Breast to Bib – review and giveaway!
You know, there are so many great books out there, and this is definitely one of the best.
Breast to Bib by Kate Tietje is a book I wish I had access to when I was pregnant with my children.
I was honored to be able to review Breast to Bib before it was published. You will find the following quote of mine at the top of the list under “Praise for Breast to Bib:”
Okay, I am in total love with your book. I have never been so happy with a book written about baby foods! I jumped on the “AP” bandwagon eight years ago, and have been immersed in all things AP since. I agree whole-hardheartedly with your breastfeeding advice, when to introduce what foods to toddlers, and your advice about supplements. Your recipes are easy to make and wholesome foods the whole family can enjoy!
You see, it’s not very often you find a gem like this. Read the full post here →

Sourdough Shy? Not any more! Empower yourself…
First let me share with you one of my personal flaws: I hate trying new things like recipes or cooking concepts. I feel I am going to fail since I’ve never attempted it before (whatever “it” is), and I don’t want to waste ingredients if it doesn’t come out right. It takes so much mental preparation before I can actually take that first step for anything new.
I’ve been wanting to make sourdough anything for months now (okay, years, really). If only we lived in traditional times where grandmothers and mothers taught kids and grandkids how to make things. But in these modern times, it’s surprising if a mom can even cook, right?
So…I made a starter, and started right away put it in the fridge for a day few weeks. I took it out and it sat on the counter for a day few days. I was just dragging out the process, as you can see, because I was afraid it wouldn’t work.
Finally, last week I made sourdough biscuits for the first time. I was super nervous they wouldn’t come out right, but they weren’t bad at all, and were actually flaky. My kids even liked them.
But I still felt uneasy, not sure if I could attempt anything else. And honestly, I wasn’t even sure I could make them again and have them come out the same way…
And then I had the opportunity to take the Sourdough eCourse by GNOWFGLINS.
I FEEL SO EMPOWERED!

Real Food Basics: review, coupon code, and giveaway!
You’ve probably heard of Nourishing Traditions by now. It is a wonderful reference book full of all the information and recipes needed to motivate you to eat a traditional diet.
However, flipping open Nourishing Traditions can give you the overwhelming feeling you need to dump all the food out of your house immediately or you will die before dawn. It requires baby steps.
On the other hand, Katie Tetje’s book, Real Food Basics, is a breath of fresh air. You feel empowered to make changes – even today. You know you can handle it! Familiar recipes with real food ingredients make the task of swapping over to real foods totally manageable. Read the full post here →
