I've heard a lot of "reasons" why people delay or decide not to jump in with sourdough. They strike me less as reasons ... and more like false information... or excuses that are really hiding something else. Like fear of failure, lack of confidence, fear our family won't like it, etc. So I thought I'd share some of the "reasons" people give for not getting going with sourdough... along with my 2 cents. If you or anyone you know might like my easy instructions for starting a sourdough starter, click the link below and I'll get you going in 5 minutes a day for 5 days... using ingredients you already have... even if you've failed before... and without babying it, worrying about it, or being a slave to it.

Very important to soak your beans! They're so much more nutritious and digestible than getting them from a can or cooking them other ways. In this video, I'm starting to soak pinto beans. I love them. They're so pretty and speckled and they taste so great. A little bit meaty. I love how satisfying they are! Soaking is very important because... it will shorten your cook time... but it's really important for your digestive system. There are complex sugars in beans that are really hard to digest and give a lot of people gas. Yet the simple step of soaking — and draining away that soaking water — takes those complex sugars out of the beans and gives your digestive system a break. So you get that healthy fiber, which is very important for detox and elimination, but without stressing out your digestive system. Would you like to learn more about soaking your beans? I share more in my free Eat God's Way 2-book set. Go here to download: https://traditionalcookingschool.com/ksn7 P.S. What is Eat God's Way? It's our simple and methodical process to help you and your family get healthier and happier... save money and time... without giving up your favorite foods... And our Eat God's Way book shares more about these Bible Times cooking methods that make your dishes more nutritious and digestible, and the companion cookbook gives you a select set of recipes so you can try out the easy methods to see what you think! BTW Eat God's Way is not a fad diet or a set of rules. We eat this way to say "Thank you, Lord." To give Him glory and honor His creation by embracing the foods He designed for our nourishment. 🙏🏻 I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the results of your beans, so be sure to share. God bless you! Enjoy! 🥰

Be wary of hard and fast rules... Remember... how hard people are trying. How imperfect life is. How much nuance there is in life. It’s hard to be perfect. It’s so impossible we would starve long before we ever attained it. Which we couldn’t anyway. Plus, why would we want to be perfect? On the surface, yes, ok, I do want to be perfect. But deep down, I have to admit perfection is boring, not stimulating, and there’s no growth or journey to experience. No people to relate to. Nothing to work on. And finally, it’s that thing called circumstances. What’s “right” for me isn’t “right” for you and vice versa. When you run into someone who’s dogmatic and preachy, you just have to let this stuff roll on by you. It’s hard sometimes, I know. It can make you feel less than and like you’re failing. Don’t let anyone make you feel that way. If you’re trying, you’re not failing. You’re in process. And (preaching to the choir here), you also have to try not to fall into the preachy trap yourself. None of us should be going around telling people what to do or how to live their lives. Encouraging, sharing, leading by example… yes. Judging, pushing, shaming… no. The irony here is that I am a proponent of a healthy diet we call Eat God’s Way. Additionally, I do think it’s right for everyone. :) However, unlike modern fad diets, Eat God’s Way is more about the way you prepare the foods that work best for you or the foods you believe are best for you… so they’re more nutritious and digestible. It’s less about the actual foods and more about increasing nutrition and digestibility of those foods. Rules… no. Guidelines… yes. Ability to make it your own… yes. Freedom… absolutely. Healing… praise the Lord! If you would like to learn more about cooking this way, it's in my free Eat God's Way book. Plus I give you simple and easy sample recipes in the companion cookbook. Both books are FREE. To get the free Eat God's Way books, go here to download: https://traditionalcookingschool.com/ijjs BTW Eat God's Way is NOT rule-based.

Kitchen accidents! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂 I just had to laugh at myself when I sprayed frozen white corn all over the place (while doing a live workshop this morning). At least now everyone knows we're all in the same boat. The human one! 🤗 No matter how hard we try, we can't foresee everything. We can't do everything perfectly. We just do our best. 🤔 Hmmm... this sounds a lot like Eat God's Way. We do the best we can with what God's shown us and given to us. Knowing that we can't be perfect. Perfection is so impossible we would starve long before ever attained it (not that we could). If we make mistakes, which we WILL do, no doubt about it... we must laugh and give thanks, dust ourselves off, and move along. Because the next breath we take brings an opportunity to try again.

Just a little Monday baking! Truthfully, I didn't sleep that great last night. But I'll tell you what always cheers me up! Baking something yummy. Today's blueberry oat cake didn't disappoint. 😋 It's easy and sooo delicious, and turns out perfectly every time. That's one of the things I love about Eat God's Way. No, not that it turns out perfectly every time (it doesn't). 😉 It's that we use a handful of inexpensive whole foods and follow simple recipes. We're not dirtying a mountain of dishes or following a hundred little steps. Which makes it that much easier to get healthy, delicious, satisfying desserts, snacks, breakfasts, and main dishes on the table fast. Without breaking the bank... and flexible around your dietary needs and preferences. This cake is allergen-free, if you can believe it! Would you like to try out any of our Eat God's Way recipes?

