Well, it's currently 7:15 A.M. here so "Good morning Rosemary!" (and everyone else.....)
I was just going through some older post I marked to go read posted before I joined here.
Rosemary it sure sounds like you have come a long way since Oct. 2017 when you posted:

You truly are an inspiration!
Now I am
TRYING to clean my kitchen. With a bunch of other people living here it makes it difficult sometimes!
I look at it this way: Since I'm the mama a majority of food selection falls on me. However, everyone is use to current diets. Now to the best of my knowledge none of us have food
ALLERGIES. But that doesn't mean we may not have food
SENSITIVITIES.
I'm beginning to realize that much of what I thought was just body acne all my life very well just may be my body becoming inflamed and reacting to dietary things.
I get so overwhelmed sometimes when trying to clean out the kitchen! Because once I get rid of junk it has to be replaced with SOMETHING. I don't always know what to replace things with...…..
It is a good time of year to do this though! Every spring/summer hubby goes through this phase of "my body is craving more salads and fresh foods"...….. so I think it's a good time to switch things up and get everyone on better track. I am fortunate with the kiddos too! They LOVE broccoli (although after a while we can get burn out on even healthy favorites) Another big hit around here is corn, (however I seem to recall reading somewhere that corn causes some of the same issues as wheat
...…......….)
I am also looking for alternative beverages to simply make at home. Water of course being the best, and again I am blessed fortunate mama b/c my kids do enjoy their water
(and
as I type this I am ashamed to say there is a can of high fructose corn syrup, carbonated water, sugar infested
by me)
Water doesn't always "quinch the thirst" for me. Or at least doesn't
FEEL like it does. On the other hand, this can of
makes that feeling go away, but does leave the rest of me feeling negative effects. I do enjoy lemon slices in the water sometimes, but need a little more variety. Everyone here is a fan of homemade sweet tea, but here we go with the sugar again...….. I'm wondering what it would be like to use something like "truvia" in place of regular sugar here. Like what would the measured swap amounts be?
Now I LOVE to be in my kitchen and baking is my strongest point there
(Gotta admit I LOVE when we do end up out somewhere and the dessert comes by, because even though the kids devour stuff and "mmmm" over it they still stop and say " I like mommy's better!"
) So looking for healthy ways to remake favorites.
