I found you via Google when I was desperate to make some chicken tacos in the crock pot with some leftover homemade salsa and had no taco seasoning. What resulted was the easiest meal I have ever made, and my husband raves about it on and on and on. Thanks for helping me create a new staple for my home for years to come! I linked to your recipe for taco seasoning on this post: http://howdyhoney.blogspot.com/2012/02/easiest-dinner-ever-chicken-tacos-in.html God bless, honey! Thanks so much for posting this!

]]> Comment on Agave Nectar: Good or Bad? by JB http://www.foodrenegade.com/agave-nectar-good-or-bad/#comment-1076432 JB Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:58:44 +0000 http://www.foodrenegade.com/?p=1576#comment-1076432 I recently bought a bottle of Agave syrup (before reading this article). The label says "The agave sap is heated at a low temperature to produce a syrup with subtle molasses tones that is 25% sweeter than sugar." I'm just curious if this is false labeling or are there more ways of making agave syrup? To me the label puts this product in the same category as maple syrup. Can you clarify? So does this mean fructose, no matter what the source, is bad for you? Is maple syrup not fructose as well, or honey? I recently bought a bottle of Agave syrup (before reading this article).

An Interview With Ann Marie Michaels by erica http://www.foodrenegade.com/should-you-go-grain-free-interview/#comment-1076053 erica Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:05:19 +0000 http://www.foodrenegade.com/?p=3990#comment-1076053 Thank y'all for this post. It was verry enlightening but I think I'm even more confused now about what my family should eat! My dad. & i are both overweight even though we have both recently lost some & he was able to get off diabetic meds from eating low carb somewhat real food. Also I have a 22m/o who is fed homemade baby formula & egg yolks/coconuts/fruits/veggies. Should I be giving her grains? Should we eat grains? Will we still loose weight? My dad has rosaitia(sp) & I was told its a symtom of candida. Does that affect weather he should eat grains? Thank y’all for this post.

I've definitely fallen into the "carbs are poison" trap little by little over the past couple of years. I've been struggling to lose the last ten pounds from my last pregnancy and had even started to avoid eating my own homemade baked goods that are made with only sprouted grains. It feels good to dig in again guilt-free : ) I was wondering if you take any kind of supplements for your thyroid or if your diet alone is improving your thyroid function. My mom recently bought us both some sort of thyroid supplement called "Raw Thyroid". I used up the bottle, but I really didn't see any changes at all. I've been using some liquid kelp drops that I add to my water, but I'm not sure if that's helpful or not. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. Also, how important do you think sleep is? That is probably the area that I fail in the most. I'm a night owl with young kids, which equals not much sleep, and I'm starting to wonder if that is preventing weight-loss for me. Thanks!

I have been grain-free (and dairy-free) for about 4 years because it relieved my Lyme pain. I know I have gut damage from abx and do hope to eat everything again, but I know healing can take a long time. I did strict GAPS for a while and it helped a lot but it started making me crazy! I do serve mostly soaked/sprouted grains to my family and they are healthy people. THANK YOU for the great information!
