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. How do we know what "clean eating" really is? Do we have to spend whole days cooking and entire paychecks buying expensive foods? Is there anyone who's been down this road before, or are we alone in our confusion and frustration? Thankfully, Mandy Blume has traveled the path of lifestyle change. In "Real Food Recovery", she's reaching out to provide fellow moms (and anyone interested in changing the way they cook and eat) with advice, support, and affordable, doable recipes that will appeal to busy families like yours. Mandy shares her stories of illness, loss, hope, and recovery in this book that's part cookbook, part "mom-to-mom chat." Real Food Recovery is a treasure trove of delicious recipes, heartfelt encouragement, and nonjudgmental guidance that struggling moms everywhere can rely on as they seek optimal health for themselves and their families.
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.
