Healthy eating.

We have been making a big effort to make our diet as healthy as possible.

We are enjoying plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts. We still eat meat, chicken and fish, but less than we used to. We probably have 2 vegetarian dinners per week.

We have been making a lot of our own foods that one might often buy pre made. Things like tomato/vegetable sauces, soups, minced(ground) meats and chicken, chicken nuggets and even pasta and bread (not all the time!)
We also enjoy making apple sauce, toasted muesli (granola) almond milk, nut and seed mixes and healthy muffins.

We have noticed a difference in the boys eating habits and their tastes. We are eating far less processed foods, and far less sugar. They now enjoy much less sweet foods.

As im blogging from my iphone, I cant comment on individual photos, so...
The following pics are: (sorry if the order is wrong, this app is painful!)

OH MY that looks yummy!
We too have been taking extra steps to eating healthier. Making the transition to a plant based diet sans dairy, milk, eggs, cheese - cant wait for squeaky clean insides. :)
