For anyone that knows me, they know that I was the most limited,
picky eater in the world. My husband eats any and everything. We would fight
for hours about where to go out to dinner, usually it ending in us not going
anywhere. My husband would watch cooking shows like it was "adult
entertainment" – I watched it in disgust. Then things changed.
This past summer all of a sudden I wanted to try things I had
never had before. I was having cravings for things I had never eaten in my
life. I watched cooking shows with excitement and curiosity. My husband insists
that it was all him who changed my taste buds. It wasn't. If it was him, it
would have happened years ago. This past summer I started taking hormones that
made me feel incredible! And as soon as I started taking them, that is when the
taste buds changed. So, whatever it is attributed to, I am loving cooking now.
I want to keep trying new things and continually improve upon the things I had
been making.
We have changed towards organic living. I tried organic eating
years ago, but there just wasn't the options that there are now. We have
switched over to organic products whenever possible. Of course, there are items
that we cannot find in organic, or if they are available, they are just too
outrageously expensive, but I will try my best to give my family only hormone
and antibiotic free, organic products whenever possible. I believe many of the
health problems we are experiencing are due to the garbage chemicals that we
have put into our overly processed food supply.
It is our dream to own an organic farm
someday. In the meantime, we will do everything possible to live as natural as
possible while supporting local suppliers and businesses that buy local. The
only way we can take a proactive stance in our health is by controlling what we
put in our body. And the only way we can trust what we are consuming is by knowing
where our produce, dairy and meat are coming from. This is a journey my family
and I are embarking on. We are continuously learning and I hope to share this newfound knowledge with anyone who is
interested in living a better life!

Thank you! It is a work in process with lots of experimenting. We love new tastes and ways of cooking, but we also like traditional things. I am trying to find the best of the two worlds.
