Hi Sarah,

Hi Sarah,

Our WAPF chapter here in Ventura County, California, just hosted a NP from our area, Dr. Meridin Grace yesterday, who did an outstanding introduction to the GAPS diet. She has met and studied with Dr. Campbell-McBride. It inspired me to give it a go, even though I’ve found eating the WAPF way has already helped my gut immensely. I hope anyone reading this from our area, and needs this type of help, will seek her out. She also hosts a free chat time at a local shop in Ventura, Coffee, Tea and Bean on Wednesday from 7:00 to 9:00. Google her website.

It’s back to basics for all the newbies, or just as a refresher for all of us. REAL FOOD 101 over at Our Nourishing Roots is a weekly post where we discuss the building blocks of real food.

This week I make a simple lacto-fermented ketchup to use as is or as a base for cocktail sauce, BBQ sauce, or fry sauce. Yum!

Here is ANOTHER list from me, lol! I made a list for the seasoned real foodie with some items that I already own, and some that I really want to get someday. But don’t worry, these are all quality items that do not wear out either at all or not very quickly. I think it’s very green to buy items that withstand the test of time.
