Hi Kendahl,
I happened upon your blog or facebook page somehow and just learned from your comment about Coal Burger that you are local. We, my husband, 4 year old, 22 month old and one due in 7 weeks, have been on a real food transition for the last 4 years and I’m just discovering people in the area on the same journey.
I am the Co-coordinator for a MOPS group, mops.org, in Scottsdale. We are looking for a speaker to come to our group to speak on healthy cooking. We’d love some easy recipes, tips, shortcuts, etc. Most people are not anywhere near where we are (in fact, I haven’t begun the fermented veggies yet, but I tasted some yesterday!) in the healthy cooking and eating journey so being realistic to where people currently are is important. Would you be interested in coming to speak to our group? The date is January 23rd, our meeting time is 9:15 – 11:30, your speaking time would be about 10/10:15 – 11. We do have childcare available for your little ones provided by Lullaby Guild. You are welcome to call me, 480.227.2846, to talk further.
Thanks!

Oh wow, that would be awesome! I will contact you
Hello,
Just read about your 30 day GAPS challenge. It is now Jan. 20 and we are embarking on GAPS intro this evening. Can we still join? And what is this challenge, exactly? Thanks.
Andrea
Yes, please still join! You can see the original GAPS Challenge post here, and then the most recent one that goes into more detail here. There’s also a how to prepare post here, if that helps. Glad to have you aboard!
Hello!
I just found your blog and I’m so excited! I was looking for ways to use coconut flour and I found your yellow cake and chocolate butter cream frosting recipe. I can’t wait to make it! I wanted to ask if you have any tips you would give to a vegetarian looking for ways to transition into eating real food.
My boyfriend is a vegetarian, I am not. I am finding it difficult to replace his processed and frozen soy food with real protein. It should be known, it’s also hard because I dislike tofu with a passion, it’s a texture thing. Aside from adding non-canned beans to most things, (which we already use!) is there anything else you suggest?
A side note, I am beginning slowly into the transition of eating real food. I started with no longer buying products with artificial color. Now I am on to preservatives. I’ll be honest it is not as easy as I thought. The most difficult part is dealing with friends and family who dont understand my new life style choice. How do you approach this so people dont get offended?
Thanks for you help and inspiration!

Welcome! I am so glad you found me too
Yes, I have a few resources: I just wrote an e-book that is my collection of REAL FOOD 101 tutorials (color pictures, step by step), which I highly recommend. It will show you the basics and how to grow from there. Plus all of them are vegetarian! I also recommend getting a copy of Nourishing Traditions. I think it is very doable to real foodify a vegetarian diet, so keep going.
As for protein, I would look into natto, which is fermented soybeans that are very high in vitamin K2. My kids love it! And maybe start with fish and seafood, especially high vitamin butter oil blended with fermented cod liver oil. You can find that on my resource page here.
I also have a vegetarian tag for all my recipes, if that helps. You can see it in the tag cloud over on the right sidebar. And just start using real grass-fed butter, raw milk, and find some local eggs from someone that doesn’t feed their chickens soy and they roam around in the sun eating bugs. The yolks are dark, vitamin-rich, and amazingly good! And go slow! It can be overwhelming, so definitely take it step by step. Pick 2-3 things at a time and build off them. That’s how I got to where I am
Hi,
Love the blog and all the info! I’m diving head first into traditional foods. We already grow most of our own, have chickens, and I hardly ever buy things at the store I can make better at home. So I think we eat pretty healthy.
We are trying for a baby and I want to get a head start on traditional eating and healthy foods for my body and baby. Are there any super foods for pregnant mommas or wanna be pregnant mommas? I have yet to try codliver oil but want to. Is it safe while prego?
I took fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil when I was pregnant, and I think it was very good for mama and baby! I also tried to eat a lot of liver, as well as healthy fats like coconut oil, good quality butter, olive oil, and animal fats. And many fruits and veggies and (properly prepared) grains. And I slept a LOT! Take care of yourself
