The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama: Kombucha. I joined a Weston A. Price group in the very beginning of 2009 and all the stuff people were talking about was so confusing to me. Soaking grains? FCLO? Kombucha? I had no idea what any of these things even were, let alone why I would…
I have a confession. At the beginning of this year, I decided I was done with "real food." Just done. Done reading labels. Done feeling like I needed to make everything from scratch.

I love both still.…
The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama: Real food is awesome. I know most of you around here are no stranger to real food. It’s just so satisfying to eat something that you’ve cooked at home…at least most of the time. (Or am I the only one that occasionally has a ‘kitchen…
I'm over at the Plan to Eat blog sharing some summertime snack ideas this week: I don’t know about you, but as summer wears on, I’m finding us stuck in a summertime snack rut. I’ll admit that I like easy snacks, but I’ve been looking for healthier alternatives, since most of what you’ll find on…
