These days, it seems like nearly everyone is struggling to make ends meat. If you want to eat healthy, that often means paying more at the grocery store. I won’t even tell you what my grocery bill is for the month to feed my family with 4 kids, but it’s more than my mortgage. Couponing helps and […]
I haven’t updated my shopping lists for a while, and there have been a lot of new foods added to the market since then, so I thought I’d list a few of our favorites as of late. Seems like it changes every few months with my kids. Some of these aren’t listed in Feingold’s shopping guide, […]
I get asked a lot of questions about the Feingold Diet so I thought I’d start posting some common questions about Feingold and how we have dealt with the situations. Feel free to send me your questions, and as I have time, I’ll post them so that everyone can learn from them. Question: We just recently went out […]

I could have labeled this post “How to Prevent Autism” because I do believe a woman can greatly reduce her chances of having a child with autism by taking care of herself before and during pregnancy. But, in striving for an all natural pregancy, you can reduce a whole host of other issues as well. […]
GFCF Macaroni and Cheese This is a “recipe” I made up using the new Daiya cheese. You can adjust the amounts to taste, but I wanted to have some kind of measurements. I make this in the morning for my daughter and then put it in her thermos for lunch. When I do that, I […]
All Natural Mom of 3 becomes All Natural Mom of 4! Brooklyn Grace was born safely at home on my due date, September 14th, 2010, at 5:08am. Yes, I was up all night. Not a quickie like I had hoped for. 14 hours of labor, 13 of those being with very mild contractions, and about 2 […]
