Real Foodie Favs
Do you ever wonder what other real foodies love? Today I'll give you a snapshot of what some of the February Amazon favorites were…
1. The top fav for sure was Kristen's new Beautiful Babies book, and this book isn't just for those wanting healthy babies, the whole first section is full of solid scoop on the basics.
2. This colloidal silver has still been popular, probably because 'tis the season. I've told you before how effective it is for our family to help us dodge antibiotic bullets. When someone feels an earache or sore throat coming on – just a couple hits of this stuff (along with our powerful cod liver oil) and bam – all gone.
3. Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia – there are so many people suffering out there, it's no wonder that this book is a top favorite. Read more here on the GAPS Diet for healing.
4. Others have realized how much better coffee tastes when using a Porcelain Coffee Filter Cone (with water from our hot water tap
, which I couldn't be without now) or this awesome stainless steel percolator, and they both keep hot coffee away from plastic! (Read my posts about coffee.)
5. Katie's new e-book has been a big hit, too: Better Than a Box: How to Transform Processed Food Recipes into Whole Foods Favorites. Just that title gets ya doesn't it? I wish it had been around when I first had my ‘food conversion‘.
So all of YOU real foodies, what goodies have you purchased lately to help you on your journey?

You can have drip coffee without plastic. I use a Chemex glass pot with unbleached paper filters. No icky oils and the glass is easy to wash. Metal parts retain oils, don’t they? And I think drip coffee is better for you.

But what about the inside of your coffee maker, aren’t all the parts in there made of plastic? Our old one was like that.

We switched to a percolator a couple of years ago and I will never go back! I’ve been a coffee drinker for years but always had one of those plastic machines. When it broke this last time, I decided to try a percolator instead. I hadn’t seen one since I was a kid and didn’t really understand why no one used them anymore. I thought I would find out.
I came home and ran a vinegar rinse through it and then a weak coffee cycle through it before making a real pot of coffee. Oh. My. God!!! I was blown away! It was the richest, yummiest cup of coffee I had ever had at home. I called my mom and asked her why she ever stopped using one of these amazing coffee makers. She said she couldn’t remember why, but probably because everyone talked about how easy it was to maintain one of the plastic ones instead. The next time she came over I percolated her a pot and she went out and bought one the next day. She had forgotten how good the coffee is.
If you haven’t had a cup of percolated coffee, then do yourself a favor and buy one of the pots on Kelly’s link. You won’t regret it. And besides, when people come over to my house, they make fun of it until they taste the percolator’s product. I probably should have been selling these things because I’ve converted a lot of people! I mean really, who wants to brew their coffee in a plastic BPA machine?? Ewwww!

I know! And now you’ve gone and made me want another cup….. 🙂
