Still going...

Oh mercy!  Will this food never go away?  Teasing.  We actually have knocked out almost all of our processed food.  The only things left are random things...seasoning packets, pasta, crackers.  We have no intention of getting rid of snack crackers...so I guess we are okay.  haha!

We have had some very random meals over the last week or so.  I have frozen corn and that goes with everything right?!  One night it was mac n cheese for one and soup for another.  Lunch has been even more entertaining.  Pita bread cut into little pizza looking pieces, sliced cheese, sandwich meat, and applesauce.  I think we have had snack trays 3 or 4 times now.  lol!   That is an easy way to have odd, crazy dinners.  The girls have made their own "lunchables".  Whatever it takes though to get rid of all of this stuff.  Geesh!  I sound like a food hoarder.

I have been to the grocery store but that was only for fresh veggies and fruit.  And tuna!  For some reason my daughter has been wanting tuna and crackers.  Crazy!  I have also bought a few other items that I am not ready to confess just yet.  ;)  Insert dead giveaway!!

 

Stopped at the store just today for more fresh items and walked out with several packs of discounted organic meat.  Yay me!  I really wish people would just feed cows and chickens what they are supposed to eat and not all the junk.  Organic can be expensive.  Baby steps!

Coupons!  Subject came up today.  I used to coupon a lot more but the free and dirt cheap stuff is terrible for you.  Not so many coupons for the healthy food.  :(  That is okay though...I am going to jump back in and use them for household/toiletry items.  Woot!

I know I said I would give hubby a week to get all the bad gone...but I am going to ride it out and see how much longer I can stand it.  Of course his next day at work I may slip a few things into the trash.  lol!  Just a few.  ;)

Oh and let me just say...I can tell that I am not eating great.  I think I have put on a few pounds and I don't like it.  Maybe I will throw several things out next work day.  lol!  Happy, healthy eating to you all!

Kitchen makeover....here we go!

Okay so...maybe it's not a kitchen makeover...but a food makeover.  WE are on a mission to eat EVERYTHING in our house.  Well that doesn't exactly like what I mean. 

Let me explain.  I...we...want to eat better.  Actually we have been doing that for sometime now.  However I am the kind of person that likes to scrap it all and start over from scratch.  When I am in...I am in 100%.  I would like to get rid of all of the food we have that is not "healthy".  Hubby on the other hand doesn't want to waste anything.  A few months ago I was able to go ahead and clean out the cabinets a bit...but I need more!  haha!  So hubby and I have come to a compromise...1 week!  We have 1 week to make up random things to eat with what we have here at the house and then after that GONE!  I get to get rid of all of the things that are not so "healthy".  We are on our way to a processed food free home. 

Okay so last night we had vegetable beef soup and it was yummy.   If you knew what was in it...you would know why it was so random.  lol!  Since it was just me and the girls we have plenty left for tonight.  It is hubby's turn to come up with something fun and random tomorrow night.  I can't wait to post tomorrow and let you know what we have for dinner.

I made homemade brownies today.  From scratch...ground my own wheat...the whole nine yards.  lol!  The plan is to rid ourselves of as much processed foods as possible.  There have been a lot of things we have already replaced at our house.  We are a long way from where we need to be but we will get there.

I am excited about the week ahead though.  Going to be fun to see what kind of things we can come up with this week to eat.
