I'm kind of breaking away from the normal use of this blog and decided to set up a recipe blog so anyone can see what exactly this crazy family eats every day. We are very consistent and dedicated to good health. We have a unique way of eating that has brought us health and happiness.

my kind of dinner!

yea...it's pretty nice...During soccer/dance season we have it way more than I'd like to admit...may have to stop blogging our dinners for awhile to save face. :)

Sarah it's been interesting to get a glimpse of your family's diet. Thanks for posting this.

Kim and I have both made changes over the past few months to eat better and I think we've seen positive results.

One question that I've wondered for a while.... I notice one of my all-time favorite food items has yet to show up on your menu...namely PEANUT BUTTER!!! I absolutely LOVE PB (usually with a bit of honey and maybe walnuts on wheat bread) and consider it an essential part of my diet and happy deameanor. So I'm just wondering...is there anything fundamentally bad about peanut butter? Please say it ain't so!

BTW as I'm typing I'm also reading the back of the bag of Hershey's All Natural Extra Dark Chocolate that Kim gave me for Father's Day and it tells me that my Extra Dark has just slightly less antioxidant capacity than 1 cup of Blueberries. So I think I'll have another piece...maybe dipped in peanut butter :-)

I eat several PB/honey/whole wheat break/garlic sandwiches a day.

From Tom on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 16:05:27

Ahhh glad to hear it Sasha. However I think you should replace the garlic with extra dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate...I'm trying to talk Sasha into that one still...yes and he really does eat pb and garlic sandwiches....yuck. I don't really like PB and J so I only make it if there is a real emergency. Lately my emergency food has been raisin bran and all of my kids love that. I'm so glad you enjoy my postings...like a lot of things in my life I can do a little bit. Sorry no fancy pictures or gormet ideas but I thought it would be fun to see how we really do eat...thanks again.

Could smell that garlic this morning:)

Kim and I have both developed a fondness for raisin bran as a primary breakfast food of choice, we like to embellish it with nuts, granola, cranberries, etc.

Garlic on the other hand.....let me just say there have been a few unfortunate incidents in our house regarding garlic and it has NOT become a food staple.

I won't go into detail but I'll just say that a husband shouldn't make any negative comments to his wife regarding post-lunch garlic-breath at a time when his wife happens to be feeling a bit amorous....not wise unless you want the wife to not feel very amorous again for a good long while :-)

I was so excited when they came out when a healthier version of raisin bran I nearly cried. I LOVE raisin bran and can afford the $7 for two big bags that they sell at Costco...if we eat it occasionally.

Our oats breakfast is DIRT CHEAP because we buy 400 lbs at a time and store it in buckets in our basement as part of our year supply.

And on the subject of garlic..um..well let's just say that I must be a vampire...because sometimes it keeps me away...

Ted (army runner) who ran with Sasha every morning for 2 years straight before his knee problems probably has suffered garlic smells almost more than a good solider should bear.

What is for lunch tomorrow Mommy maybe buckwheat with cheese yum..yum.
