Real Food Month

Hey, ya'll...it's REAL FOOD month at our house.

Tomorrow we start REAL food month.  We are following many of the rules posted on this blog, but not ALL of them.  Unfortunately, our budget will not allow us to eat all organic foods.  So, I decided to list the  guidelines we've decided to follow.

We will not eat:

1)  Food with more than 3 ingredients (unless we mix together a salad...I'm talking about crackers, bread, etc)
2)  Food with any ingredients we can not pronounce.
3)  Refined sugar
4)  Refined flour
5)  Canned food

If anyone serves us food, we will eat whatever they prepare...even if it's cheese from a can and wonder bread!  I'm not doing this to offend anyone.  We just want to see if it makes us feel healthier.

You may wonder what we will be able to eat on this diet?  Many tasty meals, actually. Here is what I will be eating tomorrow:

Breakfast-Oatmeal with a dollop of peanut butter (REAL peanut butter...not JIFFY) and a bit of honey

Lunch-Migas-this is a meal Joel introduced me to.  Basically, it is scrambled eggs with beans, brown rice, tomatoes and onions thrown in.  I guess he learned about it while living in TX?  I was hesitant to try it, but it is YUM, YUM, YUMMY. (also, don't call it "Amigas" around Joel...it will really annoy him!)

Supper-Salad with chicken breasts.

We will snack on plain Greek yogurt sweetened with honey.  We also have a lot of fruits and veggies to munch on.

Cheer us on!  I'm sure I will wake up and want some decaf and creamer in the morning!
