Keeping myself busy...

OK, so we do have a few other things going on besides just taking care of Addison.. even though I know that is what you guys wanna hear about :-)
Since I am at home, I am going to attempt to make our meals at home. This will be a lot healthier and cheaper. I found a website that has a lot of information about healthy living www.passionatehomemaking.com So, since I am feeling much better these days, I am starting my adventure! I made my meal plan for the week, made my shopping list and was off to the store. James is very excited about the recipes. The foods are mostly unpasteurized, without preservatives, and include fruits and veggies! I had to google a few ingredients like spelt, rapadura, and kefir. I discovered new areas of the grocery store that I have never been to before. All the recipes are from scratch. James said, "this is all you need for a weeks worth of meals?" So here we go... a new adventure for me. Our grocery bill was a fraction of the cost and James is looking forward to our meals. We even had to have tomorrows breakfast tonight because we couldn't wait til the morning to try it. We had oatmeal (rolled oats) with flax seed, dried cranberries and blueberries, chopped apples, raw honey, cinnamon, butter and milk. YUMMY! It only took a few minutes to make!
Tomorrow James is off to work, so I will be preparing much of the recipes for the week ahead. First on the list is making granola. (its first, just because I like it! and wanna snack on it)
SO... that's the adventure I am embarking on. Hopefully it will last :-S I will try to let you know how it goes.
