Description

With Shannon Stronger's homestead-style recipes, it's easier than ever to feed your family wholesome, traditional meals that are both simple and affordable. Utilizing traditional ingredients like bone broth, grass-fed animal products, cultured foods, veggies and whole grains allows you to maximize the nutritional value of your meals while minimizing the strain on your wallet. In addition to teaching you to make the most of meat and other pricier ingredients, Shannon also helps you keep costs low by showing you how to ferment and store certain foods so that they stay fresher longer and make common ingredients from scratch. Start off your day right with Soured Gluten-Free Pancakes or Sweet Potato and Greens Breakfast Skillet. Dinnertime is made simple with hearty favorites like Dutch Oven Whole Chicken Cacciatore with Rice, Stretch the Meat-and-Bean Loaf and Moroccan-Spiced Sprouted Chickpea Stew. Complete the meal with Zesty Cabbage Salad or Kids' Favorite Broccoli and Brussels. Shannon tells you how to stretch your ingredients and transform frugal foods into even more delicious through processes like fermenting, sprouting, souring and soaking. These accessible gluten-free recipes are ones you'll be reaching for again and again.
