Back to Basics with Healthy eating

So Good,..
No relationship worth having is "give, give, give..." There has got to be some sort of reciprocity. Such is the case with a friend of mine. I help her garden, and she helps me get back on track with my eating. Wow! I never met a real raw food specialist before!

 Anyhow, lets take it back about 2 years. I owned the webpage GoodStewards.net, a site where I would give healthy eating tips  and have people sign up for tours at local markets and health food stores. I did 80% of my shopping at the farmers market, I knew the nutrition facts on a plethora of items, and neither of my children had eaten "baby food." I cooked healthy balanced meals, and wood put a portion in the food processor for my babies. I even made all of my household cleaners, creams and lotions.

The must haves!
Kale Salad with Avacado Lime Dressing. Thanks NK for the recipe!
 What happened? Glad you asked. Life happened. the teacher salary has been in the same place for the last 7 years. Not what we planned at all. So I went back to work. Now we eat whats most convenient. The kids have a pallet for processed foods and so does the hubby. I buy natural cleaners. No Goodstewards.net. Someone bought it (and wants to sell it for a small fortune). I might make it to the farmers market every other month,.. SHAME!


I would like to give a shout out to all working moms who work hard to balance home, kids, and hubby (also to those without a hubby) be strong girl, God's grace is sufficient,...trust Him). I must also acknowledge the At-Home-Moms! That was some of the hardest work I had ever done (and loved!).


So, I'm Womanning up! I'm doing the best I can to make sure my family is eating right, and fighting against the (typical) USA trained pallets to enjoy healthy foods.
