Our $25 brownie experiment
Twinkle Toes has been learning about healthy eating this year for science using the book Nutrition 101: Choose Life. It's been a learning experience for all of us. Yesterday she made some super healthy, super expensive bar cookies. They called for organic carob chips, organic raw almond butter, and blue agave nectar. I had to make a trip to Natural Grocers just to get the ingredients. It called for an entire 16 oz jar of almond butter! The verdict? Not bad as far as taste, but my wallet took a hit. Was it worth it? Let's just say we won't be making them for our church fellowship this Sunday. Maybe we can save up and make them again next month : ). This healthy eating sure is a lot of trouble! Are sugar and chocolate really that bad? On second thought, don't answer that. Ignorance is bliss.

- I'm an on-the-run mom to 6 kids who studied and taught exercise science in a previous life. I love all things running, nutrition, and health-related. I usually run at zero dark thirty in the morning and am often quite hungry before, during, and after my run, but I live a rich, full, blessed life with my children, family, and friends. My faith in God is my anchor, and looking to Him and His promises allows me to live fully even when life circumstances are difficult. While running gives me an appetite, my desire is to hunger and thirst for righteousness more than for physical food.
hahahah I love your last comment! When it comes to eating healthy I am passionate. however I myself am not always consistent :(
ReplyDeleteIf I were to give one advice to anyone trying to change things about what we feed our families, I always say the most important things to go organic/natural on are MILK (and most dairy products like butter), EGGS, WHEAT, SOY (or eating no soy would be even better sometimes)CORN, and all produce. Things like brownies......ummm just go with the good stuff. just my 2 cents :)
