In Search of Health and Wellness

Since becoming a mother of two I've tried to be healthier. Carlos and I are both small people. We have been blessed with high metabolisms and have never really had to work to keep weight off. But then my kids got to the age of needing regular balanced meals and I figured, now's a good time to start being more aware of what we're putting in our mouths. I haven't gone completely off grid and started eating cardboard, but I do try to make as much from scratch as I can. We eat a lot of fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains, etc. I make my own yogurt, banana ice cream, granola, breads and so on. Getting my kids to eat their veggies is still like pulling teeth but it's baby steps, right?....errr,... right?
So I was pretty thrilled the other day when B came into the kitchen and told me "my tummy is still grumbly. Can I have some salad?" Heck yes you can. Here! Can I get you a side of Kale, steamed broccoli or spaghetti squash with that?!

The salad was all she wanted but don't think I didn't try to take advantage of her sudden interest in greens. It was a success in my book. I'll take it!
