Nourishing food is important.
It is so important that it is one (of many) reasons Granola Mom 4 God exists.
Nourishing food has made a radical impact on our family’s life.
I used to be very SAD when I ate.
Meaning, I used to eat the Standard American Diet.
- white flour
- white sugar
- white rice
- diet coke
- microwave dinners
- foods with a shelf life exceeding what seems reasonable
- fast food
- synthetic vitamins
- tap water
- foods laced with hormones and antibiotics
- corn syrup
SAD is cheap. But what I saved in the grocery story, I ended up spending at the doctor’s office.
I realized that my SAD diet was seriously affecting me when my doctor considered ordering a prescription for me to manage my PCOS.
We wanted kids. Not drugs.
And the swiss cheese that my female insides looked like . . . simply didn’t want to work towards the goal of adding people to our dining room table.
So . . . I ditched the SAD diet.
Enter whole foods (prayer, exercise, and an herbalist).
Meet my family.
“They” say that you should start eating for a baby about a year before you want to conceive. Take your prenatal vitamins. Even dad should be consuming healthy foods . . . avoiding chemicals.
And hot tubs {ahem}.
So let me give you a gift . . .
a gift of well being . . . of healing . . . of nourishment . . .
whether you are thinking about getting pregnant, are pregnant, nursing, or feeding an infant --
You. Need. My. Gift.
(Thanks to Jenny over at The Nourished Kitchen.)
Probably the most important gift I could give you out of my virtual baby gift basket.
Amber necklaces are good.
Bacteria is great.
Slings – oh so snuggly.
Food that causes families to linger at the table. Meals that cause the fork to recline in the hand and words to sprinkle like salt into the air over the dining room table. . . .
Real food is a gift. I enjoy giving this gift. It is ever so much fun to delight our guests with a visually appealing and hearty meal (usually from Simple Dinners).
A meal full of flavor. Spices that cause our guest to reminisce about a sight or smell it evokes as it slides over their tongue.
What is my gift (rather Jenny’s gift for the online baby shower)?
a tuition-free enrollment to the online cooking class,
How to Cook Real Food (hello . . . a $199 value!)
