Hello all. My hard drive on my computer died and I've been unable to use my computer for a while. My sweet husband is letting me borrow his computer until he can build my new system and get me up and running again. I am not used to his keyboard so if I make a lot of typos it's because of the new keyboard.
Things have been going smoothly here at home. More and more I am seeing foods that we eat are filled with perservatives and dyes that I do not want in my body, nor my families bodies. I just found out today that Yellow 6 is in Eggo Waffles. Now I knew they were not a healthy breakfast by sny stretch but I didn't know they were sneaking dyes in them too. My kids love their Eggo's, but now they are going to enjoy my whole wheat homemade waffles instead.
In fact I am going to be making a lot of things homemade from now on. My part-time job as a preschool teacher ends in May and before I was wondering what I'd do with myself. Now I know. I am going to take that extra time to prepare homemade, healthy foods for my family. Like a housewife from the past I am going to stop relying on prepackaged meals, and things in boxes, but instead we're going to eat at home fresh food.
Today I made homemade granola bars. They are tasty, easy, and the kids love them. It just took me a little bit of time to prep and prepare them this morning but it felt good having a healthy snack for the kids when they came home from school today.
My mother-in-law lent me her bread maker so I plan to start making some fresh breads in the near future. As well as homemade muffins too. It's just the beginning of a whole new way of eating but I think we're ready, even if the kids are a little hesitant to try new treats and snacks that Mommy made. They'll get used to it. =P
Have a wonderful day!
