It is a lovely day in the Garden of Eden, and we are giving thanks for more than enough of everything in this abundant life of freedom!

We made a delicious feast for our full time volunteers on our indoor wood burning stove rather than on the rocket stoves of our sustainable outdoor kitchen. We stayed nice and toasty, had a fantastic meal, AND heated water for showers for super sustainable efficiency. As usual, there was more than enough food for everyone, and we are happy to share our abundance with you!

We made a traditional Southern meal!

We made an apricot glazed ham, sautéed Brussels sprouts with mushrooms and onions, steamed acorn squash, creamy mashed potatoes, garden salad, and herbs and garlic in olive oil!

We started with our beautiful garden salad. We tore mixed greens and topped them with yellow squash, red onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh cilantro. It is great fun to pick our dinner from the garden each day!

We finely chopped fresh garlic and let it marinate in olive oil with herbs from the garden. This is a delicious drizzle on almost any dish, plus it has super antimicrobial compounds.

We steamed a sweet acorn squash and scooped the flesh out of the shell for a delicious and simple side. This is a favorite veggie for almost everyone here. The children especially love this brightly colored and flavorful squash!

We made a big pot of creamy mashed potatoes and topped them with garden fresh chives. We boiled cubed, peeled potatoes and mashed them with butter, cream cheese, and a little bit of the cooking water to make these decadent and smooth!

Here's a hot, steemy close up of our über dank mashed potatoes. Oh yassssss!!!

For another side dish, we lightly sautéed fresh Brussels sprouts in olive oil with onions and sliced mushrooms. This is one of our favorite ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts! They are also super delicious with a little but of crumbled bacon mixed in, but we made this dish vegan for everyone to enjoy.

For our meat eaters, we prepared a ham with a honey-apricot glaze. Sweet fruit pairs nicely with this salty meat!

It was a fantastic meal, and everyone had plenty to eat! We even had some mashed potatoes left over that we will likely polish off before tomorrow's feast.

Food is important, and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food!

We do all of our cooking over fire, using wood that was otherwise destined to end up in a landfill! This is our indoor wood burning stove in action - it cooks our food, warms our communal space, and heats water for hot showers all at the same time!

Food is an honored & elemental part of our daily life in community. You can learn more about our unique, intimate, and super sustainable relationship with food here!
