Link to “Homemade Almond Milk”

by Rachel McFadden on February 7, 2010

So if you’ve never heard of “GreenLiteBites” you have to check it out. This is a blog I follow all about food. I found it after she was featured in a news article about her weight loss. To take from her about page the author, Roni, says, “GreenLiteBites is all about my adventures in cooking low fat, high fiber, whole foods for my family (and sometimes just me). I strive to limit sugar and avoid processed flours while including as many fruits and veggies as possible.”

Well I have to post this video in light of my recent posts about milk and food and alternatives for non-animal foods. Here Roni shows us how easy it is to make almond milk. Now that I’ve seen it I’m definitely going to give it a try!!!

I hope you’ll watch her video, but also check out her site. She has a lot of recipes that I can feel comfortable feeding my son! I know personally, I’m going to try this one ASAP!

Family Cloth

Iuse cloth wipes for my son for all of his diaper changes, so what about adults that want [...]

How far do I go? Struggling with food…

February 4, 2010

I have been struggling lately with food. I haven’t made any new changes to the way I eat, beyond recently becoming what some people term as a localvore. I say I struggle because I have been eating strictly vegetarian outside of my home, and I don’t know if that is far enough. I keep telling [...]

Human Pacifier

February 1, 2010

We have almost completely phased out my son’s pacifier. I say almost because my husband uses it as a crutch and it is for him more than it is for Connor. He complains that I have the “real thing” and it’s not fair that he has nothing to soothe him with. I [...]

The “Green Fight”

January 28, 2010

Last night as my husband and I were arguing over putting plastic tupperware in the microwave, I came across this article in my e-mail: “Can Green Disputes Kill a Couple?” I started reading out loud to him as he said, “yes, they can!”
The article was perfect timing and gave us a chance to laugh a [...]

A New Look at Food

January 25, 2010

I finally convinced my husband to sit down with me and watch “Food Inc.” We rent all of our movies on iTunes and since it was finally available I couldn’t wait to see it! I knew going into the movie what the gist was, but didn’t really know how much detail it would [...]