Did you know that macadamia nuts are a special, special nut? Yes! 🙌🏻 They're a good source of vitamin B1... so that's good for energy. 🙏🏻 Food is medicine, as they say! I also love macadamia nuts because they are NOT high in copper like many other nuts and seeds. Why not copper? Well, many of us here are women and we've eaten a lot of chocolate in our lives... which has probably messed with our hormones quite a bit. (Topic for another day!) So even though macadamia nuts are more expensive, they're just a really good nut all around. I use them quite a bit in my baking, for homemade nut milk, and as a snack! I am so thankful God gave us delicious and nutritious whole foods... and these whole foods are the foundation of Eat God's Way. Eat God's Way recipes and methods use high-quality, simple whole foods (like macadamia nuts!) along with cooking methods from Bible Times that save you money and time, while providing nutritious, digestible, and delicious meals and snacks for your family.

After getting off chocolate, I started enjoying carob like I never had before. I used to hate it... now I really, really enjoy it. Why switch? One of the big issues we have as women: we have self-medicated with chocolate. I certainly have! I ate a ton of chocolate. I was addicted to the caffeine boost and the copper in chocolate. Copper can become toxic if you have too much in your body. It's a heavy metal. And when you have too much, you become estrogenic, you can have nerve pain, you can have headaches, you can have hormone imbalances, you can have sleep problems because it's making you wired, but tired. Chocolate is abundant in copper (and caffeine). Yet carob is caffeine-free, and has less than one fifth the amount of copper as cocoa. Whether it's chocolate chips versus carob chips, hot cocoa versus carob cocoa, you are reducing your copper intake by at least 5 times. Significant when you consider the effects of copper on your hormones, etc.! You can use it interchangeably in all your recipes... including our Eat God's Way recipes! In this video, I am making homemade hot "cocoa" with carob and it's every bit as yummy! In Eat God's Way, we use quality, whole foods. Which makes substituting around your particular dietary needs pretty easy... and delicious! Eat God's Way recipes and methods use high-quality, simple whole foods along with cooking methods from Bible Times that save you money and time, while providing nutritious, digestible, and delicious meals and snacks for your family. If you or anyone you know would like to learn more about cooking and eating this way, I share more in my free Eat God's Way book... plus I give you simple and easy sample recipes in the companion cookbook.

Sourdough... you can't get more Biblical or natural than using sourdough in your kitchen. In this video series, I'm sharing 9 reasons you might consider using sourdough for your family's daily bread and more... First though, I have explain what "sourdough" is. Almost anything you bake can be made with sourdough... and anything sourdough begins with a sourdough starter. This "starter" or Mother Culture is a batter of flour and water, yet it's much more than that. If you looked at it under a microscope, you'd see a flourishing and active colony of beneficial organisms (yeast and bacteria)... that when mixed with flour and given time to "sour"... rises your baked goods and makes them more healthy... and delicious! Now, here's reason #1, why you should use sourdough in your kitchen. Honors God... The Bible mentions leavened bread, yet Instant Yeast didn't exist back then... they must have been using sourdough. So when you use sourdough in your kitchen, you're going back to the old way... Bible Times. In our family, we love doing sourdough first and foremost because we're honoring God and His design! Subscribe for the rest of the reasons! You're literally 5 min away from starting your own sourdough starter!

🤦🏻‍♀️ "I'm getting more and MORE behind! Will I ever catch up?" Are you tired of the never-ending cycle of dishes piling up in your kitchen? Feeling like you just finished one meal and now it's time to make another? I know how overwhelming it is to constantly feel like you're playing catch-up... especially when you're *trying* soooo hard to cook and eat healthy, plan your menus, and account for everyone's preferences. Here's a not-so-secret secret to help you not feel so behind: ❤️ Between you and the kids,  go to bed with a clean kitchen, so you're not starting the new day behind.   ❤️ After breakfast,  make sure the kitchen is clean...  so you're not starting lunch behind. ❤️ After lunch,  tidy the kitchen...  so you're not starting dinner behind. ❤️ And so on! Make it a habit to clean up after each meal. By taking a few extra minutes to wash the dishes, wipe down the countertops, and tidy up the kitchen, you won't feel behind the next time you get in there. In fact, you will probably enjoy cooking more! 😎 But don't stop there! I've written a book called "Eat God's Way" that will not only help you save time and money in the kitchen but also give you tips and recipes (using simple and nutritious Bible Times cooking methods) to help your family get healthier and happier. The Eat God's Way book is FREE, and I even include a companion cookbook so you can test out a few simple recipes to see what your family thinks.
