  It was a weekend of good food. We love good food. How about you? Here’s what we ate –

Saturday Dinner –

Ravioli with my tomato sauce and mozeralla cheese

Salad with green leaf lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes and green onion, topped with an Italian salad dressing.

Garlic bread

Ice cream bar

Sunday Brunch –

Scrambled farm fresh eggs with Cheese

Sausage

Toast with butter and honey

Black grapes

Sunday Dinner

Steak

Salad (repeat of the previous salad)

Fresh green beans

All three of those meals were about 20 minutes to the table.

I figure the ravioli dinner ran about $4 per person.

The steak dinner, about $5.50 per person.

The brunch, about $2 per person.

A little more than I usually spend on dinners, but it was Mothers Day afterall!

What foods were not very good for us? Do you know?

The Ravioli was packaged and contained a lot of ingredients that no food loving Italian would have put in their food. Additives, GMO oils, and I don’t even want to think about the quality of the meat. That’s why I usually make mostaciolli.

The sausage is fatty and full of nitrates. The jury is out on this one. One Doctor is saying nitrates actually are good for you. I don’t know about that. But a couple pieces once in a while …

But the worst cultprits?

It was a tie.

The bottled salad dressing is full of GMO oils and corn syrup. So is the ice cream bar. OK, the ice cream bar has more calories, but we don’t care about calories.

And we took a walk both days.

It pains me that I haven’t been able to totally remove prepared foods from our diet, but the truth is – I live in the real world just like you do. There’s only 24 hours in the day.

But, little by little, I’ve been able to remove more of the toxic foods. While I’m well aware that no amount of these foods are safe, I hope that I have minimized the risk.

And lets face it – the older we get, the more important it is to try and maintain our health. Its a choice between good food, or living on drugs.

Of course the added benefit is – When you choose good food, you won’t have to worry about dieting.

Have you started making the change yet?

Remember that little changes add up to big results. Make one little change today.

 

 

There is a push by the US government to make Labeling GMO foods illegal – WORLDWIDE. If this passes, even the countries that have so far fended off GMOs will be powerless. Monsanto will continue to gain control over all food – period.

How do you feel about that?

If your voice has not been heard on the subject – WHY NOT?
