In light of all the flu symptoms flying around in our house, I began taking a look, once again, at our meals, nutrition, vitamins and all the things that make up our daily routine.
Trying to get back into more of a life allowing us to be living well, I have made changes to our diet recently which hopefully will reap great rewards. We have switched to raw milk and I've started grinding my own wheat and making our own bread. I will be picking up durum flour this week so I will soon be grinding our flour for making pasta as well.
As I empty out my pantry, my desire is to see if filled with more nutrient rich staples in our home and no longer filled with processed foods. I have gotten a few books on making your own mixes at home so no need to by seasoning packs that are filled with high sodium or MSG.
As I implement these changes and am homeschooling PW about nutrition along with the changes, they have been accepted more easily than I thought. I was informed today as I reached for sugar to put in my coffee "Mom wouldn't that agave syrup be better? Remember we talked about the GI Joe Windex." After stopping a moment and realizing he was referring to GI (Glycemic Index), I was quick to put the sugar down and go for the better choice.
