Yes, I believe in Organic Foods! I think they are the way to go. We all know with all the literature out there now that conventional foods are laden with pesticides and are genetically modified. I need to get a recommended list of books up and going. I hate citing research and crap. I leave that up to the husband. Maybe I can get him to do a few posts this weekend. Anyways, I don't worry about fruits with peels as much like bananas and avocados, but I don't compromise on fruits like apples!
Oh and by the way just b/c something is organic, especially certified USDA (the government just has to be involved) does not mean it is healthy for you or that the farmers are not getting away with using some bad crap. Read between the lines here. Just because they have to tell what they are doing, doesn't mean you might like what they are using! Try finding local farms that may not be certified but are practicing at an even higher ethical level than the certified farms. Read here under Costs...many small farms can't afford it or they don't want to be regulated. Good lick...I found these farms in Texas, but not in AZ! I guess the best way would be to grown your own, huh? We want to do this so bad! We hope to take on this adventure soon.
By the way:
I am not going to keep writing organic in front of everything I eat that is organic! You get the point. I'll put an "o." in front of something that is organic.
I Am What I Eat:
- Breakfast was a small o. banana, an o. red delicious apple and an o. orange.
- Sipping on Decaf Kombucha Green Tea-homemade and iced.
- Snacked on air-popped popcorn w/olive oil and sea salt
- Lunch was yummy home made tofu, veggie fried rice (in olive oil) with garlic and ginger. I had 2 bowls! I was very hungry apparently. I like this dish b/c I had fat, grains, protein from tofu and a few servings of veggies!
- Cherry Larabar
- Tonight is more of a snacking night just b/c I couldn't make it to the store. I've had a handful of Trader Joe's Veggie and Flax tortilla chips, a few bites of the kids pb&j (o. pb and o. jelly on sprouted bread), a glass of chocolate soy milk (first time I've had it and it'd delicious...by VitaSoy) and I think I'm going to make some edamame beans with sea salt!
Nope. It was raining all day and seeing as I have no car, the only thing I can do is walk outside. That's ok though, I was sore last night from my walk (pelvis and whatnot).
Overall and Tomorrow's Goals
I did great today. I ate when I was hungry and all great for me foods. I think I'll reward myself with a nice hot bath (with no kids) and read a book! Now that's yummy!
Tomorrow I need to do a little shopping to make sure I have good food in the house. Also, I want to take the kids and go on a walk with Brandon. That'll be fun! I also want to go to the Library and get some Vegan cookbooks. I might get bored of rice for every meal!

Here's a low-cal, yummo little vegan snack that I eat all the time--plain lite soy milk (kind of hard to drink alone, but really good in a smoothie), one or two bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla. Toss it in a blender. It makes a great, quick breakfast or a good afternoon snack!
Yum! Thanks Amy. I let you know when I try it. BTW, Brandon is always reading your blog. We couldn't believe that pageant girl. Holy cow that was hilarious.
