Okay we’re going short and sweet here. I have a hunnerd and eleventy things to do, but I’m not putting off this blog post again! 🙂 I have been ill with adrenal fatigue and couple of viruses that knocked me out for most of the last two months, so blogging got knocked way down on the to do list. Thanks to a couple of fabulous little roots that are giving extra support to my adrenal glands [
Standard Process Adrenal Complex], I’m back in action and eager to catch up. Woohoo!
There are a couple of non-local components to this meal, but they sounded really good so I decided not to exclude them. The Celtic sea salt and duck fat are neither organic nor local and the green beans are from somewhere yonder also. I always keep a few bags of our favorite frozen veggies in the freezer as back up and tear into them when the urge strikes or we need an extra veggie at mealtime.
All of the local items were purchased from The Garden Gate Farm at the
Farmington Farmers’ Market (now The Old Winery Farmers’ Market for winter), one of our two favorite farms to buy from.
Ta ta for now friends. May your days be filled with good food and great friends and your nights with restful slumber.

What lovely uses for yummy duck fat! I think you have me craving brussel sprouts again. Hope you find yourself better soon!!
Duck fat is the best! Have you tried maca for adrenal support? I just started it last month but so far like it.
Thanks ladies! Maggie, I'm going to read up on maca. Thank you so much for the suggestion! Mountain Rose Herbs claims that it hasn't been cultivated yet so to watch out for sustainability issues http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/macaroot.php which is a good reminder for me to not take any roots/herbs exclusively and to rotate and diversify. I'm going to look into adding it and some other remedies into an experimental rotation.
potatoes in duck fat. That's news to me!
Michael, it.is.divine. Last week, my daughter was bummed that she couldn't eat the candy hearts at preschool. We came home and cut hearts out of sliced potatoes, soaked them in beet kvass for food coloring, and baked them in duck fat and Celtic sea salt. She said they were much better than eating candy hearts any day!
