We are a husband and wife team that have been together for 13 years and happily married since 2003. We have 3 wonderful kids 2 boys (16&14) a beautiful little girl who is 2. We are devoted Christians and trying to live and raise our family the way Christ would want us to.
We never use to worry about our food, healthcare products, or where we would eat until after we had our daughter. I (the husband) started doing research to find out what was actually in the food we eat and what we need to do to eat healthier. We always ate our fair share of veggies, and “health food” or so we thought. After months of research we made the decisions we would transform our eating habits. It all started with buying organic sweet potatoes and bananas to make baby food. After a simple blind taste test between conventional and organic bananas we were believers and started to buy more and more organics until every item in our kitchen was organic. We cut out red meat the first years, pork the next, and we stopped eating about 98% of the dairy products we use to. We started shopping at Nutrition S’mart, Wholefoods, and any other store that carried organics. To feed a family 100% organic is tough, so we had to be thrifty even if that meant shopping at 4 or 5 different stores to get the biggest bang for our buck. Our plan now it to cut out poultry soon, then become pescitarian for a while, I mean we live in Florida, and we love any and all seafood. Ultimately our goal is to become raw food vegans.
As soon as we think we are doing as much as we can for our diets, I find something that blows us away and it feels like we are back at square one. We love to eat nuts, beans, grains, lentil, and legumes. Never did we think we needed to soak them for any national value, but as I was reading about them I read something about Phytic acid and then more research upon more now I’m developing a soaking chart and starting to think about sprouting as well. Each of these ideas will soon become their own blog, please stay tuned for those.
Our main goal is to use this blog to inform everyone of what is actually in your food, how to shop, how to prepare tasty organic healthy dishes at home, product reviews, products of our own (stay tuned), restaurant reviews, and so much more.
If you have any questions or want us to blog or check out a specific topic please let us know.
Thanks for reading!
Greg & Liz
