\"Fermented<\/a>Our local Meetup group, Houston Real Food Nutrition<\/a>, had a fantastically successful meeting last night at Partners in Paleo<\/a> in League City.\u00a0 Over thirty members and guests attended the event.\u00a0 Susan Doiron gave an exceptionally thorough demonstration of making fermented vegetables and fruits.\u00a0 Her goals were to show us how easy it is to make healthy, probiotic fermented foods and to inspire us to get started making our own.\u00a0 Susan loves to cook and her enthusiasm for teaching others was quite apparent.\u00a0 She was tireless as she talked about how to make fermented vegetables and fruits.\u00a0 One of the best parts of her demonstration was that we all got to taste every one of the many different foods she brought with her.\u00a0 Lucky us–she provided her recipes for all of them!\u00a0 I ate all of the samples which included some very spicy ones, some with exotic flavors, and some that were just everyday delicious.\u00a0 By the way, she had several capable volunteer assistants, including Jamie in the photo with Susan.\u00a0 \"PnP<\/a>Fermented foods are an excellent aid to digestion and are good to eat as a condiment with each meal.\u00a0 Susan said that her foray into making fermented foods began several years ago when she was inspired by the traditional cookbook Nourishing Traditions<\/em><\/a> by Sally Fallon.<\/p>\n

While Susan demonstrated and provided samples, we were served a delicious paleo meal prepared by Jeanette Pearson, the chef\/owner of Partners in Paleo.\u00a0 We were offered a choice of pastured chicken or grassfed beef.\u00a0 I chose the beef and was treated to braised oxtail served with creamed cauliflower and carrot soufflee.\u00a0 \"Grassfed<\/a>I ate all of my meat and vegetables, and (don’t tell anybody) even ate around all those wonderful bones. I didn’t want to miss a single bite of the very flavorful and tender grassfed beef.\u00a0 Those who had the chicken (stuffed with spinach and garlic) seemed to enjoy theirs as much as I did my beef.<\/p>\n

I am excited that so many people in Houston are really interested in eating healthy, nutrient-dense food!\u00a0 As of the last count, we have 99 members in our Meetup group which was only set up last September!\u00a0 Wow, almost 100!\u00a0 We are planning more demos in the future, on subjects like making bone broth, kefir, and yogurt plus more presentations on subjects like nutrient-dense foods, raw milk, fats, and many more.\u00a0 We’re also hoping to be able to show movies and videos about Real Food, nutrition, and health.\u00a0 We want to have meetings in other locations around the area and are open to suggestions.\u00a0 Please join us<\/a> if you are interested in learning and sharing with others who want to eat Real Foods for better health!<\/p>\n
