I have to say that this quest of mine is probably getting oneveryone's nerves! I read...a lot!!... and i watch food documentaries...a lot... and if one of those sources makes sense i try to implement their advice for my family. Not an easy job, let me tell ya!!
This September, 2014, my oldest boys, 12 & 8, have gone to school. The second time for my oldest but the first tine for my second. Talk about stressful! My middle son is already incredibly picky about what he will eat, now with the stress of school, he eats even less! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!<(
I didn't do too badly feeding healthy foods, but realized after two months of working out, and hard, at the gym and not having lost ANY weight that there still had to be something wrong with my diet.
Enter in SUGAR.
All the things that we eat are loaded with sugar...and i don't have large amounts of processed foods in my house! Yet, it still sneaks ( guilty) into our foods via the baked goods i offer, juice, our favourite crackers, peanut butter, middle son's fave nutella, pasta sauces, and the list goes on!
So, with everyone having been sick these past two weeks, including me, I have researched changes for my recipes to reduce or eliminate sugar from mybaked goods and from our drinks.
Tough luck!
It has been hard, Daddy is having the hardest time of all, by sneaking in the cake from the freezer! The juice boxes for the kids lunches have been replaced with water bottles.
Although i am still having an impossible time getting Chet to eat his lunch.
Help is appreciated!
So, today i am roasting pumkpins and their seeds. Going to see what ican make from this without buying cans of pumpkin puree.
I seem to be ranting now, so i'll leave off for now.
What do you do to reduce sugar consumption in your family's diet?
