Hi, I posted a marinated grilled pork belly recipe.
Plus we have an ACTION ALERT post on Nanotechnology in our food. Please sign the petition to keep it out of our food (especially organic).
Finally, we have a Body Image series that we are working on called, Letting It All Hang Out. Yup — we are freaks!

Hi Katie! Great- perfect recipe for this time of year.
I’ve got a super-simple veggie side dish this week. The spinach ohitashi was perfect for my sushi night but would probably be a great side for grilled fish as well!
Thanks for sharing, Hannah!

I posted about being an omnivore…an ethical one. Is there such a thing? Let me know! http://www.lifefromscratch.ca/the-ethics-of-an-omnivore/
I wrote up this post about my perspective on antibiotic use. What do you think?
http://www.ournourishingroots.com/my-antibiotics-perspective/
Hi Kendahl! Thanks for sharing with us- here are my thoughts… (shared on your blog as well). I agree with you…there is a time and a place for antibiotics.
Other remedies should generally be tried first and for many (most!) conditions, antibiotics are not necessary. It’s our over-reliance on them (for us, for industrially farmed animals) that has destroyed our immune systems (by way of gut damage) so severely.
Nourishing our bodies with real, traditional foods is the number one thing we can do to keep up our defenses, and healing the gut is paramount to a healthy immune system. Before I healed my gut, I caught every little thing going around, and that was on top of my dozens of chronic conditions, ailments and illnesses. Now, I rarely get sick, and when I do, a well chosen natural remedy is generally more than enough to have me feeling better in no time.
When natural remedies have been exhausted and the body still can not overcome without great difficulty, it is good that we have appropriately used antibiotics in our tool kit. Supplementing with probiotic foods is crucial before, during and after this time, and even supplementation can be necessary, but it is better to get back to a state of health with one intervention (the antibiotics) rather than multiple, long term interventions (hospitalization, multiple medications, surgery, etc).
I’m sharing my recipe for a scone-like cookie that can be used to make Christmas cookies. Thank you for the blog carnival!
