I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)
Some tribal owned grocers that ship:
Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)
Native Harvest (White Earth)
Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)
Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)
Ramona Farms (Gila River)
Tanka Bars (Oglala)
Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)
Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)
Ute Bison (Ute)
Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)
She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)
Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)
Honor the Earth (?)
Nett Lake Wild Rice (Anishinaabe)
Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

Consider the way you stir! Counterclockwise banishes and repels negativity, clockwise invites + brings energy to you.

Last week, my mother decided to make chili due the freezing temperatures. It was heavenly with bread ; wish it was a little more spicy...
Crown Royal Peach Cobbler
1. Preheat oven to 400. And melt 1/2 stick of butter into a 13 by 9 Pyrex or casserole dish
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine a 28oz can of peaches (undrained), 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add 3/4 cup of Crown Royal Peach whiskey to mixture and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl combine 3/4 cup of cold water and a heaping tbsp of cornstarch to form a slurry and add to peach mixture and return to a boil.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups of self rising flour (preferably White Lily) and enough milk to make a thin batter. Whisk with a wire whisk.
5. Pour hot peaches into casserole dish with melted butter and then pour batter mixture on top.
6. Combine 2 tbsp of sugar, 2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and sprinkle on top.
7. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
I felt extremely thirsty after that...

Lately, I’ve been having dreams of a more softer, gentle version of myself. I dreamt that I was adorned with fabrics of silk and cashmere, and surrounded by precious metals and gemstones like gold and copper, and pearls, diamonds and rubies. I was also in a place where the earth was abundant with vegetation and water was clear... I have no idea what this dream means and I hope that someone can explain this to me.
I'm finally done with cleansing my home and now I'm filling it with winter blends and spices to welcome the blessings.
I think I’ll start a series on what recipes I keep in my Kitchen Witch Journal!
Ingredients:
Salt and Pepper - Banish negative energy
2 Cups Chicken Broth
Tomato Paste - Healing, protection
3 garlic cloves - Protection, healing
1 cup heavy cream (Or half and half)
4 cans of diced tomatoes or whole tomatoes - Protection, love
Basil Leaves - Love, trust, abundance, prosperity
Olive Oil
Directions:
Take a large pot and pour enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Put on medium high heat and cook the garlic until fragrant. About 3 minutes. Add in the tomato paste and stir.
Add in the tomatoes and chicken stock. Once it reaches a gentle boil add in the cream, salt snd pepper and basil leaves.
Use an immersion blender to blend in tomatoes or use a potato masher until the soup is smooth.
Spoon into a bowl and top it with basil and croutons. Serve with good ole’ fashion grilled cheese.

I absolutely love this recipe! The bread is soft, and is perfect for sandwiches, French toast, and pretty much everything you can think of. I don’t want to buy bread from the store ever again!
6 Cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ Cups very warm water
2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Butter
Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).
When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.
Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.
Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.
Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.
Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)
Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.
Makes 2-3 loaves of bread.
