A New Life Choice

It seems the more information We learn and ponder on requires us to make some kind of life choice. Do we ignore the information?.....find more research to document the information?...ignore it all together after all we are very busy people and do not have time to dwell on it......Or make a life choice that brings about change. Either way a choice is made, to do something or nothing and all choices have consequences.
After watching "Forks Over Knives", each of our family units have decided to make a change toward eating more plant based foods. This is a huge change and mind shift for some of us so we are working together to encourage and support each other.
In our next several posts we will be sharing new recipes and cookbooks, more information on documented studies, and our struggles and triumphs. Our combined households include ages 22 months to 83, a grand total of 19 life forces. This will definitely be an adventure.

Our first month

This month was our month to phase out meat in out diets. While we still had it for one meal a week we found that it's almost as if the texture had changed and while it still tasted good it was very fibrous.  For me I think I would be just fine never having meat again.  It's just not a favorite.
There is one positive change that I have seen this month and the biggest has to do with poop.  My two non-poopers, Hailey and Katelyn, who in the month of January maybe pooed once a week if we were lucky.  Are now pooping multiple times a week and Katelyn even multiple times a day.  Yeah!!!  And I expect to see even more improvement as we phase out dairy this next month.
Which brings me to my biggest fear.  Cutting out cheese. While we have cut back tremendously this month in the dairy department it is not completely out.  And lets face it.... cheese taste so awesome!  Let's hope some of these vegan mac and cheese recipes go over well with the kids.  I am greatly fearful in this.

    The cheese is definitely something I miss. Especially in the sprinkle on top category and cream cheese. Also miss butter, I think that is the one I miss the most. Made muffins today and really... really wanted to slather it in butter.

Raising up the Next Generation of Faithfulness

Being blessed with six boys and three girls born into our family has given us a wonderful opportunity to raise more men and women of God. Our continual vigilance in the task of raising them to be godly sons, brothers, husbands. fathers and daughters, sisters, wives. and mothers is paramount. Through God's grace they will all be His. So let us stand strongly united together, encouraging one another to remain faithful to the task. So their hearts will always be moldable in His hands.
