The Food Allergies

I know I haven't posted for months. I have some catching up to do, including sharing about the birth of my sweet baby five months ago! But today my mind is on food allergies. While I was pregnant, my son's diet took a backseat. I was just really struggling with being pregnant--the nausea, the food [...]

9 Reasons to Eat Real Food

I remember when I thought that protein bars were a healthy snack. When I thought flax oil infused margarine was good for the heart. I remember buying 1% milk because my mom always bought us lowfat, so that's what I was supposed to drink, right?? I remember when I bought the cheap "wheat" bread, thinking [...]

My New “Diet”

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have gone off the GAPS diet. I had more or less intended it to be sort of a trial, to see if it was really going to be better for me to eat starches, but now that I've gotten off of GAPS, I don't even have the [...]

Rooibos Kombucha

My heart goes out to those who are struggling with infertility. I know some people may have [...]

Balancing Omegas on a Grain-free Diet

If you are on the GAPS Diet, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, or possibly Paleo or other grain-free diet, you might be eating a lot of nuts or nut products. When we give up grains, sometimes it hard to give up all those baked goods, too, so we use flour alternatives, which are usually almond or coconut [...]

Humble Foodist

This is to be my 100th post in over a year of blogging here. That's not a lot. I don't have a lot of time to blog, so I try to make each and every post count. Blogging more regularly would mean more followers, more comments, more "attention." But I'm not here for that. I'm [...]
