Here on Fat Dog Farm, we honor important events with foods and medicinal herbs. In another blog, I share a story about loss and the custom of using rosemary as a symbol for remembrance.

When I created this recipe, I was experiencing the grief over the loss of a precious goat. Furry critters touch our hearts, playing integral roles in our connections with Mother Nature. For this tea bread, I have added two adaptogen herbal powders, Rhodiola and Astragalus root, to help our bodies cope with stress from life's challenges.
