Reminder: Food Roots Begins Tomorrow

I just wanted to remind everyone that Food Roots begins tomorrow.

Where are your food dollars going? Do you know where your food comes from? Are you gardening, foraging in the wild, buying from the farmer’s market, getting a CSA share? I would love to see what it is you are doing to eat more locally, seasonally and sustainably.

You can create a blog post and link to it or share your week’s efforts in the comments.I will share a post of my own as well as a Food Roots post with more information and a way for you to share your links or thoughts.

I hope to see you back here tomorrow!

Liver: THE Superfood

Of all of the steps we have taken towards a nourishing diet, eating organ meats has been the hardest. So hard, in fact, that we don’t really eat them at all.

Homemade Lemon-Peppermint Toothpaste

The less I have to buy at the grocery store, the better, right? So we have started with food – growing our own vegetables, buying what we can’t grow from local farmers, and trying to be mindful of where our money goes. It’s not like we don’t need the grocery store, because right now we…
