bubbies sauerkraut

[Guest guest]

Sam,

Bubbies is pasteurized, and so all the probiotics are dead. The best

way is to make homemade fermented foods. We do beverages because they

are easier and the kids like them.

For drying the nuts, if I am going to bake with them anyway, I dry them

in the oven as they will be exposed to higher heat in the baked goods.

This diet is a bunch of work, no doubt about it.

Also, for meal ideas, I sometimes get more exotic meats for a change of

pace--duck, goose, lamb, pork. It is still meat and veggies, but it is

a little different, at least.
