If you don’t like healthy food…
…don’t come to the Stubborn House.
Starting tomorrow, this families eating style is totally changing. We are starting out with some simple rules, and trying to add in more and more good as we eliminate the not so good.
So we have cut out all white sugars and grains. We already eat a lot of veggies, but we are going to try to replace grains with veggies whenever possible. This will be easier in the summer because fresh produce is very hard to come by in the U.P. in the winter. My personal goal is to keep things as low glycemic as possible to help with my body’s particular needs.
Hubby Person is really excited for this change….mostly. He knows I have the will power to make sure that nothing gets into the house that shouldn’t be, which is both good and bad. He was just asking me about cookies. Does this mean no cookies, like, forever? I told him that maybe we can put a day on the calendar every month or so when we can have a cookie day.
How do all you health conscious mamas do it?
My 16 year old’s reaction in the grocery store was quite funny.
“Mom. We are out of bagels. We only have like 1 onion one left.”
“Okay, well we can get these whole grain ones. They look really good.”
“What? What do you mean? We can’t get the other bagels any more?”
“What part of ‘no white flour or sugar’ was confusing to you?”
His mouth dropped open and stayed that way for quite a while. Hehehe.
Anywho, any tips or veggie-full recipes would be AWESOME! We aren’t cutting out meat, although we are replacing red meat when ever possible, so recipes with meat but lots of veggies would rock!
Blessings!
