Kimberly's Background

At the age of 16 I became interested both in cooking and in eating healthy. For a brief period some specialists were concerned with some lumps I had being cancerous and called for several tests. Thankfully, I was fine, but it got me thinking more about my eating habits and how that could affect my health.

Soon after my mother was diagnosed with cancer, which she also thankfully survived. I was definitely interested in cooking healthy food by that point. During that time period I also got my first job working at a small bakery in my area. I grew to love the smell of freshly baked bread, savory soups, and other goodies. You can say that my interest in both health and cooking grew with me as I finished up my high school years.

I soon took over the shopping and cooking for our family of 6 and kept our grocery bills low.  I also loved to teach, having a full piano studio and even teaching some cooking classes to younger ladies in our circle of friends before I was out of high school.

Fast forward a few years and you find me with  a dear friend/boyfriend, Joel, who is now my husband. His mother, Sono Harris, had recently delved into a book by the name of Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. In this book Sally debunks the common ideas about what constitutes "health food".

You should eat dairy and meat, but dairy should be from pastured cows and raw, beef should be from grass fed cattle, and chickens should be free to roam and peck at their natural diet of greens and bugs. Butter is good, especially if it's pastured. Fat is a necessary part of your diet.


Cholesterol is good for you.   Some of these ideas have gained ground in the media more recently, but it was more of a "renegade" idea then.  But that didn't bother my in-laws. Joel's parents were used to being renegades. His dad, Gregg Harris was a hippie in his early years, turned Christian Homeschooling advocate in the early years of the movement. A lot of Sally Fallon's ideas seemed like common sense wisdom to them. I was gifted the book at one of my wedding showers and I soon was devouring it.
