A few years ago I read some books and articles that opened my eyes and left my jaw on the floor. I learned more about our nations food supply, the processes our 'food' undergoes before reaching our table, and the impact all of that is having on the earth. That in conjunction with a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, has led me to put a lot of time and effort into learning how to cook meals that are truly healthy, using ingredients that are as fresh and as close to their natural stat as I can. There is a huge learning curve, and I have only just begun. This blog is to document my progress and to note recipes that work for my family within my criteria. My general rules of thumb are from Michael Pollan "eat food, not too much, mostly plants" and "don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food"
