Organization in the Real Food Kitchen: Knowing and Using What’s in Your Freezer

February 25, 2010     Keeper of the Home

Today’s post is written by my friend Nola, who happens to currently have a more organized freezer than I do! I asked for tips for freezer organization a while back and Nola had sent me enough good stuff to make an entire post of it. I’ve added a few little notes of my own as …

Organization in the Real Food Kitchen: Ferments Everywhere

February 16, 2010     Keeper of the Home

“Hi, my name is Stephanie and I have a problem. I’m addicted to fermenting, culturing and soaking foods and they’re taking over my kitchen! Help!” Having a lot of cultured, soaked, sprouted and lacto-fermented foods around is a wonderful problem to have since these are incredibly nutritious and beneficial to consume. Sometimes, though, it can …

Taking the Mystery Out of Creme Fraiche (What It Is and How to Make It)

Taking the Mystery Out of Creme Fraiche (What It Is and How to Make It)

February 15, 2010     Keeper of the Home

I love to say it. Creme Fraiche (pronounced “crem fresh”). There’s something so gourmet and cultured sounding about it (no pun intended!), and yet it is one of the simplest types of cultured dairy that you can make. Basically, creme fraiche is cultured cream. It’s that simple. For some reason I held off trying it …

February 12, 2010     Keeper of the Home

I went into my time at Blissdom ’10 not knowing quite what to expect and more than a little nervous. I was one of the only bloggers going from my niche and I wasn’t sure who I would connect with, what I would learn and whether the whole thing would be worth it or not. …

Learning the Gentle Art of Infant Toilet Training

February 8, 2010     Keeper of the Home

Image Credit Guest Post by Louisa I toilet-trained my first child when she was four-months-old. I thought I would start this guest post with a statement that knocks most people’s socks off when they hear it. “Four months old, you are kidding, aren’t you?” No, I kid you not.

A Tale of Rhubarb

February 4, 2010     Keeper of the Home

Facial expression: puzzlement and slight trepidation Accompanying answer “I’ve heard of it but never tried it” 2. Facial expression: I just sucked on the most vile thing ever Accompanying answer (emphatically) “NO” …

February 1, 2010     Keeper of the Home

Image by vieuxbandit As I went to write this next post for my Year of Herbs series, I had been thinking of doing comfrey or yarrow.
