Getting My Family to Eat Vegetables
| May 19, 2011 | Posted by admin under Food Philosophy, Those Kids, Vegetables |
I really do like vegetables. When I make them. And that’s my trick to getting my husband to eat them–prepare them well. Plenty of butter, coconut oil, or olive oil, and sea salt. Roasted in the oven or browned in the cast iron skillet, almost never boiled. This is how I got the man who…

Kids and Independence
| March 27, 2011 | Posted by admin under Those Kids, Uncategorized |
So I’m not so consistent on the whole kids and independence thing. As long as she’s warm enough, I couldn’t care less what my daughter wears. Notice the short-sleeved, ruffled, Sleeping Beauty T-Shirt underneath the expensive, petticoated dress from Spain? Like the tights that I cut because they were too small and I didn’t want…

I’m a big fan of lists. I love crossing things out so much that I sometimes write down what I’ve already done just so I can cross it out. I find many scenes in Great Expectations pretty funny, but the one I relate to is the one that describes how Pip deals with his ever-growing…
Super Probiotic Smoothie

It’s all about the color. At least at my house. I made a delicious smoothie with pineapple, yogurt, orange juice concentrate, coconut oil… and spinach. It was green and tasted great, but the baby and I were the only ones to find out. My daughter and husband wouldn’t even try it. A few days later,…

Is this a recipe? Um. Not sure. But follow three simple steps to fresh, crunchy, winter salad. I like to make a big batch at the beginning of the week. It stays good in the fridge–gets even better. Peel carrots or beets. Shred in food processor (or with shredder if you need a good…
Produce Based Menu Planning
| February 8, 2011 | Posted by admin under Menu Plan, Uncategorized |
I went grocery shopping last week at a regular grocery store. After a few staples, I went to the one aisle that has organic produce and just bought whatever looked good. Last week, that was salad mix, acorn squash, beets, avocados, and sweet potatoes. Sort of a random list, but it’s winter, I’d rather buy…
