want. It's perfectly acceptable to examine ones diet and make changes. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is follow parameters laid out by others. It is also perfectly acceptable to follow no parameters or define...

I have been full paleo and also primal (includes dairy). Right now I'm staying away from pasta, but am eating bread. More of a whole foods/homemade approach. Paleo staples: safflower oil, coconut oil, spinach, sweet potatoes, hamburger, eggs. Safflower oil has a higher cook temp and is better...

Full fat plain yogurt with shredded farmers cheese (or other mild white cheese) mixed in. Mix to taste with maybe a little salt. You could maybe use low fat yogurt, I am not sure fat free yogurt would work with the water separation. Looks wonderful! Eat anything you want, but make it...

Please share! A place to post your leftover-use-it-before-it-goes-bad creations. I admit I bought the bok choy today, but that always needs rescuing eventually because they are so big. And of course the herbs are to help. :ahem: Mushrooms Sweet potato Fennel Onion Bok choy Celery Micro...

Sorry to hear that K--! From everything I've read, not all the bacteria picked up by komboucha is good. Which makes sense. When I broke out, it was a fresh batch. It didn't seem different than any other - which is one reason I quit making it. I prefer to be able to tell when food/drink has...

Just be careful, I hear komboucha is also hunted by vegans. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

It almost negates needing a slow cooker. I do need one for stock though. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

I made it for a few months. I didn't see any health benefits and taking care of it is the same as having a sourdough starter. We cook sourdough and I think that's a big differentiator from komboucha. I did quit making it because I had a skin breakout that couldn't be attributed to anything...

Thanks - I have been considering a pressure cooker. Can you do stock in them? Can you set them for an all-day slow and low dish? I've had a dumb slow cooker for about 20 years but it died yesterday. I mostly used it for stock. But sometimes other things. I thought I'd upgrade. I do not have...

I'm looking at buying a smart slow cooker - does anyone have one? Pros and cons? When I am at work, I am typically gone 10-12 hours. My hope is to start something on low for 4 hours, set it to warm for a few hours and then back to low to finish cooking for when I get home. I don't *think*...

I love sweet potatoes - wonder if steaming would produce the same/similar effect as boiling? Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.
