Ahh, well this whole transition thing kinda set me back as far as my "healthy" eating is concerned. I don't understand how people with a hectic schedule can eat anything but quick and easy which is not always healthy. Being on the road all the time you stop here and stop there and before you know it you're bulging everywhere just like the picture of my unfinished scarecrow. I wasn't even able to bake my bread for a long time and Vince let me know the store bought stuff just wasn't the same. He says it doesn't hold him as long.
So I finally got back to baking the bread, cooking my beans, and yesterday I bought a rice cooker because we eat so much rice. I'm cooking the beans (dried) in my crock pot which is amazing. Although we stumbled for awhile we are back on track now. Although I must say moving to Henderson is making it more difficult. Can you believe Wal-Mart can have two full aisles of candy and not one container of vegetable broth!!! I had to make my own. There are a few other things I have a hard time finding but I'm sure we will adjust and just make those monthly runs to Whole Foods.
Even my tomato loving dog is eating healthy thanks to the garden. First it was a race to see who could pick the tomatoes first then came radishes and now today I caught her actually picking a collard leaf and devouring it. Either she's not getting enough food (she's fed 3 times a day) or she just loves her veggies. I actually had a lady get upset with me because I don't feed them a meat based diet and I know they are carnivores but all the meat based foods irritate her allergies really bad. I do however buy canned meat only dog foods and try to give them some on a fairly regular basis. I'd love to find a local source for fresh meat bones maybe I can talk to one of the local butchers about saving us some.
