We always TRY & buy/ cook/ eat clean.
Meaning fresh, organic NON-GMO, grass feed/, nothing processed (except Amy's Ketchup DH 's )
The least added ingredients, like Braggs salad dressings. We dont eat out, I cook 3 meals a day. You do what you can, not everyone has assess to good groceries or can grow a garden.

We are the same way. I do buy a few processed things like nut free granola bars for both kids snacks at school and Kraft mac n cheese (good ole comfort food). And we don't eat "traditional" meals at our house, if someone wants a salad or pasta for breakfast that is what they eat. My thought is your body knows what it needs and it isn't always eggs or toast in the morning but a big bowl of veggies or chicken.

We also don't eat out unless it is a special occasion, like a birthday, and even then we usually bring it home and add to it.

So hard to find like minded families for our children but we have found a couple.

You are 100% correct! In absence of foods with added flavor, our sense of taste guides us toward nutrients we need.

love to make rice bowls,
I cook up a pot of rice, a pot of black beans, in summer a bowl of greens but in winter I sprout , and we add things on top, onion -cilantro- green chili- what ever you want,, I do once in a while go in a nd get sour cream and guacamole

Bu you can d the same with pasta, just keep a pot of precooked pasta in the fridge and everyone can mix it up when ever.
I get my sprout seed from True Leaf Market / Handy Pantry

Rice and pasta bowls sound so delish! Unfortunately, hard to do on carb restricted diet. I'll bet I could make a decent one with cauliflower rice. Hmmm, will have to put my thinking cap on.

It's a cool, sunny morning. It's supposed to rain on Wednesday, so I think I'll do something outside today.

Second cup here. Bought two pie pumpkins yesterday. Going to make the wife some pumpkin bread today

The bread didn't happen. Cut the pumpkins open, and they were rotted inside.

In fact, a whole lot of nothing happened yesterday except for changing the furnace filter
