If it makes you any less inclined to feel guilty, I didn't toss all my processed foods either; a small shelf of refugees remains. Like you, I will be more likely to continue to eat real food if I don't starve to death in the process of learning.<br /><br />You might enjoy the blog Cage Free Family (it won't let me post the link, but easily searchable). The author struggles with fibromyalgia and has found that dietary changes have helped her immensely.Jess @OpenlyBalancedhttp://www.openlybalanced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500784247355256441.post-79240421959367996822010-02-10T01:06:29.441-05:002010-02-10T01:06:29.441-05:00Dusti, I don't have many resources either- or ...Dusti, I don't have many resources either- or money. I did find a "natural foods market" near me (although lots of the stuff in there was processed)- but it was really, really expensive.<br />They had local pastured bison for $13.99/pound.

I haven't been able to start much because I just don't have many resources. Looks like I may be mail-ordering some things :)<br /><br />Look forward to the rest of the challenge!

Today I realized the house has been way colder than starters really like. So I set on the stove while I prepared dinner and it took off!<br /><br />Shelly, I'll have to see if I can track down a copy of Nestle's book. Thanks for the suggestion! Let me know what name you settle on for your starter! :)maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409400959408658124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500784247355256441.post-35852320049933176902010-02-08T15:45:36.208-05:002010-02-08T15:45:36.208-05:00"In Defense of Food" was my epiphany boo..."In Defense of Food" was my epiphany book too! I just finished Kingsolver's "Animal Vegetable Miracle" and couldn't put it down. Nestle's "What to Eat" has been incredibly helpful in terms of navigating the grocery store and choosing the best of what's available. <br /><br />I love that you are naming your sourdough starter! LOL! I've never heard of that and will totally name mine :) I'm waiting for the starter cultures to arrive!Shellyhttp://www.epicorganic.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500784247355256441.post-68289060430741827522010-02-08T14:27:58.706-05:002010-02-08T14:27:58.706-05:00Your starter looks great!

I've not soaked grains before so that's all new to me too. The recipe looked pretty easy and we love biscuits. Definitely a lot to learn with this challenge!marcellahttp://www.peek.org/marcellanoreply@blogger.com
