I can't get home from work and have no plan for dinner at all. That's for sure. Otherwise it's hot dogs and easy mac again!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670351874835196302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865275018331228094.post-86533561073821920072010-04-07T15:04:12.172-05:002010-04-07T15:04:12.172-05:00I used to hate the fact that my kids had food alle...I used to hate the fact that my kids had food allergies and I couldn't just pop in a frozen dinner for them, instead of cooking.<br /><br />But, it is exactly THAT reason that I LOVE their food allergies. My four-year-old has never had anything processed in his life, it would make him sick. So, I have to make EVERYTHING myself...which means, a MUCH healthier meal for everyone. I also do not cook two meals...well, because technically I'd have to cook 3 different meals as 2 of my kids have different allergies. I make ONE meal that EVERYONE can eat. <br /><br />I know, it's strange, but I do thank God for their allergies, it is making us ALL healthier, because we eat NO processed foods!<br /><br />Good for you though, Kelly. It is hard, but SO worth it!Jeff and Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122362507593581131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865275018331228094.post-71275902948214269042010-04-07T12:00:40.288-05:002010-04-07T12:00:40.288-05:00Heidi, that's an interesting take on the healt...Heidi, that's an interesting take on the healthcare debate that we all can do for ourselves. Something tangible. Good thoughts.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670351874835196302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865275018331228094.post-84500403758390880642010-04-07T10:14:17.180-05:002010-04-07T10:14:17.180-05:00Kelly, 12 years into parenting, and I sooooo relat...Kelly, 12 years into parenting, and I sooooo relate with you!!!!! I just heard about the Food Revolution show this morning on the radio, and I am very intrigued.<br /><br />Last week I caught a few minutes of Dr. Oz. Someone asked him about his thoughts on the healthcare legislation. His response was something along the lines of - If Americans would focus as much time, money, and attention on losing weight and acting healthy as they are on this legislation, then we would not have a healthcare crisis. Obesity is a huge source of the problem - no pun intended. <br /><br />After hearing that, I thought about the helplessness/hopelessness that I feel towards healthcare.... We know that Saten is the author of helplessness and hopelessness!! We are engaging in healthcare solutions by promoting victorious, healthy eating and exercise programs. I find that approach freeing and exciting, rather than hopeless!<br /><br />I do that exact same thing with my kids as you do - feed them quick and easy, while I eat more healthy. I have been thinking about how I need to change that habit. My Tyler is addicted to sugar in a big, bad way!! He drives crazy with his begging for sugary snacks - yet I know that I have created the monster! I am inspired by your blog entry!Heidi Winter Trachthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371650902504298131noreply@blogger.com
