My Dear Readers, I know that I have written no posts here at
Day by Day Homesteading for a little
over a month now, and you have probably been wondering what on Earth has happened
to me. Well, I have some exciting
news: I have self-published an e-book
(well two, to be exact)!
During the final weeks of writing, editing, and publishing, I decided
that I needed to dedicate all of my free time and extra energy to my book
project. This book has been
several years in the making, and for a number of reasons, I decided that it was
finally time to write it and get it out into the world.
The book, The
Down-to-Earth Guide to Healthy Food Shopping, is focused on how to find and
select healthy food when you go to the grocery store or the market. Here on the Day by Day Homesteading blog, I have always advocated, and will
continue to advocate, growing your own food as much as possible, as you will
always know where that food comes from.
I advocate that view in my book as well, but I also understand that not
everyone is going to grow their own food, and in the world that we live in, it
is challenging to produce and grow absolutely everything yourself. At some point, many of us still find
ourselves needing to buy food from somewhere outside of our homes and
homesteads. My goal with this book
has been to help guide folks to what I believe are the healthiest food choices
are out there, and what many of those terms on the food labels mean.
I have found that there has been a lot of confusing and
conflicting information available to the public about what eating healthy
really means. This issue has been
very close to my own heart, since I have personally struggled with a nearly
8-year journey for my own health and wellbeing, and proper nutrition has played
an absolutely critical role during the search for solutions to my health
issues. In the book, I discuss my
experiences with my own health struggles, the physical, emotional, and
spiritual impacts, how these struggles have ultimately made me a stronger, more
resilient person, and how I am now closer to my Creator than ever before. I then discuss many of the things that
I have learned along the way about what I believe eating healthy really means,
and how to find truly healthy food when you go shopping. I also discuss that there is no
one-size fits all diet for everyone.
What do I mean by that?
You’ll have to read the book to find out!
I also wrote a much shorter guide on selecting produce when
shopping at the grocery store, The
Down-to-Earth Guide to Finding and Selecting Healthy Produce. In that book, I discuss issues such as which
conventional produce items typically have the most pesticides, what the code
stickers on the fruits and vegetables mean, how to select the best produce, and
even resources for finding locally grown produce near you.

inclined, please feel free to leave a review of the books on either of the sites where
they are being sold. Thanks!
