Ancestral Kitchen #14 - What's in Our Fridge? A Peek Into Our Kitchens!
“Every time we talk, you’re an education for me. I know what you’re telling me is your normal is going to be really great information for me.” Andrea
Ever just want to have a nose inside somebody's fridge? Well, we sure do, so today we got together and shared a list of EVERYTHING inside our refrigerators! It's such a cool way to get an instant snapshot into a household's diet and routine, seasonal adaptability and favorite rotations!
We would love to see a peek inside YOUR fridge as well - post a picture on Instagram and tag @AncestralKitchenPodcast!
“That was an experiment... That didn’t go very well, but I’m still using it.” Alison

Raw Milk Creamer Recipe
Raw Milk Creamer from livesimply.me
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1. Pour the ingredients into a tall bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients together for 20-30 seconds. It's important to keep the blending time short since the cream will thicken the longer you blend (AKA: whipped cream!). If you don't have an immersion blender, vigorously whisk the ingredients until combined.
2. Pour the coffee creamer into a storage bottle (like a mason jar). Store the creamer for up to 7 days, depending on the expiration date on your milk and cream. Gently shake the coffee creamer if separation occurs.
“Basically you’re adding nutritional properties to your food with the processes. And now it’s weird because the modern world food processing strips nutritional value out of food.” Andrea

Cold Brew Coffee Insert for Mason Jar
Cold Brew Coffee Andrea's Way
Grind 6 oz French roast organic coffee on "press" grind setting. Pour into half-gallon insert linked above. Pour 4 oz boiling water over, then slowly fill jar with room-temperature water. Let sit at room temp or in fridge 24 hours, remove insert and enjoy! It's especially decadent in a glass of ice with the maple creamer poured over the top.
