Sometimes dinner is completely off the grid. Tonight’s rabbit was an example of that. Not purchased at a store or farmer’s market, simply gifted to me from generous friends who have local farmer friends.

You can find Stutzman products at the Greener Grocer. It cooks pretty much like oatmeal, two parts liquid (milk, local apple cider, water, etc.) to… Read More Apple-licious Breakfast
