We have moved to another State Jerry has a new job. Praise God
So for a couple weeks we are staying in a Micro Apt. Which means only a micro wave
and top burner. (until we find a home and neighborhood we like)
I refuse let that be excuse to eat junk food. Right now its alot of fruit,nuts, veggies with healthy dressing, water, tuna, grilled chicken for Patience.
And most of the times she will ask for a salad with no chicken or a veggie plate.
I just wanted to take the time to encourage anyone who come across the blog by accident to think about what you allow your kids to eat. I know times are tough and its quicker and easier to open up a can of spaghetti O's. And cheaper. I'm not judging.
What I have learned is food can be simple and just as less eating healthy. Bag of Apples 3.25, carrots sticks 1.25, compared to cookies and chips for lunch.
Those foods have no nutritional value. And it may not effect their weight just yet...
But it could in the future. On our first night here we did go to Ryann's Buffet. And you wanna know what Patience asked for? SALAD. It was a smorgasbord of fattening foods(comfort foods) on the bar. And my sweet girl wanted a huge salad!!!
I hope you tonight you make a point of fixing a healthy meal for your child. Even if it is simple... that's fine also. Nothing wrong with a simple healthy meal. I know in the past when we ate alot of carbs, before we knew better I was making four or five things and Patience was still hungry a hour later.
I just wanted to journal this time, moving to a new city doesn't give a excuse to neglect our health. We can do this!!! Even without a oven. :) And it gives me the opportunity to experiment with more raw food recipes and vegan recipes.
Im sorry if i havent posted pictures lately. I hope to get a new camera cord this week.
Let's face it mine is lost.
