Eating real food and not the processed boxed stuff is what our grandparents and great grandparents grew up on. Why do we seem to try and make everything so convenient?! My husband and I are trying to eat real food. It's hard. We are used to the convenience just like everyone else in America. But I want to slow down and take the time to make wholesome meals for my family and slow down my life where I am not rushing to and fro. But, it's easier said than done.

I'd like to make a goal for myself and my family. I would like to accomplish this goal by May 1, 2009. We'll see what happens. The goal is............to eat one wholesome meal at least once a day every day. I would like it to be at least two meals but let's take it a little slow.

We believe in eating traditional foods, such things that are described in "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon. Also, we are incorporating fermented vegetables into our meals also. Things like sauerkraut, lacto-fermented dill pickles, etc. We'll see how it goes.

But please, go visit Nourishing Days. She talks about real food and really helps you to understand why and how easy it is to start nourishing our bodies with real traditional food.
