Announcing My New Ebook: Broth: Elixir of Life

Posted by PattyLA on Apr 26, 2013 in Blog, GAPS, Kids, Nutrition, photo, Sale, Traditional Foods | 4 comments

Well it has finally happened! Today is the day! After months of writing and setting up a business I am now ready to share with you my very first book. Broth: Elixir of Life. Some of you, of course, already have it. This book was included in a bundle of books that sold back in Late February and many of you took advantage of that opportunity. I have no plans to include it in another bundle any time soon so if you want it now, you need to buy it here. If you are familiar with my blog or with the GAPS diet you know that broth is an important part of both. It turns out that broth is actually an important part of pretty much every traditional world cuisine. There are good reasons for this. Bone broth is...

Hello friends. I am humbled by how many are out there reading this blog. Many of you I do not know and will never know. Yet, since I feel like you are along with us for this journey, I call you friends. As many of you know I took a break from blogging a few weeks ago because of a health crisis in my family. I am still not at liberty to share about that, but I will thank you for your prayers and ask you to keep them coming. It is not over, I’m just coming to a place of acceptance and am ready to get back to work. My family has been on a healing journey since before my first child was born. I spent much of 2002 using a wheelchair because of the pain I was...

Home Made Corned Beef

Posted by PattyLA on Mar 13, 2013 in Blog, GAPS, Lacto-Fermentation, Low Oxalate, photo, Recipe, Traditional Foods | 9 comments

I grew up in New England. My family is from New Hampshire and I grew up in Connecticut. Once a year we had New England Boiled Dinner. This is also called Corned Beef and Cabbage by the rest of you. I don’t remember having it any day other than St. Patrick’s day but perhaps we did. Corned beef is a good, old fashioned, wholesome food. Yet today, it has been infiltrated with not so traditional additives. The last time I checked most corned beef available at the grocery store contained corn syrup and preservatives. Not what I want to be serving my family. It turns out corned beef is easy to make at home if you have an anaerobic fermenting jar and a week to wait. I do not know about the oxalate content of this food. Many of these spices are high...
