Traditional Foods are based on ancestral knowledge of how to eat for optimal health. Recipes have been handed down through generations and preserved by traditional cultures around the world. We are so grateful for those who have worked to share this knowledge and help us incorporate it into our modern lifestyle. Some of our favorite resources are the Weston A. Price Foundation, Chris Kresser, the Whole30 and books on einkorn by D. Gary Young and Carla Bartolucci.
This is a new section on our website, so while there isn’t much here yet we will be adding more information regularly!
Fill Your Pantry with Wholesome Ingredients
We purchase the majority of our non-perishable pantry staples from Thrive Market. Thrive offers wholesale prices delivered to your door. You can filter foods by diet, allergies, organic, etc. Thrive offers an additional 5% off most items with auto ship, which can be weekly, every 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Almost everything we order comes in glass jars so we can avoid the toxins in plastic packaging and we can easily avoid allergens (nut allergy in our family) and added sugars with the filtering options and the easy to find ingredient lists. Sure beats picking up every jar to turn over and read ingredients at the grocery store! Our favorite items to order from Thrive include:
- Organic Refined Coconut Oil
- Redmond Real Salt
- Avocado Oil Mayo
- Tuna in Pure Olive Oil
- Organic Seaweed Sushi Wraps
- Organic Canned Tomato products such as tomato paste, strained tomatoes and whole peeled tomatoes
- Organic dried fruit with no added sugar
- Collagen
We also order compostable sponges, homeopathic remedies by Boiron and more.
Thanksgiving Recipes
Many years ago we started preparing Whole30 friendly Thanksgiving recipes and most of them have stood the test of time, reappearing on our Thanksgiving menu year after year, even after we started adding back non-Whole30 foods to our diet, such as raw A2 milk from our cows and organic Einkorn flour.
