I love to share a dinner of classic comforting favorites. It's fun to alter these classics just slightly so that they maintain the traditional taste we all love while boosting the nutrient profile through the roof. You see, I adore feeling like a super human. Nutrient dense meatloaf ingredients 1 lb grass fed ground beef 1/2 lb grass fed ground beef liver 1/2 lb pasture raised ground pork 4 eggs … [Read more...] about Nutrient Dense Meatloaf Recipe
10 Grain Free Dinners On A Budget
Perhaps you are on the GAPS diet, eat low carb, or do paleo. Personally, I just feel better when I don't eat a lot of grains, beans, and white potatoes - even when the grains and beans are properly prepared through soaking, sprouting, or fermenting. I feel less bloated, less cranky, and even have clearer skin. Problem is, I'm on a budget. A bowl of rice and beans, a pile of pasta, a hunk of bread, or a big side of … [Read more...] about 10 Grain Free Dinners On A Budget
Real Food Done Frugally: Getting Started
The holidays are officially over at our house, so it's time to get our hands dirty with the Real Food Done Frugally budget. Since my post last week, I've gotten plenty of great tips.

Pork and Sauerkraut Over Mash – GAPS Friendly
It is a tradition on my mom's side of the family to eat pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes every new year's day. Growing up, I never appreciated the deliciousness of this Pennsylvania Dutch comfort food - though I really loved instant mashed potatoes out of a box! Now a real food-lovin' grown-up, there's not much I enjoy more than slow cooked pork. Add some homemade sauerkraut and spoon it over cauliflower mash for a … [Read more...] about Pork and Sauerkraut Over Mash – GAPS Friendly
How To Eat Real Food On A Budget
Tee hee. [nervous giggle] Do you think I actually have an answer to that? Well... "This is the year of fiscal conservation" - or so says my husband. Hmph. I've never been one for budgets, and while I don't fancy myself an extravagant shopper (no Manolo pumps or Louis Vuitton hand bags in my closet), I do have a weak spot for home decor, and you guessed it, real food. Folks ask all the time, "How can you afford to eat … [Read more...] about How To Eat Real Food On A Budget

Green Soup for Cleansing
You know what's worse than breaking down and binging on too much sugar? The few days or weeks afterwards when you're stuck in a cycle of dependence and disgust with sweets. Perhaps you have no idea what I'm talking about. Or perhaps you feel like I can read your mind. But either way, this recipe is my go-to favorite when I'm in need of something both nurturing and cleansing. This green soup is the perfect antidote to a … [Read more...] about Green Soup for Cleansing
How to Get Vitamin D in Winter
On this, the darkest day of the year, I thought it would be fitting to share the best ways to get the sunshine vitamin - vitamin D - in winter when there's not much sun to be had. Even as I sit mid-day in Southern California, the sun is low and weak, not a great generator for vitamin D in winter. So in order to stay healthy through cold and flu season my family and I make sure to supplement with non-solar sources. Until … [Read more...] about How to Get Vitamin D in Winter
Carrot Ginger Soup: GAPS Friendly
This week I got a case of carrots as an add-on item with my farm box. This was not a small box. I filled three gallon bags with carrots to freeze for later, and still had about two gallons left. So, naturally I whipped up my favorite carrot and ginger soup for dinner. I typically steer clear of carrot and ginger soup in restaurants. The bright orange steamy promise is too often met by a disappointingly bland, thin soup that … [Read more...] about Carrot Ginger Soup: GAPS Friendly
My Four Favorite Ways To Eat Liver
When I was a kid I didn't like much in the way of real food. I mostly ate frozen pizza, chicken nuggets (nothing like these) and tater tots, Kraft mac n cheese, and well, you get the picture. As I became a 'grown-up' my palate matured, and I gradually found a liking for things like tomatoes, beets, and asparagus that didn't come out of a can. This evolution has continued, and this year I discovered my love for two … [Read more...] about My Four Favorite Ways To Eat Liver
Will Your Water Cause Early Puberty For Your Kids?
Is your family still drinking fluoride in your water? Well, perhaps this may help you see the light: Fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland more than any place in the body and may contribute to early onset of puberty. Researcher Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England found that the pineal gland is the primary target for fluoride accumulation in the body - even more so than bones. The pineal gland … [Read more...] about Will Your Water Cause Early Puberty For Your Kids?
