Real Moms Love to Eat
by Beth Aldrich
With its emphasis on pleasure principle from
start to finish, the title of this book could have
been “Real Moms Love to Eat Real Foods.” Beth
Aldrich comes across like your best friend... your
food-expert best friend, gabbing with you across
the kitchen table about nutrition, pleasure, and
moderation.
While most of the “real mom” books and blogs
focus on mainstream issues, Aldrich dives deep
into topics that green moms care about -- whole
foods, avoiding plastic in the kitchen, ethical eating, farmer’s market foods, and avoiding GMO’s.
That being said, our favorite line in the book is,
“Nobody said you can’t ever order another pizza!”
