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 [...]

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 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 [...]

More on eating well! During pregnancy (and lactation and preconception) you need to be eating a really nutrient-dense diet. Children also need lots of nutrition packed into all their meals – in fact, there’s not much room for empty calories. So even if you’re not dieting (don’t diet when you’re pregnant or nursing an infant!) [...]

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 up. Thus [...]

I firmly believe that excellent nutrition in pregnancy is vital. If you’ve read any of the articles I’ve written about food you know that :p I continue to emphasize it in new articles and here in the blog because so many women don’t realize just how important it is. Of course there are articles all [...]
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. [...]

In preparation to conceive I’ve been working on my nutrition. I’ve been working on it about six months now, with some serious slacking off in November. But I worked hard at it again in December and pretty much so far this month. I can tell because my pants don’t fall off without a belt now, [...]
