Nutrition & Diet & Meal Planning & Finding Time!!

Dear Holly,
Your book is such an inspiration - thank you!
Planning & preparing meals is a major stumbling block for me in my MROL. Everything seems to need to be planned around them in our household or things just fall apart. I noticed on your blog that you have eliminated dairy & wheat from your diet. I recently discovered that a lot of my kids' problems, as well as my own, are related to similar intolerances. I have always been bad about over-using convenience foods & fast foods & such. However, now I don't just want to change, but need to for my family's sake.
It is very hard to find more time to cook from scratch and even harder to find well-balanced meals the kids will actually eat when trying to take out our problem foods - so many of our favorites and our comfort foods contain wheat or dairy. And 2 of my 5 kids are very picky eaters. None of us are big veggie eaters. Additionally, we were told that it would be better to increase our variety to avoid developing more food intolerances. How did you manage & can you recommend some good ideas or resources for us? Thanks & God bless you!

On Becoming Catholic

Dear Holly,
I'm a nearly-30-year-old SAHM of two little blessings. I was baptised in the Catholic Church as an infant and went to a Catholic elementary school, but as a teenager and for my adult life so far I've been a practicing member of a Protestant church. My husband is also a practicing member. I've felt, slowly but surely over the last year or two, a pull back towards my roots. Something about the Catholic faith just resonates within me and feels 'right'. I'm not sure where this is all heading, but God and time will tell!
My question to you as I make this spiritual journey is whether you know of any books or articles that could help me? Ones that perhaps address moving from a non-Catholic to a Catholic faith, or ones about the basics of the Catholic faith (I was especially interested in the types of prayer you told of in an earlier post). I appreciate that you are busy and I'm not expecting a reply straight away. I am, however, eagerly awaiting your MROL book but it's taking a while to ship all the way to Australia! Sorry this has gone on so long! I just want to add special thank you for the blessing your wisdom has been in my life so far.
