It all starts at the grocery store!

- Whole Wheat Egg Noodles

I probably have 6 different types of fruits and vegetables in my freezer. I have just found that it is easier and I waste less produce if I buy the packaged frozen stuff from Sams (of course fresh is better, I'm just trying to be realistic for what I can handle). We also bought a half a grass fed cow (very important to get grass fed), and I stock up on chicken when its on sale. So normally I don't have to buy meat on my normal grocery shopping visits. Good luck shopping, if you don't bring home anything bad for you then its easier to stay healthy. You can pick what your kids eat, even if you have picky eaters. Mine are really picky and really live off of fruit, bread, and string cheese. They started out eating a lot worse until they got what I feed them or nothing. My parenting technique is they will eat when there hungry and when there hungry enough they will eat anything. We need to be teaching our kids healthy habits. So if we only buy foods that are healthy for them then they have no option to eat anything else. Most importantly you are the parent so do what you know is best!
