How to Choose an Organic Mattress (+ My Top Mattress Reviews)

July 12, 2018 by Katie Wells

I’ve often read the statistic that we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping (or over 2,500 hours per year) but I have to laugh because those hours are obviously not during the time of life with new babies or potty-training toddlers. Of course, those statistics are meant to highlight the importance of sleep environment since such a …

Blender Reviews: Blendtec vs. Vitamix (& Others)

January 22, 2018 by Katie Wells

Over the years, we’ve used a lot of different blenders and I’ve written several blender reviews. Cooking from scratch three times a day for eight people gives me a LOT of time to test out blenders while making sauces, smoothies and more. My favorite blender has changed a few times over the years so I …

February 28, 2014 by Katie Wells

I’ve gotten emails asking if I know of any pre-made food services (like the pre-made diet programs that you often see on TV) that are actually healthy and easy to order. Until recently, I didn’t know of any and I always suggested finding a local service or chef who could prepare foods in advance. A …

Xtrema Ceramcor Cookware Review

November 9, 2013 by Katie Wells

It is getting tougher to find good cookware options. It seems like many of the nonstick or easy clean options contain harmful chemicals or heavy metals, while the natural options lead to sticking and are hard to clean.

Paleo Cookbooks Review

September 20, 2013 by Katie Wells

I taught myself to speed-read in middle school, and to this day, it is probably the most valuable skill I’ve ever learned. One of the really fun perks of blogging is that authors occasionally send books for review. This month, I’ve received several great paleo cookbooks (and several others I decided not to review), but the speed …

At our house, we rarely eat grains (with the exception of rice on rare occasion) since we have one son still on GAPS and it is just easier to avoid grains (plus we feel better). Even though I have a lot of my own original recipes, it is always fun to find a cookbook that …

One of the most popular recipes I’ve created from scratch is my homemade Italian pasta sauce recipe.

Beyond Bacon Book Review

June 21, 2013 by Katie Wells

I must admit, I was skeptical when I first heard about “Beyond Bacon.” Certainly, we have many favorite recipes that involve pork at our house, but an entire cookbook devoted to pork?
