In today's video, I'm answering this question from a reader: How do you handle situations where you know you will be eating at someone else's home... and the home you are eating at does not eat whole foods? I am trying to get my family on a more whole food/healthy food diet but when we are out at friends or relatives we are served "regular" food. What do you do when in these situations? For those who didn't watch the video, here is a quick [...]

The Nitty-Gritty on The Real Food I Buy and Where I Buy It
Today and tomorrow, I simply want to share where I buy what, the best prices I've found, and some of the excellent deals that help our family to be able to eat plenty of wholesome, real foods on a tight budget. This isn't a "how-to" post necessarily, because most of you don't live where I live or even eat all of the same things that we eat. Rather, I thought that by sharing some of the details of where and how I shop, it may [...]

Organization in the Real Food Kitchen: Making Room for Bulk Storage
When you think of storing bulk food, what comes to mind? Do you wonder where you will ever keep it? Do you dismiss the idea because your kitchen storage is already on the small side? Do you envision hefty, 25 lbs bags of grains sitting in your dining room, with no where else to go? Most homes these days aren't exactly set up for storing food in bulk. I long for the days when every home had some sort of a root cellar or storage [...]

Almost-Christmas Ramblings
Just a few thoughts as I prepare to take a little time for celebration, relaxation and meditation this next week: 1) The picture you see above is Johanna's birth announcement. It may make some of you feel oddly comforted to know that I picked them up last week. Yes, she's 4 months old. I figured it was high time we let people know we had a baby! Just kidding.
