Many things can affect the quality, taste, and safety of  our water, some  are out of our control.  It wouldn’t be difficult to  spend thousands of  dollars on whole house filtration systems, under the counter models, and even shower filters. But, what about those of us that don’t have the money in our budget? I know that I want clean, healthy drinking water.

Martha, from the Ultimate Women’s Expo, asked what I did for the best water. Well, I don’t know that I have the “best” water, but I do think it is acceptable. We have used the Brita Water Pitcher but have been advised the Zero water pitcher is a better choice. If I had my choice, and money was no object, I would have a whole house filtration system. You can get under the counter, and on the counter models as well. When choosing what will work best for your family, make sure you know the cost of the filters, and how often they need to be replaced. This can make a big difference in the cost of  your water filtration system over the course of a year.

When we buy bottled water I buy Crystal Geyser or Walmart Brand water. Fuji is the best bottled water but it is pricey. Crystal Geyser has a good  pH and no fluoride. I recently found out that Walmart water,while it has a good pH, has fluoride in it. Right now these are the best budget conscious choices for my family. It may not be the “best” but it fits within our budget.

Journey to Healthy Eating Cookbook

In this cookbook I will give you recipes for real families in the real world that are healthy, great tasting and budget friendly. Don’t worry you won’t eat grass or seaweed. I use ingredients commonly found in most grocery stores. These recipes are kid tested and hubby approved!  Stay tuned for a wonderful resource

Journey to Gluten Free Cookbook

This book has been a true labor of love. I have converted my traditional recipes from Journey to Healthy Eating Cookbook into Gluten Free alternatives. Because my husband loves bread and baked goods so much I have spent considerable  time and energy in creating a  Gluten Free Flour Mix you can make at home! Through trial and error I have come up with a really good, moist, sandwhich bread that you can make for much less than those overpriced dry loaves at the Health Food Stores. How would you like to enjoy sandwhiches, garlic bread, brownies and delicious chocolate chip cookies?? I even created a wonderful gluten free pound cake recipe! But it’s not just about baked goods. How about Chinese Chicken and Vegetables or chicken fried rice? Fried Chicken tenders, Porkchops with mushroom gravy, Chicken Caccaitore and so much more

Journey to Easy Menu Planning System

Want to make life even easier? I have come up with a menu planning system you can create at home that will make meal time and planning for them so much easier. Let’s take the stress out of the dreaded question……. “Mom, whats for dinner?” You can make your own or get my menu planning system along with my cookbook of your choice. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have your meals planned out for the next week, 2 weeks or even an entire month. Just imagine opening your menu planning book and having all three meals with recipes and ingredients listed all together.  Wouldn’t your children love being able to get mom’s planner out and be able to prepare a family favorite meal all on their own. This system will accomplish just that. Not only will it make life easier, it will save you money! No more last minute trips to the store for those missing ingredients. You will be able to scan your pantry and freezer to see what is on hand and how many meals you can put together before you hit the grocery store!

I will be sending out an e-mail when they are ready! I can’t wait to share them with you!!

You may be thinking you will have to spend hours clipping coupons and going to a dozen different stores and you don’t have the time for all that foolishness, well neither do I! I will use coupons and sometimes I shop at different stores but there are ways of going about this that will streamline things into something you can and will do.

The first thing you must do is make a decision. What exactly do you want and why. Why do you want to eat a healthier diet? Are you wanting to get healthy, loose weight, treat an illness? The answers to these questions will have a huge impact on how you implement your new way of eating.   My walk into healthy eating started because I had a baby with some food intolerance and later realized she had ADHD. We have prayerfully chosen to treat her naturally through diet and supplements as well as any other therapies we find helpful. For our family it is really important that my daughter eats only organic meat. The hormones in meat, especially beef are particularly hard on her. We will eat deer and bison as well as a lot of chicken. Our budget sometimes prevents the whole family from eating  the organic roast.  Sometimes we have to give Faith what it is she needs and we eat what we can afford. I prefer  to eat the same healthy food on a regular basis but you do what you have to. In our home we have eliminated  pork, we eat a lot of chicken. We also eat many meatless meals.

We are planning a move to a property that would be suitable to have a large garden and hopefully some chickens too. I have implemented many strategies to enable us to feed Faith the kind of food she needs to eat to be healthy and to  treat her food intolerances. The reality of  that is sometimes I cook 2 meals, one for Faith with the organic meat, cheese etc. and one for us that isn’t organic. My goal is to be on a completely organic diet as a family and we are getting closer to it everyday.
