bad carbs make us crave sugar! I didn't know that. Am I the last one to know that? It makes total sense though! Why didn't someone tell me this before???? Glad I know now. =0)
yep- supposedly if you cut out sugar and bread/white flour items- you stop wanting it. I did Atkins for several months before I had kids. Though I lost much weight, I didn't stop wanting treats and bread- that's how I eventually gained it back! :)
I'm on a quest to cook healthier for my family which hopefully means that the recipes posted here keep getting healthier. I started out posting our old favorite recipes and now I'm sharing my new tried and true healthy recipes with you. I started this blog as a way to record our recipes for our children which I'll make into a book using Blurb. In the future we hope to make our recipes available to you in printed form.
who am I?
I'm a pastor's wife and homeschooling mom in my 30s. Serving my husband, managing my home, and caring for my family are my focus and joy. I love the color red, all things vintage, gardening, camping, books, and cooking of course. I collect old furniture, snack plates from the 50s, tea pots, tea cups, and I think a cake pedestal is a must in every home.
Have a healthy recipe for me to try? email me and if I try it I'll give you credit.
When I post
I'm trying to post M-W-F at the moment.

why cook?
"The person who decides what shall be the food and drink of a family, and the modes of it's preparation, is the one who decides, to a greater or less extent, what shall be the health of that family. It is the opinion of most medical men, that intemperance in eating is one of the most fruitful of all causes of disease and death."

I am also having a hard time with bad carbs. I have been diagnosed with diabetes, so bad carbs is on my "not to eat" list.
But your body keeps craving it.
I have thouroughly enjoyed reading your back post and your new ones.
Thank you for taking the time to share so much.
Many blessings to you and your family,
maria
