Happy Fermentation Friday! Today we’re veering away from sauerkrauts and beverages to look at fermented breads. Specifically sourdough bread! Sourdough has to be one of my favorites, it’s a bread I remember loving as a kid. My first affair with carbs if you will. Toasted with a bit of butter, there’s nothing better than when …
Happy Fermentation Friday! Today is storytime. For me mason jar fermentation is a black hole. Where things go to die, become compost, or scattered in the backyard hoping animals will take it away. My problem is I don’t do it often enough or ever if I’m honest. You know I’m a Harsch Crock/TSM kinda girl from …
Today’s Fermentation Friday is dedicated to making soy yogurt using water kefir grains. As you’re about to learn it’s very easy and super tasty! While making the water kefir I couldn’t help but think about the variety of ferments and what gets them going. Sauerkraut uses salt to prohibit the growth of bad bacteria, but time and good bacteria …
A few months ago I picked up water kefir grains from Culture’s for Health at Moscow Food Co-op (also available on Amazon). I hadn’t hit my stride with kombucha yet (keyword yet) and wanted to try my hand at other fermented beverages. What is water kefir?

To my fermenting friends, I am sorry it has been so long since a proper sauerkraut or fermentation post of any kind. Please follow me on Instagram for timely updates in that arena and to see how I incorporate ferments into my daily eats. I have enough pictures and ideas that I could start Fermentation …
I’ve officially made the most sauerkraut at one time, 25 liters to be exact. Back in late November or early December I decided to get a couple of batches going. I wanted to try out my new Craigslist crocks and of course I had to try them both. 😉 I meant to use only one of …
I realize that it has been forever since I’ve shared a sauerkraut recipe or even given updates. I’m sorry about that and I assure you I am still here fermenting away. Promise. It has been a slower year of sauerkraut production mainly because I was gone the beginning of this year to stay in Illinois …
There are many many ways to enjoy homemade or store-bought raw fermented sauerkraut. Here are the ways I’ve enjoyed my home harvests. Over a simple salad with chopped avocado, ground pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Along side a leftover antipasto salad with fresh slices of avocado. In homemade raw vegan nori wraps with parsnip rice, avocado, and raw savory …
Welcome to the grand opening of my 9th batch of raw fermented sauerkraut. Nine – 5 liter batches in a little over a year. That’s some tasty creative fermenting. If you are interested in the recipe for this latest batch, I shared it a few weeks back. 🙂 This might have been our most …
Over a year ago I came across this DIY Sriracha post from Bonzai Aphrodite. Homemade fermented sriracha?! Sounds right up my alley! I managed to keep this idea floating about in my mentalscape even though so much time has passed. I tackled this project last week. I followed her recipe except I added an additional several …
