Organic and Whole-Food Eating

This is the kitchen section of Living at My Pace: how we eat at home, at a pace a full house can keep.

I write here about the everyday work of food — shopping, cooking, sitting down together and using what we bought. My mom, Terrilyn Miller, will write here too. She has used food to fight cancer, and her articles will live in this hub under her own byline, in her own words, once she has approved them.

We eat only organic. Dinner is almost always home-cooked, and we eat by candlelight every night. The stores, the tools, and the morning loaf are in What I Mean by Eating Well at Home and Tools I Reach for When I Cook. The daily kitchen pattern is in Rhythms Are How We Make It Work — bread, coffee, and fresh fruit in the morning, packed lunches, and candlelit dinners almost every night. The shop is in The Grocery Run That Feeds a Whole House, meal planning is in How We Plan Meals, and the baking is in A Pie, a Muffin, and Other Things We Actually Bake, including the daily loaf. The dishes themselves are in Recipes.

Nothing in this hub is medical advice, a diet or a treatment plan. If you have a health condition, including cancer, talk with your doctor before changing how you eat.

If you are new to Living at My Pace, Start Here is the short path through the first four pieces, including the kitchen one.

Personal experience, not medical advice. Please work with your own clinician on any change to how you eat during illness or recovery.
