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 spiral sliced honey ham, fresh garden salad, chicken and vegetable soup, spaghetti squash, and steamed potatoes!
Our bright, abundant meal was prepared over fire using wood that we salvaged from the landfill cycle - no electricity, no propane, and no petroleum needed for running our stove!
We started the meal with a fresh garden salad with greens and a vibrant selection of veggies! Today we used red bell pepper, red onions, grated carrots, sliced cucumber, and green onions. We always offer a selection of nuts, seeds, vinegars, oils, cheeses, and other toppings like nutritional yeast or croutons for each person to dress their salad to their exact taste!
We served a hot soup today with a nutritious bone broth base, chunks of chicken, onion, garlic, zucchini, yellow squash, celery, carrots, and a handful of herbs. Soups are delicious, and broth based ones like this are very hydrating and healthful! They are great additions to winter meals and very easy to make for a big group.
We made a spiral sliced honey ham as the main dish for our meat eaters. We topped it with a decadent sauce made from acorn squash, apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, allspice, and pineapple juice for a bright taste.
We steamed a large spaghetti squash to serve as a side dish too. When it was fork tender, we scraped it into a bowl. It's a fun veggie because it naturally separates itself into "noodles"! We tossed it with a bit of coconut oil and some fresh herbs for extra nutrition and flavor.
We made a simple pot of steamed orange sweet potatoes and creamy yukon gold potatoes too! We love potatoes of any variety. These are so easy to make! Just scrub the skin, poke with a fork, and steam until fork tender. We offered a selection of toppings for the potatoes too, including butter, sour cream, salt, and green onions.
It was a beautiful selection of high vibe, delicious, nutritious, sustainable food, and we shared it in great company and gratitude.
There was more than enough food for everyone!
# 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!

It's so nice of you, you promote natural food cook in an old fashion way. You reminded me my old days when my grand mom cooked food by firing wood. I still remember the yummy taste of food cooked in wooden fire and clay pots. Thanks for sharing @gardenofeden
You're welcome :)
Cooking over fire is a traditional method, it's more sustainable than alternatives, and it tastes way better! Glad to share a nice memory with you @kamchore !

I love the photographs they took. All the foods are ordered and clean, Food is part of our daily life and at the same time it makes the function of uniting people around a table full of love and work. How much I would like to accompany you in this so rewarding social work @gardenofeden
How grateful we would be for more genuine help @perlanacarada!
I always look forward to seeing what you've come up with for each sustainable feast. This one is a good one, and the sauce for the ham sounds amazing. As does the soup for those who want something lighter.
We like to offer options for everyone, but aim to make every single dish something unique, satisfying, wholesome, and inspired :)

You're welcome
Thats awesome and whole mouth watery delicacies
And it's all sustainable!
For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of 'passive action,' the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.
Would be great if more people would honor and embody their innate divinity, and recognize it in others.
Glad you replied
Thank you for your support
Great photography n great presentation of food. It looks so tasty. Yummmmm

Your pleased me, and also pleased as you conduct the blog.I wish you to blow off a large jackpot.Successes to you and good day
Copy/paste comments are not a recipe for success here.
I really like your initiative!
I am a chef interested in food sustainability albeit on a much smaller scale. Where I work we grow our own organic veg, make olive oil and have a few chickens for eggs. Wood is not really a sustainable resource on the barren island of Malta but it's interesting tosee what you people are doing. Keep up the good work
Trying to leave a few recipes on my blog which you might find interesting
The sweet potatoes were soo good!
