About Jamie
Jamie Aramini is the author of several books, including Eat Your Way Around the World, Geography Through Art with Sharon Jeffus, and The Adventures of Munford. Here's more about Jamie in her own words:
I grew up surrounded by the natural beauty of central Kentucky and still call Kentucky home. I spends my days writing, trying to tame my two wild-child little boys, and making a feeble attempt at living a sustainable lifestyle.
I'd like to be a mix of half-hippie/half-Amish. Instead, I come off as a sort of reclusive super-geek with chickens in her back yard. (Oh, and a pet goat named Marmaduke...) I like to garden organically, in a laid-back style that I'd call "weed-friendly." I drink raw milk, but cancel out the nutritional value with a daily dose of Pepsi.
If I could really sum up what I'm passionate about, it's living simply. I believe modern American culture overcomplicates everything. From faith to parenting to finances, I think that simplicity is the key to sanity and survival. (As long as there is Pepsi involved...)

My Green Tuesday Shopping List
(I meant to post this on Black Friday, but life got away from me. Then I thought perhaps Cyber Monday, but no luck there, either. So… Green Tuesday it is.) Many, many years ago, I started keeping an Amazon Wish List for myself. It really served more like a bookmark file of books that I [...]
A Green Weirdo Recipe
Sometime in the past few years, my brother became a health nut. He lost a lot of weight, quit drinking carbonated beverages, and has shifted his usual topic of conversation from his lost finger (long story) to All Things Nutrition. Now, he is always trying to advise me on ways to elevate my mood and [...]
