Spaghetti Casserole! (a makeover for your spaghetti)
Love the cookbook, and have made several of the recipes. I’m also on board for the mini challenges in Jan. Thank you so much for all you do.
I preordered your cookbook because I love your blog and recipes so much. I’ve been using your cookbook for months now and it’s the best cookbook ever! I’m hoping you’ll release another cookbook in the near future! Thanks!
since finding your blog, I have tried adding real food to my life. I started with lunches for the kids, but honestly, you have helped me make som positive changes to my life. So thank you! And I have the cookbook!
I don’t see much on Tofu. Is there a brand of Tofu you recommend or on the flip side, brands that you would not eat. In general, I am curios if blocks of Tofu (usually how they are packaged) are highly processed.
Hi Brett. The Leakes aren’t really tofu eaters. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be. ;) This is a really good reference on tofu and has links to better understand the good, bad, and ugly of soy: http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2013/10/07/processed-food-vs-whole-foods-tofu-stand/. When looking for tofu, look for organic and a very short ingredient list. ~Amy
I can’t wait for my pre-ordered Cook Book to get here. I am slowly trying to get healthier unprocessed food items in my kitchen and continually trying to talk about it with my 10 and 12 year old (which can be a challenge at times). BUT, I am having a great day today as I had to defrost my fridge/freezer and started throwing stuff out:)
What a beautiful plants it would look good in anybody’s kitchen!
