If you have spent time perusing my blog, you will probably find that I have a love of learning, especially in those things that benefit our health, freedoms, and family life.
As of late, I have noticed benefits in returning to some old ways. You know, cooking from scratch more, Knowing what is in the food you feed your family. I have to chuckle, because that liver and onions my mom used to make, is probably loaded with good benefits.
My mom grew up on a family farm, and knew a lot about cooking, and food. She would mill her own wheat, freeze hand-picked corn, make homemade jellies, and the like. I used to feel guilty about the butter, and homemade hot cocoa made from whole, raw milk.
Now I wish I could go back and observe all the little details of my mother’s, and grandmother’s cooking. With discussion of nutrient dense foods, I find a lot of them sound like what I used to find on my dinner table growing up.
Vegetables from a family garden, bulk higher quality grains, and meats that source from the nutrient rich parts of the animal. Less processed foods, and making choices of grocery items that have short, recognizable ingredient lists.
What I would give, to go back and observe first hand, and learn little tips from their ways. How I appreciate all the little details that I can remember. We have a lot of fun as siblings when we reminisce, and try to recall as much as we can.
