That is why I created this blog. So that other people like me, that want to help get the junk out of their lives can have a place where they don't feel even MORE guilty for what they have been feeding their family. I know that is not the intent of the women that do all of those great things, but the guilt is there nevertheless. (at least for me but maybe I am just a nut) I want to track my progress on here so that you can see where I started and why I started and my failures in between. Maybe one day I will be the lady that soaks every grain their family consumes to ensure optimal nutrition. I am just not there yet.
I would love to say I am going to start making everything we eat from scratch-with soaked or sprouted grains no less! I just don't think I can handle ALL that just yet. Maybe one of these days. I am certainly hard on myself when it comes to providing for my family but I really have to slow down and take it one day at a time to be successful.
- *Pure Cane Sugar or Honey instead of regular granulated sugar (which could contain Genetically Modified Sugar Beets)
- *Only organic or Non-GMO Project Verified products if they contain: Sugar, Corn, Soy, Canola or Cottonseed oil
- *Homemade foods whenever possible. So far we have tried: bread, crackers, tortillas
- *Aluminum free Baking Powder
- *No canned goods- we either make them at home (beans) or purchase a carton instead (soups, broth, tomato products)
- Find better alternatives to dining out. Sometimes, the convenience is too tempting but I always regret feeding standard restaurant food to my daughter.
- Attempt making candy
- Find more ways to make our new lifestyle convenient for our family. Most of the time, it feels like a hassle to work around our diet choices.
- Try new scratch made recipes and build a Real Food Recipe binder of foods we tried and loved
- Switch to Einkorn wheat
FYI- deleted a good 2 LONG paragraphs of this post complaining about the food industry in America. You are welcome.
