Why I do NOT eat salad

Ok, so the title is a little misleading. But it comes from a statement that I hear ALL THE TIME!

When people see what we eat, or hear that we are a whole foods family, (we do eat some meats, but not on a daily basis), I always hear "But I can't just eat rabbit food and salads all the time"...... Well guess what- I don't either!!

                      Yes, we eat salads, but not daily, and sometimes not even weekly!

There is so much more to eat than some lettuce and a couple of tomatoes!!!!

So I wanted to share some actual meals that we eat regularly. I have a huge backlog of meal pics that I keep for my own records, so I figured this is a great way to share them! I will also share links to the recipes if I have them. 

Welcome to some good ole' food porn! Nothing better than getting your mouth watering from some food that is not only good, but good for you!



Good ole "Feel Good Food" Cauliflower, mixed beans, and corn. MMMMmmmm good

Vegetable Fritters , rice, and bean salad.
Avocado Broccoli Salad with Easy Skillet Sweet Potaatoes  (I added bacon, without all the chemicals, but can't remember the brand name, it's a natural line of meat.....)

FAST FOOD, healthy style....when in a pinch I get fast food too! It's really fast to grab a pre-cut fruit tray, Coconut water and veggie chips and slide on through self check-out! If you are needed a fast food option, fruit and veggie trays ARE FAST FOOD! You just have to shift the way you look at a
"meal". Whipping up your own guacamole, that is super easy!! There are so many recipes of homemade guacamole on Pinterest.  


One of our favorites: Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake with Rosemary Roasted Radishes and Quinoa seasoned with turmeric and garlic. Delicious! Cheezy! Zesty! and Yummy! all in one meal!!



Of course, Veggie Kabobs are on the list!!!! Along with mixed fresh veggies, hummus, wild rice and corn


If you make it, they will come


Even at parties, you can choose to eat the Good Stuff instead of getting all the chemicals, additives, and preservatives. Go for the fruit! Get the broccoli salad (always available at luncheons, and potlucks! Make your taste buds, and body, happy- 

without feeling like you are starving only eating leafy greens.......



skillet seared peppers, onions, brussel sprouts, and beans, with "Fried" brown rice.

Just a few ideas to get your creative, and hunger, juices flowing. 

Get on Pinterest......look around.....get inspired.....and eat more than just salads everyday!!!!

Do you have chronic illness, chronic pain, or autoimmune disorders? Here's HOW TO HEAL YOURSELF!

 My struggle with chronic pain and debilitating illness has been long lived.  You can go  HERE to read a post about that more in depth. But one thing that keeps coming up is that people around me, through church, family, long-time friends and social media have noticed the big improvements in my life. Many of them ask me what I have been doing, or want information for their loved ones that struggle with autoimmune, neuropathy, and chronic pain such as fibromyalgia.  So........... I decided to get the protocol all written out so that anyone can share it and locate it, and hopefully use it! I believe in this so much that I would put money on it, that anyone with these kind of issues could completely change their lives                          IF they follow it TO THE LETTER!  There are 3 kinds of people in the chronic illness realm.   First are the ones that no matter what you sa...

Ever Wonder what a whole foods family eats everyday? Take a look

Many times people ask me about what we eat as a family. I wanted to share some of our meals with you. Yesterday's menu looked like this: I skipped breakfast because I woke up late for church. This is a usual occurence since I am not an early bird....I do not get the supermom award for breakfasts....but if you are an early riser and have some good ideas and/or pictures, please comment below and let us know about it! I'd love to see what you've got going on at your house! Son M (SM) skipped breakfast....he gets it honest  :) Dear Daughter had a banana with granola and blueberries. (way to go making good choices!) Son T had granola and some banana chips. Little E had an orange with granola. As a snack I packed a wonderful mix to stash in my purse....even though I skip breakfast I don't want to be ravished later and make a bad decision on food! This is one of my favorite homemade "trail-mixes". It has figs, dates, banana chips, pecans, pistachios, and ...
