Nourishing Traditions

If I were the name-calling type (and probably I am), I would have many unfortunate names to call Sally Fallon.  I skimmed her book, "Nourishing Traditions" and was so overwhelmed!

This book was full of really amazing and true information.  But to make the changes it called for...I threw in the towel.  Like my kids would ever eat lacto-fermented anything!  And raw milk? No way.

Plus, to make the recipes in this book would take a lot of planning ahead.  To quote a famous cartoon dad, "If something is hard to do, then it is not worth doing." Embraced!

Sadly, Homer Simpson is an idiot.  And now my husband has a fatty liver. 

And I started making kefir. Baby steps, right? (and am I not cute as a blonde?)

I have loads more changes to make!  For now, I forsake chicken nuggets and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.  We'll see how it goes from there!

Feeding the Family Wholly

Wholly?  Is this a word?  I think it might be, the David Crowder Band seemed to use a word like this in a song of theirs...

This is a really great tune, I wish I could find the official video...wait, wait, FOCUS, Myers!

So for the past 8 years, I have been properly educated on feeding my family "whole" foods.  No, really, I have so much information and so many recipes.  I have watched many documentaries, read loads of books and blogs.  I know a lot about it.

Confession:  I don't practice this stuff much.  Sure I have made small changes to our diet, some lasting, some not.  I LOVE food, love food.  I love good food.  Be sure to read that as "tasty" food, not "good for you" food.

In my laziness, I have taught my children to love junk.  My poor babies!

But don't worry, as I continue to blog, we will be detoxing. Unless mutiny ensues, which could very well happen.  To be continued...
