Weight Today: 115lbs


Welcome to my menus blog...

For a while now I have been wanting to create a menus blog. I love reading these myself (for meal ideas and just because they fascinate me)!

I have lost 25 pounds following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. I have five more pounds to lose.

I feed a family of four daily on mostly organic and local food. Local farm REAL food is what I am passionate about. I married a farm boy and hopefully will be able to run my own some day.

I eat CSA (community supported agriculture) and garden food in season. So you will see that I do eat carrots and will grow potatoes for my kids. I also do get beets in my CSA share and will make beet kvass out of them.

I am experimenting in fermenting and culturing food. Some is good and some gets tossed but it is all done for good digestive health.

I will post my weight, daily menus, drinks, exercise and general thoughts.
