Saturday Sources: Brick City Farm
It has been a while since my last installment of Saturday Sources but I have several local farms lined up for interviews over the upcoming weeks and months. Here is one that you can help get off the ground right now by contributing to their Kickstarter! ~PattyLA Brick City Farm is a new urban farm coming to the South City area of St. Louis. I had a chance to chat with Joanna Landis about this new venture and I’m excited to share these details with you here today! Below is an artists rendering of what it will look like once it is up and running. As I said above Brick City Farm is currently doing a Kickstarter to get the funding that they need to get started! I love kickstarter because it makes it possible to easily gather small...
Read MoreTropical Traditions Gold Coconut Oil Give Away!
I have always loved coconut flavored foods. So I was thrilled when I was introduced to traditional foods and discovered that this flavor I love is also really good for me! All that healthy short chain saturated fat! The other thing that I have come to appreciate since I began to focus on traditional foods is the traditional methods of making those foods. I loved watching the video below and seeing the traditional way that coconut oil was made how it is still done for this coconut oil. I’m also glad that I can purchase this oil that has been processed within 24 hours of the coconut being harvested instead of having to wait for the coconuts to get over here and then having to process them myself. Coconut oil is a GAPS legal oil for cooking with too...
Read MoreGAPS Friendly Books in the $39 Primal Bundle
I’m sure that many of you are wondering about the books in this bundle. None of them say GAPS in the title so you may be thinking that they are not for you. I’m going to let you in on a secret. Many of them are completely GAPS compatible Others have some material that is helpful for GAPS even if the whole thing is not appropriate. I’m going to go through the list of books and give a quick review on the ones that I have already read or skimmed and give you some more information about them. I’ll start with the GAPS recipe books. These may not say GAPS on the title but every recipe in them is GAPS legal. Starlene from GAPS Diet Journey just released a cookbook last month that is included in this bundle. It is called Beyond...
Read MoreToadally Primal Wellness Bundle Deal!
I am so excited to offer you this great bundle of E-Books! Included in it is the new Beyond Grain and Dairy Cook Book by my friend Starlene of GAPSDietJourney. Also included is another new cookbook, Cooking with Coconut Oil that another blogger friend, Jennifer of HybridRastaMama wrote. Just those two books will add up to $37. For two more dollars than that you can get all of these books! What a steal! (I’m especially excited about the Paleo Crock Pot cook book. I need to use mine more and so many Paleo Recipes work for GAPS.) So go take advantage of this deal that won’t come again! Happy Shopping! In the past 2 months, Todd Dosenberry (also known as Primal Toad) emailed more than a few dozen well-known bloggers to see if they wanted to be part of...

Read MoreLast Minute GAPS Gifts!!!
It is crunch time! Christmas is almost here! Do you have a GAPS person in your life that you simply don’t know how to shop for? Or perhaps you are a GAPS person and someone in your life just let you know that they are still stumped. I’ve got some ideas for you here.

Next up is a great knife. The better the knife the easier all of your prep...
Read MoreWinter Cranberry Roast
Turkey Day is over and you may be finding yourself longing for some different flavors. You may also find that you still have some cranberries in your fridge or at least they are still plentiful in the store. This roast is very popular with my children and it gives a new twist of flavor to a plain old roast. Best of all it doesn’t take very long to get ready and then sits in the oven for hours breaking up the chores of making dinner. Serve this with some sauteed kale and winter squash and you have a perfect hearty winter meal. I hope you enjoy it! Winter Cranberry Roast 3-4 lb chuck roast or other similar roast. I get mine from Missouri Grassfed Beef 3 tablespoons lard or other healthy fat 1 teaspoon salt pepper to taste (use...
Read MoreSaturday Sources: Missouri Grassfed Beef
This is my second edition of Saturday Sources and I am pleased to have an interview with Jeremy Parker of Missouri Grassfed Beef. I have been getting my beef from Jeremy of Missouri Grassfed Beef for several years. I love the good relationship I have with him and so many of the farmers that I purchase from regularly. I know he is passionate about what he does so I wanted to ask him some questions to share with all of you. Even if you aren’t local to us here in St. Louis hopefully these questions and answers will help you to find a good source of grassfed beef near you. Every farmer is going to do things a little bit different but this should give you some ideas about the kinds of questions you should be asking. Oh and...
