Prepare Your Winter Yummies: Activate that Squirrel Medicine
If we all lived in a tropical climate where winters meant a slight drop in temperature and an increase of rain fall, with little to no interruption in the regular outpouring of foods produced all year round, living the raw vegan way would be easy. However, for those of us in the beautiful northern, temperate climates it is wise to prepare those winter yummies, so that you can carry some of summers abundance into those leaner months and never have the feeling that you are being deprived of what you love and are nourished by.
We hope that this e-book will empower you to begin the first steps, or if you are already actively involved in your winter food storage, give you new ideas on how to prepare your winter yummies. It truly is a lot of fun, creative, certainly less expensive and deeply satisfying to be involved in the care of your food, rather than leaving it up to someone else.
