Healthy Eating

There are quite a few organic items on the shelves these days. Don’t forget to eat as many fresh organic fruits and vegetables as possible. Many of the processed organic foods are not equal to making your own from fresh ingredients. The idea of going organic is not to still buy the same old processed foods, but to have a healthy change in your eating habits. If you have to have some snacks or cookies, I still say organic is good, but choosing a fresh food is so much better and will give you more energy. You can make healthier organic versions of your favorite snacks at home by adding oats to your cookies and breads, using less sugar, and adding less fat.

Don’t forget to eat whole grains, nuts, legumes and plenty of fresh salads with lots of vegetables and make a nice fruit salad while you are at it.

Five, Six or Seven A Day

Are you eating plenty of fruits and vegetables? You should be having the equivalent of a nice sized fruit salad, a huge green salad with lots of various veggies and some cooked veggies, every day. You can have your fruits in pies, yogurt, desserts. You can use your veggies to dip into a yogurt-peanut butter dip. Steam some carrots, green beans and asparagus and keep them around to grab and snack on cold. They are so yummy! Cut up a lot of fruits and veggies daily and put them in the front of the fridge. Grab them first.If you have kids or even adults who don’t get their five-six-seven a day, then add them to foods. If your kids like pancakes, make banana nut pancakes or blueberry pancakes. Top French toast or waffles with fresh fruit. Make a low sugar cobbler or pie for them to enjoy. Carrot cake, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread and banana bread are also ways to get them to eat their fruits and veggies. Sometimes just putting out a delicious looking fruit bowl will get them to grab that piece of fruit.

Don’t forget to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables daily and make them ORGANIC for better health and quality!

Berry Berries

Choose berries as often as possible. I have always loved berries as far back as I can remember. I always chose the boysenberry yogurt, the blackberry pie. The raspberry cheesecake. The more berries, the better. I love buying berries fresh, but you can also get them frozen for the winter.You may want to think about getting some berry bushes and planting your own. The health benefits would make up for all your hard work! Plus you would have some to freeze for the winter. Imagine all the wonderful things you could make!

Get to work!

It’s Happening!

I have some great news!! We visited the 99 cent store today and I was happy and amazed to see canned “Organic” tomato sauce, beans and various vegetables!!!!!! I have been paying two to three dollars a can for the same organic products at specialty markets. So it is happening already. Organic will soon be the “norm”. YAY! It is happening much faster that I thought it would, and it makes me very happy.Eating organic, shopping organic, growing organic will only help this world that we live in. It makes me feel so hopeful and proud of the organic movement. This generation of children will be healthier and better performing individuals overall from eating foods without pesticides and added chemicals. Wow…I could sing and dance…this makes me so excited.

I congratulate all who have made this possible. Many people have been working hard for years to make this happen, and they deserve the credit. Rewards will be a better environment, happier & healthier people, new generations of people that will feel better and think better and perform better! An organic toast to All who have played a part in brining this to fruition…you are my heroes!
