There is heated debate about whether this was so in more traditional societies – I haven’t seen any answer convincing enough to allow me to weigh in on any side of the issue. (Note: please allow me to clarify that “seems” means [...]

Yes, this week we’re eating a lot of winter squashes. But they are inexpensive and in season so I’m serving them. Avocados have also been on perpetual sale, we must be getting a lot trucked in. This week I’m experimenting with a suggestion of Dr. Pottenger’s, which is to serve a green salad and two [...]

The 30-day “traditional foods” food challenge is still going well in that we’re all on course (well, Scott ate one hard candy, but we won’t hold it against him… he also had me buy tortilla chips and salsa – but he hasn’t eaten any yet.) I have been having major cravings too, to be fair. [...]

We’re well into the food challenge and definitely eating well. Everyone appears to be enjoying it thus far because traditional foods are incredibly tasty! I haven’t noticed much difference in how I feel physically other than I find I tend to have a pleasantly full tummy most of the day. Moving from breakfast to the [...]

Price Foundation (WAPF) and the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (PPNF). Everything I prepare will be based on the principles of eating healthy traditional cultures had. And foods I’m buying [...]

I sat down a couple of weeks ago and went over my goals for 2008 then set out my goals for 2009. I feel good about 2008 – I accomplished my major goal of having a healthy baby, and I redesigned my site with a fresh design and clean code. Several of my 2009 goals [...]

I hope you enjoyed a good holiday season! Ours was nice – plenty of time to enjoy the kids, and plenty of time to be overwhelmed with presents! Aside from my sewing machine I think my favorite gift is Julia Child’s Mastering The Art of French Cooking, which I requested and received from my mom. [...]
In my home I am constantly thinking about food. Part of this is because I’m usually pregnant or nursing and therefore hungry. Part of it is because my entire family has an insatiable appetite. Bottomless pits. All of them. And I want to feed them well. I have been working on progressively improving our diet. [...]
