It is an amazing day in the Garden of Eden, and we are giving thanks for more than enough of everything in this abundant life of freedom!  

We made a delicious feast for our full time volunteers today on our indoor wood burning stove rather than on the rocket stoves of our sustainable outdoor kitchen. We stayed nice and toasty, had a fantastic meal, AND heated water for showers for super sustainable efficiency. As usual, there was more than enough food for everyone, and we are happy to share our abundance with you!

Today we made a great spread with roasted turkey, fresh salad, not one but TWO kinds of mashed potatoes, and a vegetable medley!

It is a fantastic reality to have more than enough sustainable, healthy, delicious food for sharing freely every single day, and we give thanks for this and many more blessings with every meal! 

Today we started our wholesome feast with a bright garden salad. We made a bed of curly, dark green kale, and topped it with grated carrot, red and yellow bell pepper, cauliflower, red onion, and sliced mushrooms. We love raw food, and we include salads with every meal! In the wintertime, we generally don't make the bulk of our meals raw dishes, and our salads are fresh and satisfying. 

This is the first of two mashed potato variations we served with tonight's feast! We prepared a vegan version for those of us who prefer to avoid dairy these days, and filled them with coconut oil and nutritional yeast. They were plenty tasty even for our non-vegans! We'll share the food formula tomorrow. 

For our second mashed potato dish with this meal, we made a traditional version with plenty of butter, heavy cream, and salt and pepper. They were creamy and delicious! 

For our meat eaters, we offered slices of seasoned roasted turkey breast. Turkey is a light white meat, and we rubbed it with butter, garlic, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. 

For another side dish, we steamed spaghetti squash, scraped out the natural "noodles"/strings, and tossed them with sautéed onions, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, and yellow squash. It was flavorful, wholesome, full of tons of vitamins and minerals, and appealing to our meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike! 

We served cheese on the side so anyone could take a liberal sprinkle for any dish they wanted to cheese-ify.

We also offered tangy, sweet orange cranberry sauce, a classic pairing for roasted turkey!

It was a fantastic meal, once again shared in great company.

And it was all sustainable, delicious, and super nutritious! 

Food is important, and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food! 

We do all of our cooking over fire, using wood that was otherwise destined to end up in a landfill! This is our indoor wood burning stove in action - it cooks our food, warms our communal space, and heats water for hot showers all at the same time!

Food is an honored & elemental part of our daily life in community. You can learn more about our unique, intimate, and super sustainable relationship with food here!
