The New Year is already slipping by. It is already towards the end of January .The Christmas season was nice but I'm happy that it slipped by swiftly.And now we are into a more relaxed time of year. It for me is a time to start over, and a time to do better than I did last year. I was hoping that we would be warmer after we had our house well insulated but it seems that we are just as cold. We are all walking around the house with our jackets on trying to keep the chill off. Maybe we need a new furnace. Or maybe we need to eat more grains and be more active,( I know this really would help.) It's hard to get my kids to eat anything made from grains, when I add oatmeal to the ground beef my son tells the family we are having horse patties for dinner. There is so much processed foods in the world today, its no wonder that there are so many unhealthy persons upon the earth. I think that if we could only teach the hungry people of the world to use grains in their diets more and eat brown rice instead of white rice, that they would be able to fill the nourishment that their bodies need .And I know that they would be less hungry, and feel energetic. I kind of answered my own delima of why I am so cold all the time it seems.
Last year I learned how to make cream of mushroom soup out of bean flour to use in my casseroles, it was so much better for our bodies and the best thing is that my children didn't know that I changed the ingredients in the recipe, it was more healthy and had less salt. I get alot of my healthy recipes from the store where I shop for my grains. Kitchen Kneads is the name of the store, it is located at 7579 South Redwood Rd west Jordan ,Utah, 84084 They have classes on Saturdays to teach you how to use your grains and your dried food storage . After each class they let you sample the foods that they have made. I like the challanges that the owner gives like trying to live on your food storage for one week with out going to the store. or trying to live without power for one week . It can really give you a chance to see what others around the world are going through. And hopefully will help you to be prepared for the furture.

I'm actually enjoying this time of year, too. Usually, for me, January is kind of depressing, but this year I have a lot of projects going on that I'm excited about. I guess being busy helps.
ReplyDeleteI wish your house was warmer now with the new insulation.
I had forgotten that Kitchen Kneads does demos on Saturday mornings. I need to get more into using the whole grains, too.
I actually made homemade noodles for my chicken soup last night for the first time and they were really good. Robert loved it because his mom used to make homemade noodles all the time. I told him maybe I should try whole wheat noodles next time, but he didn't like that idea!
I put one of the pictures you gave me on my blog! You'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI also made a copy of the dish cloth pattern for you!
