Good morning! You guys know how much I love Trader Joe’s, right? Of course , you do. I’m also a big fan of scoring deals and doing things efficiently, so when Remy from Miss Mamie’s Cupcakes reached out about sharing her “secrets” for saving time and money at Trader Joe’s, I was ALLLLL about it. I love stuff like this! So, without further ado, here’s Remy! I’ll be upfront with you: Trader Joe’s is a bit of an obsession of mine. The prices can’t be beat and it’s my go-to spot for a ton of kitchen (and bathroom) essentials. There are countless great deals and the store is always introducing new products to keep things fresh. Every Trader Joe’s is independently owned/operated and they treat their workers extremely well, which I love to support. However, most people, even the ones that have been shopping there for years, overlook some of the best things about this unique and refreshing supermarket. Today, I set out to shed some light on the best TJ’s tips and tricks! Trade...

Last week, Chris Kresser wrote a great article discussing the emerging—and likely causative—link between poor gut health and childhood misbehavior. He explained potential mechanisms for the association, as well as solutions to counter it. But as any parent knows, getting a picky child to adopt your arsenal of perfect gut-supporting foods and supplements isn’t always easy. Not every kid immersed in the righteous anger of the terrible twos will stop what he’s doing to drink sauerkraut juice, nibble on kimchi, take resistant starch, drink kefir and bone broth.. It’s certainly a major part of the problem and the solution, but are there any other dietary causes? What else can a parent try to stem the flood of tantrums? Ditch artificial food coloring. Artificial food coloring hijacks the visual system designed to spot ripe fruit. It’s partly why kids gravitate toward bright green, red, yellow, and orange junk food. These colors are attractive to us, in part, because for most of huma...

Nordic food is hot. It’s healthy too. A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition  found that a Nordic diet — rich in foods like whole grain rye, unsweetened yogurt, wild berries, root vegetables, herbs and fatty fish — can lower levels of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, and even lead to weight loss. While you may not make it to restauranteur Claus Meyer’s new Great Northern Food Hall in New York, the popular Minneapolis’ Fika Café or Broder Söder at the   Scandinavian Heritage Foundation in Portland, OR, you can certainly discover these delicious ways to enjoy the new Nordic diet. Canned or jarred fish Pickled herring anyone? While not typical lunch fare, a Swedish smorgasbord would be incomplete without it. In the Nordic Diet study, people ate two to three servings weekly of fish. And eating fish more often is as easy as opening a jar of pickled herring from IKEA stores or most supermarket deli sections. Herring are mild tasting fish that are often pickled i...

I feel like I packed a whole weekend into our Sunday! ^^Wild child. I woke up with this sting ray on me. I never know what’s coming next! Sunday morning I made pancakes. I’ve been out of flour and pancake mix for a while and keep forgetting to buy more, so I’ve just been making Anne’s banana egg pancakes , which are so easy to whip together (it’s also the best way for me to get eggs into Mazen). Question for Anne: why didn’t you name these Annecakes ?! I think I’m going to do that for you “Mommy can I help you put the dishes in the dishwasher?” I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK!! Soccer is starting up next week, so since the weather was so great on Sunday, I got together with a few players on my team for some pick-up. Mazen put on his shin guards and cleats to get some “training” in himself (his word, not mine!). His season starts up in about a month or so. We played around for about an hour and then I headed to Beer Run for lunch with Wendy and Jess. This was the wint...

Many of you know that I recently joined the throngs of humans who have purchased an Instant Pot (IP) pressure cooker. This IP and I have slowly been getting to know each other. I’ve done one recipe… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2lpPH8M
