I haven’t heard of this book before. It sounds good. I’ve been forced into abandoning almost all convenience foods because of the health needs of my children. I’ve been learning a lot about cooking, but it takes a lot of time to cook everything from scratch. I can use all the help I can get.

Also, I commented at Kitchen Stewardship.

I have been on this real food journey for about three years now. My progress is very slow. We have switched to butter/coconut oil and olive oil for our fats. We also eat whole wheat and whole grain breads. Eggs and oatmeal are our staple breakfast around here. For awile we were drinking raw milk, but the expense got to be too much after DH lost his job earlier this year. Now we are learning to make our own fermented dairy products. Yogurt, cream cheese, kefir.. to make up for the lack of raw milk. Not the greatest choice but we do what we can.
Im loving checking our your blog. I came over here from Kitchen Stewardship. I am trying to make some more changes in our home and reading everything I can.

The more I learn about Real Food, the more I realize I’ve misjudged a lot of “unhealthy” foods and left our a lot of great ones! I still have mental blocks up on some things that I know God provided to nourish us. I’ve come a long way and have a long way to go!

I left a comment at Kitchen Stewardship complaining that I’m going to have all these blogs to read now .

On a side note, while in the midst of leaving this comment, my mom called and asked if I want to got to Lancaster on Saturday. I might have to check and see if I can find Wholesome Sugarfree Cooking.

I’ve always been into learning about nutrition, but I’ve also sadly struggled with food addiction. I am now very overweight and really don’t feel healthy and I’m only 28. I have two kids and I want to not only be able to keep up with them now, I want to live a long and healthy life and see my grandkids. I’ve been learning about real food through Katie’s blog and I also bought Nourishing Traditions. It was overwhelming at first, but I’m slowly trying to incorporate real food into our diets. Things like cheese, butter and dairy…no problem! But we love breads (have always eaten mostly whole wheat though) and we love chocolate (milk chocolate sadly). I also don’t have much experience cooking with meat besides chicken. When we save up enough money, we are going to join a local food buying club that gets almost all their food locally and sustainably grown. I would love to try this cookbook. Lancaster County is not too far from me and we visit often.

I’ve been into the whole foods movement for several years now (unfortunately, off and on). My doctor now has both my daughter and I off dairy (the way we know it), so I’m getting my first cowshare here in Kentucky for Raw Milk. We were introduced to Raw milk when we lived in California, where you could buy it at the store, but we thought our friends were a bit ‘kooky!’ I since changed my mind, and have believed what I have read, but financially it did not seem possible. I’ve found a farm locally, that some of our friends use, and we are going forward with it. I cut my grocery budget in half about 3 months ago, out of necessity- there were no other budget categories to take from (hubby is a pastor!). I’m still not sure how it will work, but I’m on the web alot lately, looking for recipes/encouragement/help. Also, my doctor has me eating low-carb right now (the NT way). So, it’s gonna be interesting until I can figure out how to eat this way on our new budget, but I’m so encouraged by blogs like this! Thank you! (I found you through the Kitchen Stewardship blog). God bless.

Healthy, real food has always been a priorty for me to serve to my family. I try to avoid packaged food. My challenge is that my sweet hubby loves the junk, and also likes to “treat” our kids. But I cook from scratch, and as healthy as possible. I am always seeking to learn more about improving our health and our diet. Blessings!

I’m trying to get us in the habit of eating more whole foods, but it isn’t easy! Making changes in the way one cooks, takes a lot of time to re-order thought processes. The thing that frustrates me the most is that I can’t get raw milk. In this state (Indiana) it is illegal to “buy, sell, barter, or trade for any particle of raw milk.” It’s ridiculous. Let me make my own health decisions, thanks so very much! If I could find someone with milking animals a reasonable distance from my house, I could lease a share of an animal. But the only person I know who has an animal she milks (goats, in this case) lives over an hour away. Too far to drive on a regular basis. So that’s where I’m at with the “real” food thing. Working on it.
