1. Toast for breakfast -I made bread yesterday with wheat berries I ground, raw honey, grapeseed oil (I hope to produce enough lard or butter next year to eliminate the oil) salt, yeast, water and a dough enhancer (want to find a way to replace this too). On the toast we had real butter and cinnamon sugar made with natural sugar cane and cinnamon.
2. Egg salad sandwiches and popcorn for lunch - again bread from yesterday (I made 10 loaves), eggs, organic mayonnaise (havent found a good recipe for homemade yet-want to subsitute salad dressing made with milk, homemade sour cream and fresh herbs in the future), salt and popcorn made with popcorn kernels and lard.
3. Spaghetti, Italian bread and salad for dinner - homemade pasta made with flour, eggs and salt, homemade spaghetti sauce made with our meat, tomatoes, homemade tomato paste, fresh herbs, sugar and salt and salad from our garden.
For those wanting to get healthy and change the way the food is made in this country buy voting with their fork, here are our basic rules:
1. Don't buy anything in a box or package (that means all the middle aisles of the grocery store pretty much).
2. Read labels -if you dont know what it is, it isnt a food (this includes hygiene products as well).
3. If something that should be refrigerated isnt its so full of chemicals you dont want it in your body.
4. Dont buy meat, eggs or dairy from the grocery store-its produced from CAFO's who load their animals full of antibiotics, growth hormones and all sorts of other nasty stuff. Find a local supplier through local harvest, real milk or other sites promoting local growers.
5. Cook real food, with recipes, from scratch.
6. Try to find a local whole foods coop if you can.
Off my soap box for now...
