So What Can You Eat?

      Let me start off this post with a little story, so that you can get to know me a little better. This week, I'm helping out at my son's school with testing week. The teacher I'm helping, and I won't say names, but she is the sweetest thing! Anyways, during snack, she comes up to me and says she is excited about my blog, and asks a couple questions about it, to which I excitedly go on and on and on about. I notice she's not eating a snack. Then, this morning, her dear friend told me that she had a pop tart, but was too embarrassed to eat it in front of me.
     If she had only seen me the night before. And let me just say, I do not recommend making the switch to healthy right after Easter or Halloween. For the past two weeks, we've been shoveling Easter candy down our throats to use it up before the deadline. And then the other night, I just so happened to stumble across several boxes of instant pudding in our cabinet that I forgot about. That's right people, the pudding did not make the inventory list. Well, I mean, you can't WASTE pudding. So I fixed two boxes. And then I remembered that there's a tub of cool whip in the fridge, and well, we only have a couple days left, so I put like three heaping spoon fulls of cream on each, and my husband and I proceeded to eat an entire box of pudding, and half a tub of cool whip each. So go on, girlfriend, eat your pop tart. I promise I won't judge you. And no, I can not, in good conscience, recommend this method for getting rid of your junk food.

     So, real quick, I just wanted to let you know what we will and will not be eating. And if you are planning on doing this along with me, you can make your own choices about what you cut out. I'm going to start by cutting it all out, and then possibly in a month or two, try adding a tiny bit of dairy, for instance, back in to see if and how it affects us. But for now, we are going to be eating all organic, and absolutely no GMOs. Our diet will consist of fruits and vegetables, eggs, poultry, fish, pork and grass-fed beef. We will not be eating sugar, dairy, grains, or soy. Now do you understand just how much my husband loves me?
     When I tell people what we're going to be doing, their jaw usually drops, and they immediately picture us eating boiled cabbage and chicken for the rest of our lives. But, I assure you, there are still plenty of amazing recipes out there, and I'm going to be posting what we have for dinner, with pictures, a recipe, and of course, a review. Trust me, if I'm going to keep Cory on board with this, I'm going to have to get creative.
