Feeding Our Families, Eating Crickets and What the Heck is Grass-Finished?

FOOD. We need it. We love it. We don't really understand it. And it's kind of amazing that we're in charge of feeding tiny humans what we really don't understand and then to that point HOW THE HECK DO WE KNOW WE'RE GIVING EVERYONE THE RIGHT STUFF? How do WE know we're eating the right stuff? What IS the right stuff? Why is soy in everything and why does coconut water taste so horrible?

Anyway, we enlisted the insight of Nutritional Therapist, Maya Strausberg, and while she doesn't give us all the answers (we couldn't logically have a 5 hour episode about food...right?) she does help quelle our fears and anxieties about what we're eating and what we're feeding our family and at the very least how much sugar is too much to in a packet of fruit snacks or a protein bar.

If you'd like to learn more about Maya's practice and services visit Family Tree Nutrition.

And FYI, here are the two "crack" salts Tracey loves:

Fleur de Sel Le Saunier de Camargue (should be between $7-$10 depending where you find it)

Maldon Salt Flakes (you can usually find this in most spice sections of most grocery stores...look towards the bottom shelves)

And of you didn't know already, Perfect Bars (Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter) are basically what's been keeping us alive for the past year.

What are your thoughts on food and nutrition for your family? What works for you? What don't you care about? What do you worry about?

We love you!

Shayna and Tracey have been friends since the 8th grade – that’s over 25 years. After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born.

The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour and continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.
