Thanks for hosting. My post this week counters the fear induced by the latest scare tactic study against red meat.

Don’t fear real food, but enjoy mouthwatering, real food prepared the traditional, healthy way like Weston A. Price teaches!

Cool! I thought my husband and I the only ones to try a cocktail with beet kvass! We “invented” the “Beetarita,” basically a margarita using kvass as part of the lime juice. It was super and look gorgeous in the margarita glass! Cheers!

Awesome! We’ll have to try that. Lacto-fermented brines are so good in mixed drinks. I had a pickle juice margarita once, it was nice.

Heba @ My Life in a Pyramid March 19, 2012 at 11:52 am

Thanks for hosting! I’ve shared a few different posts with your readers today. The first is a recipe for vegan curried cauliflower coconut soup – super easy to make, and very filling too. I’m not a vegan, but I try to fast from animal products for Lent as is customary in the Orthodox Christian tradition (I’m not very strict about it though). In the same post, I discuss a few of the fats that are important to add to the diet if eating vegan for any stretch of time, though I personally don’t feel that a long-term vegan lifestyle is sustainable or ideal …

I’ve also shared a recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Falafel with Cilantro, Spinach & Parsley (Vegan & Gluten-free) from the other blog I co-author, midEATS. Very easy way to sneak in some veggies!

Finally, I’ve shared my first giveaway post from My Life in a Pyramid. You can enter to win a $25 Miessence voucher for certified organic personal care items or a 30-min consultation with sustainable personal care coach Lacey Swartz (your choice). That post also includes some info about how to choose personal care products, and why choosing carefully is important for health. Please enter and share! Thanks!

Take care,
Heba

Oh my goodness, this is so exciting! I think I’m as excited about Monday Mania as I am the return of DWTS! Sarah, thank you for all the time and effort you’ve put into your blog. Since having my first son 2.5 years ago I’ve really been digging in on nutrition and trying to raise him the very best possible way. I found the WPF baby formula recipe when I had huge nursing problems and low milk supply (thanks to bad info at the hospital) but I was so overwhelmed with being a new mother and pumping breast milk 10 times a day that figuring out the recipe to supplement seemed beyond me. I did the best I could to “doctor” some goat milk with expeller pressed oils and we made it! Phew! I can only imagine how your videos will help mothers who may be in the situation I was in or adoptive parents. Really great info and you make it all look so easy! Thanks again, you are helping to change the health of our family!
