yes, i think we're way too obsessed...hi there.<br /><br />yes, i think we're way too obsessed these days. i started to get that way some years back. but in all our focus on healthy, i believe that the over thinking of it is unhealthy!<br /><br />the 'food rules' are really there because so many people eat terribly unhealthy, fake foods.<br /><br />but for the average mindful person, wecan eat ice cream, chocolate, white bread, because we also eat fresh fruit and veg.<br /><br />we need to stop making food an enemy to conquer i think.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510579902206649288.post-9942153394872176152010-08-12T22:04:36.565-06:002010-08-12T22:04:36.565-06:00Well said!

I don't worry much about calories or fat, particularly if it's so good that it's worth it. ;) I liked the advice that I got from a fitness instructor once about sweets. She said, "if you're going to eat sweets, just be sure you bake them yourself". I think that's a good way to ensure moderation and to stick to real food.Dawnhttp://renaissancemama.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510579902206649288.post-8746683413319766002010-08-12T11:33:17.517-06:002010-08-12T11:33:17.517-06:00The "food rules" can really get you down...The "food rules" can really get you down and I think you're on the right track when you mention eating more real food, prepared at home using real ingredients.<br /><br />We stick to strictly organic where milk and some fruit is concerned but that is all the budget allows.<br />We raise our own chickens for fresh eggs and this year we will be buying 100 lbs. of grass fed beef from a friend. Still I do buy and use food from cans and jars and we enjoy the odd bag of chips/cookies.<br /><br />I think people can put themselves under too much stress trying to fall into line with someone else's expectations. Do what you can and let the rest go and don't forget to enjoy what you eat!!!<br /><br />Good post Michelle :0)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824248962807980412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510579902206649288.post-29154593418148974112010-08-12T10:49:05.077-06:002010-08-12T10:49:05.077-06:00GREAT post, Michelle!
Andy (just like Paul) care...GREAT post, Michelle! <br /><br />Andy (just like Paul) cares only for one thing: that his food is yummy-- and hearty-- and hot. :) So I, just like you, am cooking and serving REAL food, GOOD food, that we can enjoy and that will remind all of us at home, whenever a waft of someone's good home cookin' comes our way. :)<br /><br />And then we exercise and drink lots of water and... I'm not losing any sleep at night. :) (Like I used to if I happened to serve eggs too many times in one week, or if I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil, or if I served red meat more often than I thought prudent.... you get the idea).<br /><br />I just ordered The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Can't wait till it drops in my mailbox!!!<br /><br />(psst... email me anytime) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471641245888346516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510579902206649288.post-19602690418974233332010-08-12T08:05:25.515-06:002010-08-12T08:05:25.515-06:00Since I have the market I have been feeling better...Since I have the market I have been feeling better about what we are eating -- especially fresh fruit and vegetables. <br />But tonight we are having bolognese with WHITE rigatoni and garlic bread. <br /><br />Lyse<br /><br />PS I can't wait for the cold weather for brisket, stews and a roast like you pictured -- with gravy.Lyse, Ebony, and Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560716194054568289noreply@blogger.com
