Nothing better than fermented butter paired with real sourdough bread! Our class last night had a chance to make and try this butter along with 2 types of yogurt and kefir. #cookingclass #food #esfl #eatlikehumans #butter #nutrientdense #bread #sourdough

The most important times in our lives to be conscious of a #nutrientdense & #bioavailable diet is when we are infants and when we are mothers! Happy Mother’s Day! #happymothersday #realfood #nextgeneration #esfl
