A few days ago an overwhelmed new mom reached out to me looking for advice.

One of the accounts she follows on Instagram was talking about the dangers of eating seed oils. 

Until having a baby, she never questioned the food she's been eating.

But she was so bothered by what she was hearing so she started doing her own research.

Like so many people who start digging into the food system, she felt helpless and overwhelmed.

She quickly realized seed oils are in just about everything we eat.

And that's a problem.

She was angry big companies don't care they are harming people with their products and they're just out to make money.

I totally agree but when we know better, we do better!

I shared my real food journey with her (which is much like hers) and gave her the alternatives we use:

  • Grass-fed Butter
  • Pastured Lard
  • Coconut Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Avocado Oil

I told her to get comfortable reading labels and start cooking with these alternatives instead.

Since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I wanted to share my favorite Homemade Pie Crust recipe.

It's seed oil free and it's so delicious.

No guilt for this girl eating pie at Thanksgiving!

Here it is:

My Favorite Quick & Delicious Lasagna Recipe

Does it ever seem impossible to chase after your kids AND get real food on the table? I have to admit, I'm feeling it hard these last few weeks. Basketball keeps us running 4-5 nights a week. We love watching them play but it also makes for very busy weeknights. Even though we're busy, I'm not willing to sacrifice feeding them real, wholesome food. Instead, I plan meals that are easy and practical for our busy schedule.

Sick Kids? Try This Tasty, Easy Way to Boost Healthy Gut Bacteria

When I was a kid, I was on antibiotics constantly for strep throat or ear infections. Then as a teen/young adult I took antibiotics daily for years to treat acne. Certainly not something I'm proud of and definitely not something I'll be doing with my kids, but that's my reality and it's been a big part of my healing journey. Now that I see health in a different light, navigating the crunchy mom arena can sometimes be hard. I understand we get sick and antibiotics are sometimes necessary. So what would I do if my family needed antibiotics?

We did it... we survived the holidays! 🥳 I love Christmas, but let's be honest, it can be little stressful, too. All the shopping, present wrapping, cooking, special Christmas morning breakfasts, extra laundry, fighting kids, cookie baking, cleaning, stomach flu ​🤢, traveling, and late nights. It's a lot.
