Welcome to Simply Natural Health -
     where healthy living becomes simple and practical
 

Do you desire to make some health and diet changes,

but just don't know where to begin?

Or perhaps you've been trying for years to incorporate

more healthful foods into your diet, but find it all

a little overwhelming and discouraging

Or maybe you have food allergies and sensitivities

that require you to eliminate certain foods.

Here at Simply Natural Health, our resources were developed to help families and individuals make a smooth and enjoyable change to a whole natural diet that works with the body to restore optimal health.  We have a variety of cookbooks and health guides that are particularly helpful for those dealing with food allergies or the health condition, candida.

Readers describe our books as “practical and down-to-earth”,

    “very comprehensive, organized, insightful and helpful”,

    “good home-cookin’”, “haven’t tried a recipe we haven’t liked”

     and “our favorite- we got rid of our other cookbooks!”

It may surprise you to learn that Kim is a "lazy cook" at heart, and only develops recipes meeting the following criteria   

         See if it appeals to you as well:

• only whole natural ingredients (and as few ingredients as possible)

• real ingredients- easy to find and purchase at a reasonable price, ones I would have on hand as staples (I don't want to make a special trip to the grocery store)

• minimally processed ingredients (for instance- dried herbs are okay, but no prepared foods like ketchup, vanilla, soy sauce or rice milk, etc.)

• avoiding common allergens (like wheat, corn, soy, sugar, dairy, etc.)

• only natural, unrefined fats

• no sugars (even natural sweeteners are only used sparingly on occasion)

• low in sodium, using only unrefined sea salt

• no inconvenient amounts (like "1 Tbsp. tomato paste" or "1/3 cup crushed pineapple"- what are you supposed to do with the rest?!)

• no multiple step recipes (reduced to as simple a preparation process as possible)

• minimal number of pots, pans and dishes used in preparation 

And Kim puts a high priority on a good layout for the final recipe- easy to follow, simple directions, and the ingredients are ordered and grouped conveniently.
