I have a kefir smoothie every morning. I use 1 c. kefir, 1/3 c. cream,

2 eggs, and honey to taste. My whole family loves it and it keeps us

full throughout the morning.

Yummy! Can you get me started with a typical recipe, like 1 cup milk, 1 cup cream? I have no idea as to proportions, at the least at the beginning. Fresh grated nutmeg? Sounds about as yummy as fresh grated ginger! Where do you get fresh nutmeg?

We have been enjoying egg nog lately-for breakfast and treats. Just whip together milk, cream, eggs and honey to taste. Top with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Delicious!Kathy

Greetings,

I am very new to having raw milk (nearly 1

week nowJ) and have been enjoying it immensely and I also have been enjoying

this email group very much. I live in Washington State on a small island in the Puget Sound. I luckily found raw milk from a very small, and beautiful, farm

about 25 minutes away. I have two small children 4 years old and 19 months and

they too are enjoying the raw milk, fresh butter and homemade yogurt. I am also

a newly Nourishing Traditions fan and although our diet was quite healthy

before, it has even turned even more healthy with this books influence. I did

have a question though. Are the raw eggs that you all are using from local

farms or from your own? I don’t recall reading about using raw eggs in NT

but I am still getting through the book and learning more and more about it

every day. Is the fear of getting sick from raw egg just another scare tactic?

Or is this something that is likely from factory farm eggs? I still do not have

a local supplier for eggs yet so I am stuck with buying them from the store and

they are coming from an organic farm in California. I actually would like to start raising chickens this coming

spring if we can research it enough and prepare for them.

Thanks,

Selena

Selena,

I understand your concern about eating raw eggs. I purchase organic, free-

range eggs directly from a farm. I keep mine in the refrigerator, but am

considering starting to leave them out (but where would I put them?). I also

have young children and generally experiment on myself first. I also do alot of

research about all the issues and about eggs, I found that 1 in 40,000

contains salmonella (same ballpark as what said). I didn't and

probably wouldn't eat raw eggs if I was buying them from a grocery store.

And keep in mind that all of us always are in contact with

salmonella, every day. It is on our skin, in our intestines, etc.

It is only when the " bad " bacteria outnumber the 'good' that we get

sick. Lots of things (diet, environmental toxins, etc.) deplete the

good bacteria, including stress.

I read recently that we should have 85% good bacteria, 15% bad, in

the intestine, and that most Americans have the same counts in

inverse proportions (15% good, 85% bad), which is what causes the

majority of disease.....

IMHO, If you eat well and consume cultured dairy and other fermented

foods on a regular basis, you don't have to worry about eggs, meat,

etc...including that stinkin flu!

(I'm crossing my fingers here; no one in my house has gotten it, but

we're not out of the water yet, either!! That's why I started the

daily dose of kefir smoothies...I MAY be immune from flu, but NOT

all the media scare tactics. )

(Source for bacteria counts is " Patient Heal Thyself " by Jordan S

Rubin. I'm not done with it yet - it's interesting, but I also get

the feeling that I just paid $15.00 for an advertisement....Garden

of Life products....jeez louise...I was going to give it to my

brother in law for Christmas, but now I'm hesitant.)
