Yes, one can go to Costco and buy a massive shaker of Parsley for a couple $. It’ll last you all year most likely. On the other hand, lets say in theory you planted a small broad leaf parsley plant and it grew like crazy, stronger than any of the other herbs in the garden. [...]

Dehydrating 101: Grapes into Raisins

Let us wander farther down the lane of dehydrating…to raisins. Raisins? Yes, the mostly unloved dried fruit (berry) of the grocery aisle. Which is easy to see why – most raisins are bland and or hard. There are so many varieties of grapes though – seedless and seeded. Considering one is lucky to see more than 2 types in [...]

Dehydrating 101: Rosehips

In modern times one might question the wisdom of dehydrating rose hips. It is easy to forget that they are truly a food, one rich in Vitamin C and also tastes great. Snappy, tart and simply wild. They make a lovely “herbal” tea in winter once dried and can be soaked fresh in handmade syrups or honey to make [...]

I brought home over the weekend two pounds of green beans, just picked, from my favorite farm. Originally I was thinking to pickle and can them, instead I dehydrated them for long-term storage.

In August of 2011 I attended the Vida Vegan Conference in Portland, Oregon. One of the ladies I met was Amber Shea Crawley, whose first book came out in late February this year. She is great to chat with and has so many ideas. I’ll say it, if you have any tendencies towards raw style foods, pick [...]

If you follow the FBC Facebook page you might have seen some “urban foraging” I did this week. While some may argue about ethics, I have no qualms about gently picking fruit trees at abandoned/foreclosed homes.
