And the winner is . . .

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Chickin Feed giveaway! Also thank you to Leslie Smith Grant for sharing practical nutrition information in her Chickin Feed Primer and in her interview here on Green Mamma. I know that my family and I will make good use of Ms. Grant’s tips and tools in the coming year . . . between prepping healthy meals for my husband and Annabelle and making sure that I eat healthful meals to feed both myself and Levi, I’m certain that our copy of the Primer will be paged through again and again.

Now for the winners of the Chickin Feed Primer and the Chickin Feed Nutrition Tracking Board . . . Congratulations to Emma, who wrote the following about how her family would benefit from the Chickin Feed system:

“Between better food choices for myself (guided by weight watchers to lose weight and better understand portion control, but also by my desire to eat better, healthier, fresher, local foods), joining a CSA, and just including more veg on our plates, I realized I need to eat more like what I’m feeding my kids. It’s funny because I look at waht I’m feeding them & realize if I could keep it to that in my own diet, I’d lose the baby weight quicker!! :) The kids eat 2 or 3 veg & a protein for dinner, typically carbs for snack (lots of on the go), but we also pack up sliced apple & snap peas when we’re out. That said, I want to better understand their portion sizes (what is really appropriate to give 15 month old & 3 1/2 year olds- both can be very “good” – substantial – eaters). Tonight we had some amazing local purple green beans (they turned green after they hit boiling water – amazing surprise science lesson for E!), barley, butternut squash, peas, and a slightly sad protein from our freezer. Anyway, goes to show, as much as I’m trying, we, but as a family, I know still have a whole lot to learn about nutrition. I still have lots of questions (like how much protein do we really need…?)”
