One of my winter projects is to learn more about home remedies. We use some simple ones already: garlic for colds and flus, water for headaches, raspberry leaves for cramps, and calcium and magnesium as a mild painkiller.
Of course, the best remedy is prevention, and the best way to prevent illness is by taking good care of ourselves. Eating well is a huge part of that. How about a whole host of delicious, mom-tested, healthy recipes for the holidays? For the next eight weeks, we are all invited to enjoy and contribute to Whole Foods for the Holidays, a collection of ‘real food’ recipes from around the blogosphere. I’m entering my broccoli soup this week, if I can find a picture of it.
Disclosure: As usual, none of the resources I mentioned here make me any money, but they may save you—and me—a bundle. I received the e-book Herbal Nurturing for free in order to present my honest opinions in an upcoming review.

TAG! You’re it!

I’m liking these, Annie Kate! How fun, a progressive-dinner e-cookbook! I’d like to become better trained in home/herbal remedies, too. I’ve looked at Shoshana Easling’s (nie Pearl) stuff, but haven’t ordered anything. No time right now…I guess I should make time, it’s important!
Thank you for sharing!

Hi, sorry it took me a little awhile to get here…..
I like the suggestions you have made here, I am into some herbal remedies, I like as much as possible the alternatives out there first, then if it doesn’t work we go to the doctor. I can’t wait to visit some of the links you have here.
