I really like Susan Godfrey's blog, Simply Susan. She has such great information on natural living, vegetable gardening, and MORE! Susan has recently published several eBooks, and I'll be reviewing one each month. Here's the first one! I've seen so many posts recently about the book Nourishing Traditions, a book that I have owned for about four years but never used! I found myself intimidated by the changes I would have to make to incorporate all of that great information into our lifestyle. So the book has sat on my shelf unused. I recently pulled it out again to review the information, and then I received Susan's eBook Nourishing Ways, and I am excited again about trying out this method of cooking and offering nutritious meals to my family!
The first 20 pages of Nourishing Ways explain how to provide the BEST food for your family. Some of the topics covered include healthy meats, organic produce, soaked grains, and lacto-fermented foods. This 88-page eBook contains recipes that I believe your family will enjoy: Bread Recipes, Main Dishes, Side Dish Recipes and Beginnings and Endings Recipes. Susan has posted several examples of recipes on her blog: Creamy Taco Casserole and Crustless Pumpkin Pie and Friendly Shepherd's Pie. After the recipes, the eBook has three Appendices on Healthiest Choices for Recipe Ingredients, Sources for organic foods and information on this type of eating/cooking, and a small list of Recommended Reading.
My husband gifted me with a set of Sue Gregg cookbooks last year, and many of the recipes require the soaking of grains. After reading Susan's Nourishing Ways and seeing how easy some of the grain-soaking recipes look, I am excited to try them so that I can finally try the cookbooks by Sue Gregg too. If you are interested in the book Nourishing Traditions but want to try a smaller "sample" version of that book, I highly recommend purchasing Susan's eBook Nourishing Ways. It will give you enough information to get started and to see if this type of cooking and eating is something that you want to pursue further. I'll be making a batch of her Pumpkin Waffles this week . . . they sound delish!
