Switch to Real Foods, One Step at a Time

I remember when I first read Nourishing Traditions. I had just had my first baby, had no time to even consider cooking, and was breastfeeding literally all of the time. I devoured every page of that book. And then I felt completely overwhelmed. I thought “There’s no way!” That book suggested that every thing I…

From the Kitchen: Memories, Recipes, and Thoughts

The door to our little cabin opens right into the kitchen. From that door you see the barbed wire that lines the front of our two acres. Beyond that barbed wire is our dirt road that blows dust into every crevice in our kitchen when it’s dry and is as slick as ice when it…

Farmers Breakfast Hash and Using Corn Tortillas

Every day I get up, make breakfast, wash dishes, sweep the floor, and start school with the boys. Every day I think I really need to catch up on dishes/emails/blogging/laundry. And every night I go to bed having almost never made strides in playing catch up. And so it is in this space with sharing…

A Simple Black Bean Soup

We eat beans or legumes nearly every day in our home. I suppose that is one way we feed this growing family of ours real food on a budget. Beans and rice, beans and tortillas, lentils or hummus, and bean soups are not all that glamorous, but they are inexpensive, nourishing fare that can go…

It was good to see this menu plan. After seeing all the things you are NOT going to eat I was sort of wondering what you would be eating! 😉 Doesn’t really look terribly different aside from the lack of cheese and using the coconut milk. Funny, I’m reading Eat Fat, Lost Fat finally and just bought some coconut milk to try the coconut tonic myself since I’m supposedly allergic to dairy.
