Hi clouds

I try to avoid all the "refined" foods and stick with whole grains, brown (turbinado) sugar etc
Our family has noticed digestive and overall health benefits from this

Never quite got the reason why people thought the "white" stuff cleared of all its natural goodness was better........ they "refine" out the natural well absorbed minerals and vitamins etc and then "enrich" it with man made ones

i haven't eaten white bread in years. well...french bread for dipping up the sauce in chicken marsla...

don't use white suger...and like chemar...don't eat very much refined packaged foods.

i try to eat foods that have good nurtition. high fiber..lower fats..no trans fats..and i don't salt my food. just use lots of herbs and seasoning.

no soda either.

it's pretty easy to find raw type of sugars to bake with. (whole foods market has a good variety) i do use honey.

i also take whole rolled oats..not the quick cook oatmeal and put it in the food proccessor to make oat flour.

i wish i ate as much chocolate at home as i do here on nt. i'd be as big as house though. i do miss peanut m&m's, but i feel so much better after cutting them out.

oh clouds...you reminded me of something funny...the cocoa powder.

when my son..who is now 18 was 12, he wanted to make a chocolate souffle'. he saw it in one of my cookbooks.

i was overseeing him, trying not to help too much. i should have just stayed out of the kitchen.

i was helping him get the ingredients out. the box of cocoa powder was in a top cabinet. it slipped from my hand. the top popped off as it hit the counter. all the powder shot straight up inthe air..right into the ceiling fan which was on high.

kitchen...every nook and cranny..me...my son..covered in cocoa powder. we laughed so hard. what a mess.

I'm pleased to report that I don't suffer from a sweet tooth, so the only white flour or sugar I get is eating out, or my monthly fix of ice cream (when I don't forget it).

I eat stuff as close to the way God made it as possible. It's simpler, and in my opinion just as easy. I'm afeared of food that comes in boxes, I have no idea what most of the polysyllabic chemicals are and I don't want them in me. 85 lbs. ago, I sang a different tune and was well on my way to becoming a negative statistic.

I still drink an unreasonable amount of coffee, diet Pepsi and brewed tea. I don't foresee cutting any of those out, and I don't care!
