This post, a slice of bread with healthy on it, please!

Good delicious- homemade bread!

a quest to eat healthier, cheaper (monetary not quality), and better foods

My two kids are my biggest inspiration when it comes to eating right. I think my son eats healthier than anyone I know. He is very conscientious of the foods that go into his body, that itis automatically tuned into his system that anything that goes in has to be of high beneficial value, or he just doesn’t have it!

My daughter is constantly learning about what foods contain and what they do for us. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with an illness but she took it upon herself to research it and change what she ate. Because of eating healthier and being proactive with her dietary intake, she has basically cured herself. I am so proud of her for that, for the research that they both continually do, and the nutritional choices they make to be healthier!

good rule of thumb

A good rule to follow is, (one that I use now), if I can’t pronounce an ingredient, it’s not coming home with me because more than likely it’s not good for you. If we were to make it a habit to READ the ingredients in packaging labels on the food items we buy, (if you don’t already), you would be blown away and it’s one of the main reason Americans are overweight and in poor health.

I consider myself a very good cook so there’s no excuse to not make delicious, healthy food for my husband and I. I used to do that for my kids when I was home raising them and then I went back to work and that stopped, (mainly due to time constraints). Cooking and planning a menu takes time, but we are worth it.

What does BREAD have to do with being healthy?

Well like anything, too much of a good thing is not good for us, right? But bread isn’t entirely bad for you, it’s the quantity and the quality that affects us.

Instead of buying the crappy store-bought breads, I’ll be posting my favorite recipe. One that I’ve tweaked to include healthier ingredients.

You will love that it’s better tasting, costs way less, AND it won’t go to waste—I promise!
