Q & A: Healthy freezer meals requested!

January 7, 2008     Keeper of the Home

Amazing Greek Salad Recipe

Amazing Greek Salad Recipe

January 6, 2008     Keeper of the Home

This is the ultimate Greek salad that I could practically live on (especially while pregnant). I made this recipe because I disliked Greek salads in restaurants that had such big chunks of veggies that you could never fit more than one piece in your mouth at a time. I love all the flavors mixed together! …

Raising healthy eaters- What eating healthy is and isn’t

January 2, 2008     Keeper of the Home

When I teach nutrition, there are 3 simple guidelines that encompass my basic nutritionally theory. Although I wish I had created them myself, I didn’t. They have been taught to me over the years through various writers and speakers that I respect, but most specifically through the book What the Bible Says About Healthy Living …

Raising healthy eaters- Laying a strong foundation

December 16, 2007     Keeper of the Home

In order to approach this topic properly, I felt as though we needed to back up a bit from the how and begin with a bit of the why. We all know that we should feed our children well and teach them how to eat in a way that will keep them healthy. But we …

Book Review: The 100 Mile Diet (first installment)

Book Review: The 100 Mile Diet (at last!)

December 15, 2007     Keeper of the Home

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating, and actually stayed up late a couple of nights to keep reading. It’s a topic that fascinates my nutritionally minded, health-nut brain, and inspires me to re-evaluate much of what I am buying. I did not agree with everything in the …

Smoothie of the Morning- Carob Delight

December 11, 2007     Keeper of the Home

This is one of our favorite evening treat smoothies, but occasionally we use it as a morning smoothie, just because it’s so yummy! It’s very creamy, and tastes like a carob milkshake. If you’ve never tried (or heard of) carob, it is the pod of a tree, that has a sweet, somewhat chocolaty flavor to …

When I talk about nutrition with other moms, one of the most common issues that comes up is how they can get their kids to eat better. Maybe you have the same questions:; "How do I get my child to eat more vegetables?" "How do I deal with a picky eater?" "When and what should …

Menu Plan Monday- Dec.10

December 10, 2007     Keeper of the Home

I’m feeling uninspired this week. Perhaps it’s that I’m doing this at 12:40am, or that I know my kitchen counters are full of dirty dishes. Whatever the reason, sometimes meal planning is just hard work. I suppose that what makes it hard at times is that I don’t want to just be conventional in my …

We’re buying into a cow share!

November 29, 2007     Keeper of the Home

No, this isn’t some warped version of a vacation time share! But to this nutritionally minded gal, it almost ranks up there with a holiday (well, maybe… Greece or cow share? Hmmm, I’ll get back to you on that…) Here’s the deal: We are going to pay into owning a percentage of a small herd …

Baking with Honey

Gleaning is a wonderful way to get things for free! And last week a friend introduced me to a place just brimming with organic apples, free for the picking. It’s in a large public park in our city, out in the country a bit. In a far off corner, she discovered that there was a …
