Here in our household, we\u2019ve started a new way of eating. It\u2019s based on research conducted by Weston A. Price, a dentist who examined the eating habits and health of primitive cultures, and the books we\u2019re using are Nourishing Traditions <\/i>and Eat Fat, Lose Fat. <\/i>I\u2019m not going to bore you with the details, I\u2019m just going to tell you how it\u2019s working out so far.<\/p>\n
The Ogre is thrilled, because his two favorite food groups, butter and meat, are in liberal abundance.<\/p>\n
The children are mutinous, because it means no more cookies, cakes, mac and cheese, or pizza.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tired. I\u2019ve spent the last few days in the kitchen, making broths and stocks and oil mixes, cleaning out our fridge and freezer and cabinets, and chopping loads and loads of vegetables. I feel really, really good about making nutritious food for my family, but not so good about missing out on internet and blogging nonsense for the last few days. I love nonsense. It makes me happy.<\/p>\n
Additionally, at this precise moment I\u2019m drinking a cup of herbal tea with a tablespoon of coconut oil in it. It\u2019s disgusting in every sense of the word, but apparently coconut oil is an appetite suppressant, plus it\u2019s extremely good for nursing mothers because it is excreted in milk and protects babies from viruses and colds. So I\u2019m choking down the oily tea, which sadly is not being helped by the large amount of honey I added. Now it\u2019s just really sweet and really oily.<\/p>\n
Hopefully in the next week I\u2019ll figure out how to maximize the nutritional benefits while minimizing the time spent in the kitchen so I can get back to the really important stuff in life\u2026blogging. Till then, please say a prayer for me as I try to convince my children to eat real food instead of orange powder-coated pasta.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
