Make yogurt a couple times a week, but that's a bit different.

Fermentation is fabulous. I wouldn't make it through winter without it. Fermentation is like a secret the modern world doesn't want us to know:  
Wait....bacteria can be....good, even healthy??? Egads!!!
Wait...preservatives are not the only way to keep food from going bad??? Mon Dieu!!!
Wait...it can make food even more delicious??? Woohooo!!!

My life is so much richer, now that fermentation is well and truly in it. My body is healthier, my taste buds party at every meal. I save a ton of money, I waste less food. Experimentation keeps my mind alive. Stacking functions like it's going out of style!

Saurkraut, Pickles, sometimes kombucha. Going to try to start sourdough again this week, I haven't been successful in the past with that.
Does anyone have a good root beer recipe?

yogurt and tempeh weekly.
sauerkraut monthly.

kimchi, pickles, etc seasonally.

I really liked the fermented salsa and also the black bean dip in Nourishing traditions but no one else did so I don't make them very often.

I went on a sourdough binge for awhile (again) and dropped it recently as it fed my wheat addiction I love breads but not the weight I gain.

i didn't see the "HELL YEAH!" option???

we're definitely in the hell-yeah category. like i'm not even sure where to start telling you what i make. And that's just talking about the human-consumables, not the garden concoctions.
