Lately, I have been reading about the food that we buy now. We are not in good shape as a country when it comes to our food. There have been many things that have triggered my interest in eating healthier, but looking at my girls has been the biggest motivation. Is what I am feeding them good for their minds and body? While we eat healthier than most families…the answer is no.
I stumbled across this blog Maria’s Health and was amazed at what she was making! Everything we love…just so much better for you! So I ordered her book. Oh.My.Gosh. The small book is PACKED full of recipes that sound awesome! The best part is a lot are gluten free and low/no carb.
With this change in eating comes a change in buying groceries. I had to place a rather expensive order (I ♥ Amazon!!!) to get some of the ingredients. This is only some of it, the rest will be delivered next week. I told Wade…we can pay for it now, or we can pay for it later when we have health issues. (And it is better than paying for some weight loss program!)
Today I made my first recipe. It was for cheese danishes. They were pretty good! The Stevia (Wade found it at HEB) is really sweet, much sweeter than sugar, so that will take some getting used to.
(oh…and don’t forget to grease the pan! “fake” sugar does NOT come off of anything…even non-stick! lesson learned.)
