I’ve probably mentioned this in bits and pieces before, but Kolby and I are in the midst of overhauling our eating habits. Since the beginning of this year, we’ve been researching nutrition and trying to get more informed about better health choices when it comes to the food we stock our kitchen with. [We’re also trying to exercise more (ok, at all), but that isn’t going well at the moment and I don’t even want to think about Jillian Michaels and her stupid 30-Day Shred right now.]
There is a lot of different research and opinions out there, but the line of thinking that we’ve decided to hitch our wagons to is the very simple idea that eating “real food”—food that is traditional and natural and has been consumed for generations and generations—is a better health choice than eating the highly processed and industrial foods that have cropped up in the fairly recent past. In an effort to eat more of these wholesome and nutritious “real” foods, we’ve made some changes to what we buy and where we buy it from.
Enter the new Real Food page on our blog, which will chronicle our journey to eating more healthful foods. Let me start by saying the motivation behind this new page stems almost solely from the fact that I really enjoy blogging, and my recent interest in nutrition and food is just one more thing that I can write about. But maybe it’s a topic that you guys would be interested in, too, and we can share what we all know and think and cook. Or maybe no one cares—which is why I’m tucking it away on a separate page :)
So, the link is there on the top of the page. Visit if you wish. We’re still learning and I’d love to hear your thoughts or knowledge or good recipes, either on or off the blog.
In other news, we’re headed down to my parents’ ranch to spend Labor Day weekend with my dad’s side of the family. I was talking to my mom on the phone last night to finalize plans for the meal we’re in charge of fixing and she said, “Well, there will only be 15 or 16 of us still there on Monday.” I feel like using “only” to describe a group of 16 people falls into the category of ‘you know you have a big family when…’ Everyone except my cousin that is currently overseas will make it for the weekend… summing to 22 of us for 3 days under 1 roof. My dad only has two sisters, so I’m not sure where all of these people came from. Marriage really has a multiplying effect, I guess. We’re excited for the fun weekend!
