Today's blog is about the reason I cook from scratch. I believe that I have been called to be a stay at home at this point in my life. I take great joy in where God has asked me to serve. So when I cook, I cook with this love!
Please know that our family is not perfect. We struggle and celebrate just like many other families. Food is an issue that most people have to deal with at some point in their life. I just want to help my children understand why we eat healthy. It is not to be "mean", to restrict my kids or keep them from being children. It is the fact that I want my children to not struggle with food, to enjoy the flavors of their food, and to try new things.
I am proud to say since we began this journey of healthy eating about a year ago, my children have found out they enjoy the following foods:
black beans
edamame
cooked carrots
raw carrots
potatoes
kiwi
quinoa
almonds
yogurt (Greek with honey)
We still have some more strides to make. However, I know that I have found out for myself that cooking unites us. It makes our time special. Yes, we are one of those families that eats together 7 nights a week. It won't always be this way but for now, I am taking every gift I get!
Happy Eating! Enjoy!
