Okay, if you know me or have read my blog, you have probably heard me going on about making things from scratch, from your own kitchen, with your own hands.  So here is something else. 
I have shared with you about making my own Salsa, I have blogged about it a few times.  This, however, is a bit different.  I am not cooking any of the ingredients.  It is all raw, fermented, yummy goodness.

We had quite a picking of peppers and tomatoes out of the garden this weekend and so I got on the bandwagon and made up some of this highly nutritious salsa. 

What is "Lacto-Fermented" you ask?  Click here to read the answer!

So here are 2 of my beautiful 5 quarts of Lacto-Fermented Salsa

These type of foods are going to be so beneficial to our family, being that we have passed our sicknesses back and forth to one another for way too long...

Between this, our wonderful daily dose of CLO (cod liver oil) and ACV (Organic Apple Cider Vinegar) and our weekly trip to our favorite Chiropractor,  we should be fit as fiddles again in no time. 

There are times when convenience is so alluring, times when you are just too tired to do things right, some times when you don't plan like you (I) should.  When money is tight and you forgo the things that are the most beneficial for you.  And then you get sick and realize what you have done.  I am resolved, to not let our family go under-nourished again.  My family has never gone underfed, but we have been under-nourished and it is time this Moma steps up to the plate and changes that. :)

Let's not be slaves to this overpriced and unhealthy food that is out there tempting you with time saving convenience... What good is time saving when we are doing nothing but damaging our families... Let's take control of our lives and start really feeding our families body and soul.

So, if you don't have a copy of Nourishing Traditions ... really it is an EXCELLENT purchase!! You can check here to buy your own copy.
