Concerned about your health? Or the health of your children? I encourage you to
Listen to this podcast. It has great information on baby steps to ancestral cooking. She also talks about her struggle with infertility and nursing her son.

Top Ideas:
Raw Goat’s Milk
Fermentation:Oats and Sauerkraut are two easy ones to start with.
Liver: I have not yet dove into eating liver so I take liver capsules.
Bone Broth: Very easy to make but you can also get Beef and Chicken bone broth at United. It is expensive though. Great source of collagen.

I agree when she talks about starting with what you love. It is baby steps for sure. My love is baking bread so I have worked to remove store bought bread from my diet as well as my family. I particularly bake with einkorn, the most ancient grain that hasn’t been altered by man.

Happy cooking!
