Sleep deprivation started to get to me last week since we’re facing night-wakings x4 kids right now and it’s hard. Hopefully we are going to get through the night wetting issues over the next few months and we’ll all be sleeping better. Until then I need to remember that what doesn’t kill me makes me [...]

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 [...]

I’m pleased to say I do not feel completely burned out this week like I did last week. Two things helped a lot – both things I considered in my last update.
Getting more efficient
First, soaking everything for the week at once then putting it in the fridge was a lifesaver. It really helped me because [...]

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 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! [...]

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 [...]
