Remember it is a journey I am talking about here, small steps add up. I will share a secret, one of my favorite cookbooks of all time is the Joy of Cooking. As for snacks, we make those real too. Just today my children made their own snacks after school. My oldest made herself oatmeal, and 2 eggs fried in olive oil, while my middle child had milk and cereal and my youngest had yogurt and frozen strawberries. Now my kids are 13, 11, and 7, so they are a little more independent than some. But here is the catch, they could not have chips or a yogurt with food coloring nd HFC because I don't keep those things in our house. Start with making small steps changing your breakfast for instance. Check out some fo the recipes on here.Lisa - the Granola Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020431743182581746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853477990546994356.post-85663025809500155792011-08-23T14:55:23.829-05:002011-08-23T14:55:23.829-05:00I grew up eating Velveeta and instant mashed potat...I grew up eating Velveeta and instant mashed potatoes, so it's been hard for me to figure out what healthy eating could look like for my family, but we're working on it! Right now we've switched to long-grain "real" brown rice instead of 5 min rice and have started using whole wheat flour and don't buy much processed food, but it's still a struggle to figure out what to eat sometimes! Where do you find good recipes? And what do you snack on?Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307119158765850624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853477990546994356.post-68132368932437877712011-08-21T22:45:16.247-05:002011-08-21T22:45:16.247-05:00Oh, how I wish our garden did not fry this year.

Still waiting on the rain though.Lisa - the Granola Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020431743182581746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853477990546994356.post-58801389255281996222011-08-21T22:09:15.816-05:002011-08-21T22:09:15.816-05:00I am on a quest to feed my family all whole, non-p...I am on a quest to feed my family all whole, non-processed foods as well!
