8: Real Food & Killing Ants Naturally

I had so much fun on this interview with Katie Kimball of KitchenStewardship.com. She is a fantastic writer and researcher, pregnant with her fourth child, and manages a household and her popular blog (and makes it all look easy). We recorded at 9 PM after our collective 8.5 children were sleeping and she provided a lot of great tips for cooking real food for a family. My apologies in advance for the little bit of audio feedback in this episode. The problem has been fixed for the future episodes.Katie shared some of her best tips for getting rid of pests like ants and wasps naturally without chemicals that can harm your children.Other Fun Topics We Talked About0:30- Random brain facts like why you can’t tickle yourself1:40- Katie’s ten foundational habits for a healthier family2:00- The struggle to balance it all2:20- Katie’s “Core Four” = Environment, Nutrition, Time and Budget3:00- One thing at a time approach- Monday missions3:40- One simple switch that makes a big difference4:15- Katie’s three budget friendly real foods that she makes daily5:00- The super inexpensive way her family gets probiotics6:15- 3 foods that seem scary but aren’t8:00- The simple way to make homemade yogurt11:00- Real food really does cost more11:45- How to stretch an organic chicken and make multiple batches of broth15:35- How to prepare beans if you are going to eat them18:45- A tip to fix crunchy beans20:20- Her quick and easy natural way to get rid of sugar ants22:20- Lines that insects can’t cross22:38- Katie’s natural tip to get rid of wasps23:53- The biggest struggle Katie thinks the next generation will face24:30- Battling the sugar giant26:50- My battle cry27:30- The advice she wishes she’d gotten earlier in life29:20- Easy action steps to take right now31:11- The two books she can’t live withoutResources MentionedKatie’s start here page with her foundational habitsHomemade yogurt recipeNatural tips for killing ants naturallyNatural ways to deal with waspsHow to cook dried beansBook: Crock OnWebsite: TraditionalCookingSchool.comKatie’s Kindle Books on Amazon
