Yes, that is right, I want to pick your brain. I know so many of you out there have a wealth of knowledge you are just waiting to share. Since before getting pregnant, I have been thinking about ways I could help my family move to a better, healthier lifestyle. Specifically in the food department. Now I am not one to just jump on the latest and greatest fads so I am not going to run out and buy all Organic because some hippie says its the only way (no offence Hippie friends). And lets just face it, my son and hubby would not be very welcoming to tofu at dinner...they would think I've gone crazy (no offence to those of you who serve tofu). Really I am not trying to offend everyone today...Anyway---So what I am wanting to do is find a few simple ways that I can start slowly changing our eating habits. And without it costing us an arm and a leg. Honestly, when I walk into Whole Foods, I about flip out at how much things cost. For those of you who know me you already realize that I pay full price for nothing. So spending the extra $2 on organic Peanut butter or Organic milk causes me to question...is it really worth it??
So, this morning while eating my bowl of Grape Nuts with Organic Milk, I was trying to do some research online about if organic milk really was better than regular milk. There is so much information out there, and part of it says there is no difference and part of it says there is a big difference. Which is it!? I don't have the time right now to sit and research every little item. Then it dawned on me, many of you have either already done the research or have just learned from trial and error...so why not ask you guys!?
Are you ready?? Here is the question: If you were on a strict budget and could only afford a few healthy items at the grocery store, what one, two, or three items would you say 'I can't live without___.' or This item makes biggest difference in my families healthy eating....
Now remember, go easy on me, we aren't going to start growing Kele in our backyard (however I did just start a little herb garden) or eating fish for breakfast. But are Organic fruits and veggies really that much better? Please help!
NOTE: Please realize that the picture is just a joke. I do realize the obvious that soft drinks, processed foods, and sweets are not part of healthy living. I also know that 'whole grain' bread is suppose to be better than white, drinking water is good for you, and edamame is a good source of protein.
