Survived the Holidays and Still Going Strong

It has been a very long time since my last post.  I am still going strong.  I have lost about 15 lbs since I started eating healthy.  My children look healthier as well.  Sarah's eczema is gone and this time of year is when it hits her hard.  I know that this is one of the best gifts I can give my children: to learn to eat healthy while young.  I am so grateful that I have my husband's support.

I have finally emptied out my cupboards of any preservatives.  I never realized how many preservatives I was eating!  All those toxins.  Our bodies do not need them.  I have started to ask myself, "What is in my food?" and "How is my body going to benefit from eating it?"  If I do not have a good answer to these questions, then it is not a good thing to eat.

The other morning I made Apple Pecan Whole Wheat Waffles.  Yum!  I substituted unsweetened apple sauce for the milk and honey for the sugar.  They were a family favorite.  They were more sticky than unhealthy waffles.  The secret was just to cook them a little longer and then they came out of the waffle iron just fine.
