I have gotten questions about my freezer cooking for postpartum, and noticed elsewhere that freezer cooking to get ready for baby is a topic of interest.
I’ve written one post where I described how I planned out my meals and how I went about the actual day of cooking. Since then I’ve been asked about the [...]

When I first started teaching myself to cook I was in my late teens. I live in the good old USA and I couldn’t buy wine for cooking. So I used cooking wine. Never stopped using cooking wine.
But my mom got me a new cookbook for Christmas this year and the [...]

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 [...]

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 mid-morning [...]

I’m featuring two recipes for this week’s Real Food Wednesday because I feel like they compliment each other well and they’re inexpensive – which is perfect since our topic is Real Food on a Budget.
The major portion of this meal is the Lentil Loaf – lentils are cheap even when you buy them organic! [...]

The hour is upon us… today is the start of our 30 day food challenge. We’re taking 30 days to follow the principles of the Weston A. 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’ve decided since I’m going to be working intensively on our nutrition that I’ll join the Menu Plan Monday brigade Deciding this late I’m just barely going to make it on Monday
I’ve decided to try serving multiple-course suppers this week, in the hopes of actually filling my family of bottomless pits [...]

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 [...]
Well I had no idea I’d really need my own tips today. I woke up feeling queasy this morning and it really hasn’t gone away. I should probably make some ginger tea but the thought of putting liquid into my stomach is not agreeing with me right now!
So today my own tips were [...]
