Time to FERMENT!

I have been having fun this week. In my spare time, ;-) with fermenting.

I bought The complete idiot's guide to fermenting forever ago and I am just now reading it and trying out the recipes. And of course I am referencing my Nourishing traditions book

Tonight we will be tasting our first batch of dill pickles and carrots for dinner. I am very excited.

Right now I have going on the counter....
More garlic ginger carrot sticks
Kimchi
Garlic sauerkraut
Cream cheese
Yogurt

All milk products are being made with REAL milk from Pasture's Delights!  Thank you Mark!!

Once I collect the whey from my cream cheese and yogurt, I will be fermenting some local asparagus! I can't wait.

I will keep you posted on how things taste. :-)

Stay GREEN,
Kerri

This post is just a sharing post.  The title says it all.  

My Uncle Jim and Aunt Charlotte gave me a large box of fresh vegetables from their garden after the passing of my father-in-law (whom I still miss like crazy).  This gift was a gift that provided many meals, gorgeous pictures and much more.  My Uncle has a green thumb like nothing I have ever seen before.

Isn't this just beautiful?

Hot peppers to eat throughout the year!  Yum!  I love canning.  What you can't use right now can last you throughout the year.  So very cool and easy.

At the bottom of the box was more surprises....hot peppers!!

I love hot peppers.
