Welcome to the first “printing” of my new cookbook!
first of all want to welcome youto my first o
ffi
cial cookbook.While in pdf format, I’m still very excited I get to share this with you. The inspiration for thiscookbookcame from a  growth spurtmy eldestson had. I just knew therehad to be other people out there who wanted healthy/hearty meals a ndsnacks just as much as we did. I didnot however want to sacrifice taste. Ihave contacted several family membersand friends to contribute recipes tothis cause. It is my hope that whilethis is the first copy, I’ll have many revisions in the future when new andscrumptious recipes come to ourhome.
My views on health.
Everyone hastheir own view of what true health is.I have found there will always beextremists. I too tried to be anextremist, however the financial costand the well being of my marriage gotme out of that rut quicker than Irealized it would. My goal now is toeat as many foods as possible in theirnatural state. If my family wants a treat, I try to make it homemade withas few refined ingredients as possible.I did however try to keep the focus of this cookbook away from refined foods which means it is my goal for you tonot be able to find a recipe that hasrefined sugar or cream of soup in it. Asfunny as it may seem, those twoingredients are found in so many of therecipes you find today in many homes.I have also tried to keep things assimple as possible while providing you with little tips I’ve learned along the way. I have truly learned to take advicefrom people who have been there,tried that. It saves me a lot of timeand heartache.I hope you find the recipes here

in tobe as great in taste as what our family does.Here’s to a new year and a healthier you!

My wonderful husband and myself just after he had finished up bike camp for the year. I wasso very excited to have him back in my arms after about a week of him being gone and myselfalone with the kids.
The Dirty Dozen List- you have to checkthis out if you haven’t seen it before.Local Harvest- Find local produce.Eat Wild-Find local meats and dairy products.
Eating Local and Organic
I am astounded at the organic/healthy products that have come to market sinceI wasa little girl. I remember my great aunt eating and serving “health food” and to be honest, it did not taste all that wonderful. We now have so many options available andmore budget friendly than they used to be.Can I recommend that you always eat organic and local foods? If you can fit it intoyour budget and you have not made this an idol in your life; that’s great! However, forthe average american family, this is just not feasible on the budget. I would encourageyou to try to purchase organics that are on the dirty dozen list (to your left). I wouldalso encourage you to grow your own produce and purchase locally when possible. Ifyou cannot purchase local produce, make sure to at least use a veggie wash. Thereare so many co-ops and other ways to save money. You’d be surprised. Please feelfree to contact me for more ways on saving money on this journey of your life.mandikaake@gmail.com
