Monday Morning Mix-Up 2/18/2013 – Soy it Ain’t So, the Pain of Low Libido, and More!

Good morning readers.  I've got some big projects in the works around here, so if you've emailed me recently, I'm sorry that I won't get to it for a little while yet.  (One of the projects is planning the talk I was asked to give at the upcoming Michigan regional Weston A. Price conference – if you're ready to take your health to the next level, I hope you can join us!)  So I'll get right to today's links…

• Don't you LOVE cookbooks that have a picture for every recipe?  Especially when the pictures are gorgeous and the recipes are truly nourishing!  My friend, Kimi Harris, from the Nourishing Gourmet blog, recently sent me her new beautiful cookbook:  Ladled: Nourishing Soups for All Seasons.  Click on the link or the picture to peek inside.  🙂

• Check out this great post (and picture!) from Emily, the Holistic Kid:  San Francisco Coffee Shop Bans Soy Milk:

• When You're Tired of Always Being Needed – I just posted this at my Christianity 101 blog and it was very reassuring to me as a homeschooling mom!  Here's an excerpt:  “To have what some might think is the ultimate freedom, the radical autonomy to be without any duty or obligation to others, is actually a taste of Hell.”  

• Here are some Facebook highlights from last week:
  • A reminder to anyone who would like a FREE entry into an online nutrition class – just pre-order this book and you're IN!
  • Do you suffer from the pain of low libido in your marriage?
  • Yay! My beloved Bosch is back on my resources page! (Here's my homemade soaked bread recipe.)
  • Where do you hang YOUR yogurt to drip out the whey?
  • Boxed chocolate fudge brownies are one of the big things I missed from my crap-food days – they were so moist and tasty, but THIS chocolate fudge brownie recipe is just as good if not better! I made it for the kids for Valentines day and left the middle a bit gooey – YUM.  (As someone pointed out, it used to be that we'd say, “better than homemade”, but that's how skewed my taste-buds were!)
  • Do you know anyone who wants to wean off of anti-depressants?

• Kent sent the following article recently with this comment, “Most of the list is a pretty sad commentary on our eating habits.”  Check it out:  America's 50 Most Powerful People in Food.
