Hi, Sarah!
Thanks for hosting!

Hi Sarah,
This week I finally got back to a series I started a while ago called Empowering Kids on Special Diets. In parts one and two we talked about why kids might need a special diet and how to get them on board. Part three is all about how to make it happen!

Instead of a recipe I shared a book review. While it is intended for the Paleo crowd it easily crosses over to real food and GAPS eating.
Jimmy and the Carrot Rocket Ship is a children’s book intended to help kids understand and embrace the transition their family is making to eating different foods. My kids loved it and have read it several times. I hope yours will too.

I am new to blogging, but yesterday I posted a review of the documentary, “The World According to Monsanto,” and a commentary on the dangers of GMOs. I think GMOs are a threat to anyone who wants to retain the freedom to eat real food. Thanks very much to Sarah for hosting a festival of links:-)

I was so excited to be a part of your Carnival that I accidentally posted on last week’s. Oops. Sorry! I posted a link about making mayonnaise: http://kathleen.peterro.com/2012/02/easy-peasy-lemon-squeazy-mayo/, but called it EASY Mayonnaise Made Lightening Quick. Thanks so much for allowing me join you all.
This is our first meal with our fresh side of local grassfed beef–sooo tender and delicious. Most of the ingredients are local and fresh. I plan to continue with more in the series of What’s for dinner? Thanks for hosting the links.

I am sharing my 2nd recipe for a GAPS/Paleo baked custard that we love! It is a tiny bit different and simpler than one I have shared before. This is such a great treat and a great way to get coconut into your diet (especially if you don’t like coconut taste, because you can’t taste it at all!). Thanks for hosting!

Happy Monday,
This week I am sharing a recipe I made before I started participating in blog hops: Baked veggie spring rolls. Super fun and healthy take on the deep fried original version. Gluten free, dairy free, cane-sugar free.
Have a great week.
Be Well,
–Amber

What a great way to share real food love…thanks for the opportunity!
My latest post was inspired by the recent GAPS myths discussion on Cheeseslave. ENjoy!
Thanks for hosting! I’ve shared my cream of broccoli soup recipe. Yummy and makes use of all the scraps – broccoli stalks, bones (if you’re using bone broth), other veggies like carrots that you have in the fridge. http://mylifeinapyramid.com/2012/02/good-for-you-cream-of-broccoli-soup-dont-throw-away-the-broccoli-stalks/

This week, I had shiso leaves to find a use for, so I fermented them! This dish reminds me of the year I spent in South Korea, and all the traditional ferments that are part of the diet there.
Thanks for hosting!
