New to Traditional “Nutrient Dense” Foods?
If you’re new to traditional nutrient-dense foods, here’s a video that will help you get started on your nourishing traditions journey to create bone broth, sourdough, ferments, and more. I hope you’ll join us!
Interview on the Video Ranking Academy Show
Last month, Tony Arriola interviewed me on Sean Cannell’s Video Ranking Academy (VRA) Show. Tony asked me a number of questions, including how I got the idea to start a YouTube channel and how I stay motivated to produce videos consistently.
I shared with Tony that I really have to credit my husband and son. Together, they encouraged me to put my traditional foods cooking classes online. They believed in me right from the start, and both their continued encouragement, as well as from my growing subscribers, helps keep me going.
And now that I have a library of over 270 videos, I have such a wonderful circle of viewers—My sweet friends as I call them—that I look forward to filming as often as I can so that we can continue on this traditional foods journey together!
Here’s a screenshot from the interview that’s available on the VRA member page:

Hi Mary,
I just want to say how excited I am for you and your award. I just found you last week searching for canning easy strawberry jam. It was my first try & I even doubled the batch. Ive never pressure canned or water bathed canned before. By following your tutorial my first time was just as thrilling as when you put the jelly on the cold saucer!
Thank you for being that women I never had to teach me such a beautiful skill like canning. Ive shared that video with many. Hugs my new friend – Im so happy about my strawberry jam.
