"Grains and dairy foods are important components of nourishing traditional diets; however, grains and milk products are the most difficult foods to digest and often need to be removed from the diet for healing to take place. Mandy Blume guides you through the process of going gluten-free and casein free and provides delicious GFCF recipes, so that you never feel deprived." -Sally Fallon Morell, President The Weston A. Price Foundation

Real Food and Real Recovery for Real People
In today's junk-food culture, diseases and allergies stemming from our lifestyle choices are so prevalent that most of us know someone afflicted with at least one food-related condition-perhaps that "someone" is even us. And perhaps we don't even realize that our dietary choices are causing us to feel less than our best.
As we search for a healthier way to live, we're faced with hard questions, like:

J. Whitehead is quoted as saying, "Children are the living message we send to a time we will not see."
Mandy loves sharing the importance of the food we put into our bodies. If you want to be great, you have to eat great! After fostering many children and adopting, each child became her inspiration to step out into the big world and share how we can heal with good food. A little two-year-old foster boy with cancer who called her Mommy changed everything. Fighting a rare cancer, Dak passed away at four years old in her arms, and his last words inspire Mandy today. Life comes with some powerful lessons. With experience, knowledge, and inspiration, Mandy continues to help kids and families through www.RealFoodRecovery.org and the foster homes. Join her to build bridges between us, blow the roof off fear and find ways to recover our children and the earth.
