  Katie - I suck at meal-planning and also structured shopping. The whole thing gives me the heebie-jeebies. The best success I've had with any sustained effort has been using "The Fresh 20." It's a subscription service and each week you get a set of 5 recipes for the week with everything laid out for you - shopping list for the entire week broken into sections of the store, prep times, recipes, leftovers incorporated into the remaining dishes. It's really idiot-proof. It's the best it's gotten for me. http://www.thefresh20.com/

  Nikki M. asked:

  With school starting, I have been toying with the idea of doing a 30 day Real Food challenge for our family. Has anyone done this with a picky toddler? Any resources you recommend if you have done it?

  My kids eat alot of cheese (I buy the blocks at Sam's...forget the brand, but no growth hormones, etc.), fruit, veggies - I try to get them to eat what I'm fixing....Henry (2) is better than Grace (7). I do buy some processed foods, but only try to buy those with decent ingredients (i.e. nothing I can't pronounce). We've been eating that way for several years. I have a grass-fed beef guy that lives in Bay Minette (Hastings Farm). Also love Working Cows Dairy for milk! It's low-temp pasteurized (I have alot of friends in VA that do raw milk - I'm hesitant to feed it to my kids if I don't know exactly where it's coming from), but Working Cows is low-temp pasteurized (you can make your own mozz & ricotta cheese out of it), and non-homogenized, plus the cows are grass-fed. There are alot more choices for where to buy good, whole foods on the Eastern Shore than it was 5 years ago! Do you know about Bee Natural farm? They're just down the road from you too. Oh yeah, check out TheFresh20.com too for meal plans. I LOVE their meal plans. I haven't used them in a month with our move, and have been in such a funk about what to fix. Even Grace (the picky eater) likes the meals.

  Heather O. asked:

  I'm looking to improve my nutrition. Can anyone recommend a book or some guidance? I generally eat low carb/low gluten but I'm inconclusive if this is going to work as I extend past marathon distances. Any suggestions?!

  

  Crystal S. replied:

  Then I do have a suggestion!!! It's called Fresh 20. It is absolutely amazing. I subscribe to it for both the Classic (non-vegetarian) and vegetarian menu each week. It has recipes, the grocery list, it's fresh, seasonal items and the grocery list stays at 20 items every week. They do have a list of pantry items that you should keep on hand that aren't included in that number. Check them out. http://www.thefresh20.com/
