Combining gluten-free eating with ancestral eating need not be daunting. Today I talk with Rebecca Zipp, a beloved podcast guest and supporter. She's been gluten-free for the last 16 years – bringing her husband and her children along with her. In addition, for most of last year I ate gluten-free. Between the two of us we've a lot to talk about!

In this episode, we cover:

1. Why Rebecca went gluten-free and the impact it's had on her.
2. Examples of gluten-free breakfasts lunches and dinners.
3. The mass of gluten-free carbohydrate options, and how we use them
4. The basics of gluten-free breadmaking

...and Rebecca finishes the episode giving words of wisdom from her 16 years of gluten-free eating.

And remember, gluten doesn't necessarily have to be an all or nothing: making one of your meals a day gluten-free or several days a week gluten-free or going gluten-free for a short space of time can make a big difference to digestion. So even if you don't have to avoid gluten all the time the things we talk about in this episode will help lighten, change up and inspire your kitchen.

What are some traditional foods we can eat for breakfast, and do we have examples of ancestral breakfasts in history? In this episode Alison and I got together to talk about what we eat to start the day. We included a variety of “types” of breakfasts. First, we start out with fast breakfasts, things you can make very quickly. Whether you’re going to school, you have kids going to school, or you homeschool - there’s not a lot of time in the morning typically to linger over a long breakfast. We then included some longer prep but hands-off breakfasts. Things you could make if you were getting up early; you could start it simmering or baking and then head off to chores and come back to a finished breakfast. Next, we covered some portable breakfasts. These are things you could take in the train, in the car, I guess in your carriage, and get out doing chores or heading into town.

We have a lot of delicious breakfasts here and went way over the number of breakfasts I intended! We got some really delicious ones for you! I am looking forward to hearing your feedback. For supporters of the podcast, I put all my notes including all the breakfasts Alison and I discussed here in the download section for podcast supporters. The resources for everybody listening to this episode are awesome, there are a ton of recipes linked in the show notes, so go down and grab those links so you can make all these delicious meals for your family!

The cost of eating an ancestral, nourishing diet, vs the cost of eating a conventional, supermarket diet: people are already stretched to the limit on their grocery budgets, so how can we ask them to spend even more on buying more nutritious or local food? Even if it’s important to them, what if the dollars literally do not exist? How are we to eat? These were the questions burning in my mind when I sat down with the Nourishing Traditions cookbook to make a list of ten easy, favorite recipes. I wanted to see how much more expensive they were to make at home with organic ingredients vs buying the cheapest factory version available, to help people figure out how they could accommodate them into their budget, but what I found astonished me. I was not prepared for the fact that almost every single recipe I calculated was actually cheaper to make with local or small-farm, grass-fed, ancestral, organic ingredients. I couldn’t put this episode together fast enough, I was so excited to share it with you!

I got rather overambitious and included a total of 20 recipes, five of which are great examples of the local version costing slightly more, and they did not all fit in this episode, so Alison and I recorded an aftershow which is available on our private podcast, Kitchen Table Chats, which is included in the Companionship level of support. Thank you for supporting the podcast and our work! I also dropped all my notes, including my tedious calculations of ingredients, into a document and uploaded it for supporters to download. This document has the titles and page numbers and price breakdown for almost every recipe. Without further ado, let’s get into the episode now.

How, when you’ve got limited money, no spare time and family who are used to eating what they eat…

How when you can’t find alternatives, don’t have the room to grow it yourself and don’t have the headspace…

How do you get out of supermarkets?

In this, our Guide to Getting Out of Supermarkets episode, we’ll give you a stack of practical ideas (from us and from our supporters) that'll change things up.

You’ll leave inspired, tooled-up and as ready as we can ever help you be to have your home turn its back on our industrial food system and say hello to sane, local supplies; food as it is meant to be.

And, as requested by supporters, we kept the recording running and talked about the other place most of us want to get away from, but find incredibly hard: Amazon. This extra recording will be going up on our private podcast feed for supporters of the show.

In this episode, Alison and Andrea will talk about some favorite tools and remedies they keep on hand, as well as procedures they use, in times of illness. This episode is not medical advice.

What is ancestral eating?

After three years of recording podcast episodes, we thought it was about time we tackled this topic head-on. Because, although the word ancestral has become much more mainstream since we started, there is still much confusion about eating and living this way.

In this episode you will first hear us talk about what ancestral eating isn’t (including how it is different from eating carnivore or paleo) before we get onto defining what ancestral eating is. We will explain that it is not prescriptive, it's a philosophy and we will share what it means, practically, in the kitchen.

We both eat ancestrally, but our individual diets and kitchens look different we will outline that for you before talking about Who's Who in the ancestral eating world and giving you accessible and fun ways to move forward in your own ancestral kitchens.

Episode 100 is a huge milestone for us two ladies who love cooking and eating this way – please do share this episode and our podcast with anyone who you think would benefit from what we are up to.

Ask us anything, we said! Grill us like a cheese sandwich! And you did! Our podcast supporters sent in questions for Alison and I to answer for this final episode of 2024 and we had a lot of fun answering them. Some of them were crazy! Some would take an entire podcast episode to answer thoroughly, and they were all really fun - like, "What are some non-ancestral things you do, or ancestral things you don't plan to ever do?" Or, "Tell us about Alison's past life!" Alison and I also came with some questions for each other, and we did not tell each other in advance what they would be, and we had a lot of fun answering them. We also recorded our aftershow and included it in this main feed episode as our gift to you. What other questions would you have asked? What are your answers to these questions? Do you think we answered them right? Tell us your thoughts after you hear this episode.

In this wonderful episode, I got to sit down with Christine Muldoon, who is a friend, the creator of NourishtheLittles.com, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, a mother and wife, and also a follower of the Weston A Price principles of food. She is also the co-host of the podcast Modern Ancestral Mamas with her amazing co-host, Corey Dunn. I wanted to tap into Christine's incredible knowledge base and wisdom for post-partum care, and really nourishing mom in the post-partum window of time. I wanted to highlight WHY it is so important, why is the rest so important, and what are some of the foods we should be focusing on and types of foods we should be eating. Christine absolutely delivered in this episode, I enjoyed hearing all her wisdom and great advice as well as some humorous stories along the way.
