Admittedly I've entered into newer technological experiences rather hesitantly. I literally went kicking and screaming into the world of Facebook and texting. I will add, however, that I'm very glad to be in the midst of both. Not only am I able to "stalk" my young adult and teenage children on FB, I'm also able to keep up with old and new friends from around the country. And texting, well, is there a better way to send the same message to four offspring with a modicum of effort? It's not that I don't have time to communicate with my children, it's just so gosh darn convenient! But I digress...
For the past year or so I've been stepping into the "clean eating" realm; sometimes lightly, and sometimes with great force, yet always with thoughts of creating a healthier lifestyle. Lately, it's really stuck. Cooking with whole foods and almost always from scratch has it's challenges however. As a full-time worker and single mom, time is limited; and there's always my Bikram yoga addiction to consider (5-7 days per week...) All that being said, clean eating demands time planning, organizing and cooking. In a nutshell, to change my eating habits I've had to change my life by prioritizing how I spend my free time, ie. weekends. And happily, I've found that I greet my Friday afternoon planning time with glee.
New recipes and blogs are my good friends. I've taken to posting on my FB status what I'm cooking almost every Saturday. Often friends will request the recipes; and not too long ago the baby of the family said, "Mom, you need to start a blog." So here I am, hoping that this adventure will help me to organize and share the recipes; and thus help create a healthier world.
