Frugal

It is so amazing that people will spend their hard earned monies for frankenfood, but balk at paying the price for quality nutrient rich ingredients. In the same breath you feed your children artificial ingredient "low sugar and fat" foods, but refuse them to drink an all natural juice. Yes it does have sugar in it. But it is the natural fructose that is in the fruit. Along with nutrients and vitamins. The gator ade has a lower sugar content but that sugar is not associated with anything but water and manufactured vitamins that your body cannot utilize. UMMM they forgot to tell you that didn't they? Oh yes it does have some added salts too. The fruit juice doesn't need the added salts, its minerals come through the soil it was grown on. Some people will never see it.

Make up your mind!

Why is it that everytime a new report comes out it changes what we thought we knew?


Please take your time do the research and find the answers.

Don't report part of the facts and put your own spin on it.

Give us facts, all the facts and let us find our own conclusions.

We actually do have working brains, some of us even have brains that work most of the time.

WOF

I join some of you at the Columbus OH WOF convention at the first of May.

We have a fun time. Last year I actually joined the connections while we were at the convention.
It is nice to get motivational emails from WOF everymonth.

Their website if very nice if you have never visited it.

But best of all I ordered several items from their online store this week, (Tuesday) and the order arrived on Friday.

Everything I ordered was on clearance. The quality is nice, I ordered two shirts and a sweatshirt jacket, they were available in extra large and one was a 2 X. They are all a little roomy but nice.

So if you are looking for things check out WOF online store. And check out the bargains.

Grains

Why is it that people today can not get their minds around most people have some trouble with grains.
Even those who do not have auto immune disease, grains cause the villa in the intestines to die, and then your body must remanufacture it. You are using energy and resources to make new villa so your nutrients are able to be absorbed in your body. When your body is not getting nutrients it feels it needs, you are hungry and crave food trying to find them.

You don't need grains, you were not developed to eat grains, YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT THEM.
You might not want to but you can. And you don't have to, but I think maybe I do.
I think maybe I need to get my mind around, that I am not depriving myself, but feeding my body, good quality food.
You might get the high from the simple sugar, the release of those brain chemicals to make you happy, but I am going to CHOOSE to be grain free.

Still Searching

Well I thought I was racing towards a solution to my not being able to consume wheat type products.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to "never eat wheat". Can it be done? Yes many people do it all the time. But I have a real problem, having to think constantly about what I am eating. Missing good breads, luscious desserts ( how many do you fix without wheat or wheat products?).

After consuming a small amount of what I thought had not caused symptoms, was Delicious (not anything like those nasty rice flour items which are not worth putting in my mouth or stomach) I didn't have stabbing pains in my gut. Well it must of been the amount I ate, or the fat I ate with the meal before, and that I had went a full month without consuming wheat because Friday evening and Saturday I again had ALL the symptoms.
The DR wanted me to schedule an endoscopy for a biopsy the last time I was there guess I need to have it done. The blood tests already say I have the problem, but for a full diagnoses I need the endoscopy.
So disappointed, Its just much easier to resist eating anything with flour.

Sunshine

I love to cook, I spend many of my hours preparing food. I would much rather spend a half hour cutting up vegetables than waiting in line for a table at a resturant.
After spending that time in line, you are still at the mercy of the resturant staff, you wait for you sever, wait for your beverage, wait to have your order taken and then wait for them to prepare it.
If after all this waiting they are prompt with getting your bill to you, you get to observer them acting as if you are taking up space so they can have the table to serve those still standing in line.

I am much more comfortable sitting at home, preparing my own food, and knowing what I am eating.

But the sun is shining. So I want to maximise my time in the kitchen. I want time to play outside.

Watch for upcoming tips and recipes for "Traditionally Healthy". A healthy way to incorporate bulk cooking into your everyday life style.

Cropping

I am really missing getting together and spending a day cropping and chatting.
There are several crops going on in the area in the next couple months.

There is a fund raiser on April 9,
The store in Findlay is having a crop at a hotel in May for National Scrapbook Day. 3 days

If you know of any others email me or call me and maybe we can make plans.
