I don't completely avoid white flour (I do love a great pasta dish or piece of bread here and there) but this month I've decided to really take control of what we eat and make it more healthful, for a wide variety of reasons. Looking forward to reading and trying your recipes, so get cooking!Courtneyhttp://www.everythinginbetween.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-20145267088605580772012-01-29T06:13:16.102-05:002012-01-29T06:13:16.102-05:00I had to give up sugar, yeast, alcohol and caffein...I had to give up sugar, yeast, alcohol and caffeine for my chronic fatigue and, alas, it did make a big difference to my energy levels. I do tend towards lots of fruit and veg, one serving of protein a day and increasingly less dairy food, as my body doesn't digest dairy fats well. As you say, you learn as you get older what goes down and what goes through! But how I wish there were more snacks available that are healthy. I'm not a fan of nuts; they're okay but boring. And I do miss a cake or cookie as a comfort treat around teatime. Still!

I'm a vegetarian, but not vegan. I'm with you on the organic and local as a preference but not a doctrine, same with abstaining from white flour and sugar as a principle but not an obsession. I'm less concerned about low fat than low sugar, as more recent studies show that sugar has more influence on cholesterol for most people, but I still tend to eat low fat because I'm not sure which of those things has lowered mine, but something has when I went vegetarian and gave up eating ice cream every day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-31671518326068038762012-01-28T10:49:24.203-05:002012-01-28T10:49:24.203-05:00Looking forward to reading your food posts.

Very difficult to find where I live. Am interested in fermented oatmeal - what is that nd how do you prepare it? <br /><br />Been thinking that I should start a series of posts on all of my cookbooks. Stay tuned...Anne Camillehttp://www.fourdeeroak.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-35524362321134696022012-01-28T10:02:36.366-05:002012-01-28T10:02:36.366-05:00Excellent post, Emily!

I love the idea of eating food that doesn't have 'extras' added into it that end up hurting the earth, the insects, and eventually by extension us. <br /><br />I've tried to go meat free and I really missed it. It's also a lot of extra work to go meat free, and I found eating tofu didn't help my system much. So we are a happily carnivorous family! lol eating organic much of the way. Even our turkeys are at least free-range, if not organically raised (depending what our market has). I love the idea of the animals being as natural as possible, able to move freely and have their life as natural as possible. <br /><br />I look forward to your recipes, and don't worry - I cook the recipe once to try it,and then end up making changes to it anyway after. Cooking by taste too :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-38470107723709582522012-01-27T10:19:36.201-05:002012-01-27T10:19:36.201-05:00James and I need to get together and cook (especia...James and I need to get together and cook (especially since I could stand a little help with winter root vegetable soup).Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-74032204003994169442012-01-26T14:20:30.747-05:002012-01-26T14:20:30.747-05:00And that is why I am only really good at baking an...And that is why I am only really good at baking and James is an excellent cook, he doesn't follow recipes but only uses them as a guide on what flavors might work well. He recently perfected a wonderful winter root vegetable soup. If you ask him for the recipe he won't be able to provide it.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
