Guest-Posting at From Heart to Table: My Journey to Healthier Eating

I was delighted to guest-post at Magdalen's blog, From Heart to Table, yesterday!  I shared my story of learning to cook and eat more healthfully.

From the post:

My journey to healthier eating only started recently.  I've been married for a little over a year and a half, and my husband and I are still in college (read: limited grocery budget).  I was already pretty good at making healthful, delicious food just a few months into our marriage.  My mother loves to cook, and she taught me a lot as I was growing up.  When it became my job to feed my husband and me, I spent time looking through cookbooks for ideas and recipes.  I also experimented in the kitchen, coming up with new dishes.

It was actually through blogging that I came to be more interested in learning about cooking more naturally and healthfully.  I read many blog posts that talked about using only whole grains, finding replacements for processed white sugar, looking for sources for raw milk and farm-fresh produce, and fermenting grains, dairy and other foods for the taste and especially the health benefits.

I found that many of these women cooked in a way similar to the way I do--simply, without many of processed items, and mostly from scratch.  But I thought I could learn to do better.  Thanks to women like Shaye at The Elliot Homestead and Elsie at Back to the Source, I had my inspiration, I had ideas, and I had recipes and procedures to start making more things myself and eating better food.
