I’ve been meaning to write this post for quite a while, haven’t I? Well, it’s a doozy … so I’ve decided to make it a two-part post. This here is the story of how I got in the mess I was in, and my first steps out of it. In [...]
I received a preview copy of Against the Grain: Delicious Recipes for a Whole Food and Grain-Free Diet from Kate at Modern Alternative Mama as part of an offer to do a review and giveaway of the e-book to my readers. This is exciting, because I’ve never done [...]
