ABOUT THIS BLOG


I am not a great writer or blogger, but have been asked about what kind of meals I fix. I think it's overwhelming to some when they find out the things they shouldn't eat, the things they should, and are left wondering what can they fix, that actually tastes good, and is realistic in everyday life. I remember when I read Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and was completely overwhelmed and thought, "How can I ever eat that well?" But I just made little changes, did what I could, and it slowly became my lifestyle. I recommend that book to everyone. It's full of essential information on the how's and why's. Some of the recipes I haven't liked and other's are a favorite staple. I will say that your tastes change. Things that you once thought were so good, taste aweful after you know what real, nutrient dense food, tastes like. Unlike popular belief, healthy food is very tasty. Some people think healthy tastes like cardboard, and they would rather eat the box. The truth is: if you're thinking healthy comes from a box, bag, or can, even if organic, you are wrong. Those foods have little food value. Organic boxed food may not have bad things in it but it yields very little nutrition because most of the nutrients evaporated during processing and heating. That's why most breakfast cereal is fortified. Eat foods as fresh, pure, whole, and organic as possible with little or no processing.

We spend money on maintaining our homes, vehicles, boats, and what not, but what about our health which can be irreplaceable. In my opinion, eating right should come before those things. Our body is an amazing healing machine when given the right fuel. So I decided to start a little blog to share some of the meals that I make and little lifestyle changes. I'm not an expert and eating right doesn't guarantee you won't have health problems, but we are only as healthy as what we eat. Take it or leave it!

Juicing

A great thing to add you your life is fresh juicing.  I bought a juicer in 2009 and have loved it.  Juice from a store is usually from concentrate (boiled down to syrup) and then reconstituted with water which is basically flavored sugar in water.  I recommend investing in a juicer and begin drinking fresh juices in the morning before eating anything else.  I don't take vitamins because they don't absorb well into our system.  Juicing provides a boost of much needed vitamins and minerals to begin your day and is readily absorbed.  My favorite blend is carrots, celery, cucumbers, beets, kale or beet greens, lemon, and apple.  There are many juice recipe books and recipes online.  Have fun, it's delicious!
