Food Help

Okay! I need some input. I need to know what you eat for dinner or what you would like to eat. I am trying to build an extensive menu because I basically get extremely bored with food when I have it too much. I am not one that can eat the same seven meals every week. I don't need recipes, those I can look up, just what you eat? Even if it's something you get at a restaurant. Don't worry about nutritional value either as I will adjust it personally to be healthy and whole.  My goal is to make everything from scratch, as close to it's original state as possible. The funny thing is, the Lord is showing me a whole new level of what "scratch" means. Interesting stuff really. I am excited about all of it though. I feel like cooking is a way of expressing myself artistically. It brings me special enjoyment when the food is healthy and nourishing for the ones I love. So, send me what you like to eat. Can't wait to hear what it is.

Something in the air

There is a hint of Autumn in the air today. Last night the air was cold. The temperature was perfect today. When I went outside I didn't feel hot or cold, just pleasant. There was a constant breeze like there usually is in this area. I just felt like being in the air was healing something inside me. I can see why people would go the sea to get well. There's something in the air. The mysteries the Lord has laid out in this world are many and I hope he will reveal them all to us in the end. I want to be able to read the book. Wouldn't that be great?

Going Raw


So, in an effort to eat better, I decided to try to serve raw food for breakfast and lunch. I wasn't sure how this was going to go over with the kids, but to my surprise they are loving it! My son ate more today than I think I have ever seen him eat at a lunch setting. This must be what his body needs. He often leaves meats on his plate and it used to discourage me, but now I know it's healthy for him to eat raw food anyhow, so that's what I'll give him. We had salad with the option of cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, raw gouda, and avocado served with raw dressing made by me, and watermelon for lunch. All the kids, including my niece, ate it right up. Success. I'll keep you posted on how this goes for us. For more info on why to eat raw food, visit Living and Raw Foods.
