Ok, this is new to me..the whole blogging thing. However, I am on a mission to better myself, and my family. The foods we eat have the ability to make our day better or worse..the foods we eat have a direct affect on everything we do. I am tired of hearing so many people complain about how awful they feel, or how they catch every cold that's going around. I am surrounded by people who are always sick...it seems so obvious to me...everything leads back to diet. We are only as healthy as the foods we eat! So I am embarking on a mission..to change the way people look at food..starting in my own home.
We are a pretty healthy family..a fruit shake for breakfast, nice salad for lunch (this is a daily routine)..but my real challenge lies with my 16 year old daughter. She has all the knowledge of what's healthy..(currently not eating red meat), she just needs to apply it. 16 is a tough age, no doubt, but my mission is to get her to embrace more living foods by the time school starts on August 8th. I have purchased an Excalibur dehydrator, and a couple little gadgets (a spiralizer which we used yesterday to make AMAZING raw squash "pasta")..these tools will help me expand our raw food menu, and hopefully provide enough yummy options for a teenager to enjoy! Yesterday I made mango fruit rolls..just pureed mango..nothing else. They were awesome! Right now I have strawberry banana fruit rolls in the Excalibur..pretty basic stuff, but I have to start somewhere, right? Getting through the day raw is going to be a challenge...come on willpower..don't fail me now!
let me be the first to welcome you to blogging, and wish you luck on your mission. it will be fun to follow you, and may help recharge my own blogging batteries, which are dead. maybe i need a strawberry banana fruit roll to motivate me. i'll have to wait until that arrives in the mail, but for now will have to settle for fresh brewed sweet tea. upload pics of your food and toys when you can!
