Healthy and tasty do not need to be mutually exclusive.

The other day, it was getting near dinner time. I didn’t feel like cooking, but I didn’t want to order out either. We had some snacks in the refrigerator, so I decided to make a meal out of them.

pate and crudite

This chicken liver pate was made the old fashioned way using all natural ingredients. It’s totally organic, too. We found the recipe in Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions book. It turned out deliciously yummy. The sauerkraut is also home made. It is raw and contains lots of healthy probiotics, thanks to the natural fermentation process that takes a few weeks to happen.

When I said I wasn’t cooking, I think my husband expected me to reheat something we had left over in the fridge. Instead I arranged our snacks on little plates and serving boards. I think they look quite good this way – and let’s face it, eating foods that are presented well are always tastier. Oh, the pickles are also raw fermented – no vinegar included. Really healthy and tasty, too.

Here’s everything all together. I hope you like them. I’ll write up the recipes in a future post. For now, feast your eyes on the photos.
