Workshops!

Today was a fun day in my kitchen for the Dips, Dressings and Snacks Workshop. We covered a lot of ground in just two hours. Plus everyone had great ideas, resources and recipes to share with the group.

We made Avocado Cilantro Kefir, Cocoa Cherry Larabars, Creamy Tomato Soup, Mixed Greens with a delicious Miso Dressing and Crustless Mini Greens Quiches. 

Next up is the Kombucha, Beet Kvass and Ginger Beer workshop on Tuesday, December 7 from 10am to noonish. I would love to get a few more people to sign up. There are three spots left. It would make a wonderful gift for a friend, family member or coworker too.

The Seafood Workshop also has space - I think the December 17th, Friday class will be a go - I haven't had anyone sign up for the Saturday class yet - so that may be cancelled.

I will be adding dates for the new year - I have had a few more requests for the Organ Meat Made Easy for a Monday slot. Let me know if you would like to see a weekend date too.

Now's a great time to let me know what dates/times you prefer for the new year!

Adopt an Ewe - My Home is a Drop Point!

I'm so excited to announce another great local offering that you can get a great deal and support an amazing local farm at the same time.

It's called Adopt An Ewe and there are two options - both are great choices. I have had all of their sheep milk cheeses and they are delicious.

Here's a link for more information:

Pickl-it Jar System makes the NT Journal!

I'm so excited that an interview with Kathleen Mills of the Pickl-it Jars made the NT Journal this issue!
Here's a link:

And you could come and see them for yourself at the Veggie/Mayo/Ketchup workshop this Sunday at noon. They are by far the best and safest way to get a great fermented product.

The first person to respond and say they read about this on the blog can come for $40 this Sunday!
