I've decided that I need to start writing about my food ventures lately. I'm learning to cook more diversely and enjoying it more and more! I've been trying to eat heathy for the past few months. Most of you have probably already done this. However, I've kept myself in the dark about organics, whole foods and the food industry in general. Mostly because I was afraid. Afraid because I knew my eating habits were causing me to feel lousy, fatigued, depressed, you name it. Knowledge is power! I am feeling great! Have more energy, taking vitamins, and respecting my food a lot more because it is organic. I realize that you can't make the change overnight, but just like with yoga, the more you practice, the better you get at it!
I will start working savagely in the next couple of months, so I won't get to enjoy cooking as much. Until then, this blog will be like my food diary to share with friends and family and most importantly, remember some of my own recipes. Please share your ideas with me as much as you like. Happy eating! Happy living!
So much has changed! I remember when Taco Bell was your main food source in S.F. Congrats! I'm positive you are feeling better. Oscar's docs recommend organic, especially dairy (which is the most expensive of course) but one local store started carrying organic milk in glass bottles from a farm near Point Reyes - and it TASTES AWESOME. The difference is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGross, I know. Taco Bell and booze. The diet of aging San Francisco kids! Glad I survived it :-)
ReplyDelete@BookyG - I wish we could get organic milk out here. I will try harder to look. There is a health food store 70 miles away that might possibly sell it. The best we can do out here is "from cows not treated with rbst hormones". I think there is a dairy in the next town over. My mom had suggested seeing if they sell raw/organic milk but I haven't gotten around to it. In the meantime, I just don't drink too much milk. I'd like to get a milk goat and learn how to make cheese but my husband doesn't trust me to milk it everyday! Will just take a little more persuasion I think.
