CHEESESLAVE

We were shopping at Trader Joe’s the other day; it was almost dinnertime and I think Kate was getting hungry. She grabbed a stick of Kerry Gold butter out of the cart and started eating it. It kept her happy, so I let her have as much as she wanted.
The other shoppers gave me funny [...]

Yes, cheeseburgers are healthy!
This is a burger made with grass-fed beef (from Organic Pastures in California), with raw milk cheese (from the Amish in PA), organic fruit-sweetened ketchup and organic mustard, and homemade lacto-fermented pickles. I cooked the burger in a little duck fat.
No bun. Kate doesn’t eat grains yet. I’m not going to give [...]

Whenever I get a duck from the farmer’s market (usually every other week), I roast the duck for Seth and me and give Kate the organ meat.

Kate’s dinner: Leftover baked beans mixed with some organic grass-fed beef and beef liver.
I modifed the Nourishing Traditions baked beans recipe. I soaked the beans for 48 hours (just because I was busy and didn’t have time to make them sooner). I used chicken fat instead of butter and olive oil — just because that’s [...]

Since then, I’ve stopped giving her raw berries and other fruits with [...]

It’s funny — when you’re single, sitting at home on a Saturday night is the worst thing you can imagine. And then you become a mom. And you’re always doing doing doing for everyone else. And the idea of having some time to yourself is so fabulous, you don’t care what night it is.
Seth announced [...]
