Lentil Loaf and Korean Beef Soup

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! [...]

Our Food Challenge Begins – Menu Plan Monday

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.

My Nourishing New Year’s Resolutions

Ok, it may be the enemy, but it’s important…

Yes. Food again. I’m always thinking about food. Mainly because I consider prenatal nutrition so important. I have been greatly influenced by the excellent prenatal care of my nutrition-obsessed midwife for my first three children. Our midwife in our new town feels the same about the importance of nutrition. I’ve read (and written) a whole [...]

Nutrition

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, [...]
