in my quest for REAL FOOD, i decided to look for some of the worst. our problem in america (relating only to food-health, because believe me, our problems in america are way too complex for me to tackle on my little blog) is that we have equated the need to fill our cars with gas, with the unequivocal need to fill our bodies with crap. so each time we stop to put $4/gallon gas in our vehicle, we put $10 worth of high fat, high sugar, high caffeine (or all 3) into our bodies. it's pavlovian people. stop the cycle. this concludes todays lecture. are you with me?

Eata whatcha gotta
or in other words, quit shopping so much. i'll admit it. i have a food addiction. it's not what you think. i don't hoard doughnuts or secretly hit all of the fast food drive thru windows each day. no, my problem is that i really really like good food. and by good food, i am talking about the vibrant produce, fresh cheeses, interesting whole grains and new and different spices.
i love to search the internet for recipes and the challenge of preparing something is exciting to me. but, my problem is that i am known to spend most of my paycheck at the grocery store. not a good thing. while healthy eating can be a budget nightmare, i am convinced that it can be done on the cheap. in fact, that is what i spend my time "in career" telling folks each and every day. it is time for a personal challenge. so...
i found a few blogs that give very specific guidelines about "pantry eating". http://goodcheapeats.com/2011/12/join-me-for-a-pantry-challenge/
http://www.gettingfreedom.net/category/pantry-challenge
the basic idea is that you figure out what staples you need each week and then use what is in your pantry, freezer, and cupboards. most americans keep such a large amount of food on hand that we never use. it eventually molds, collects dust, or expires and we pitch it. hundreds of dollars of food waste each year.
i will post my progress. look for this challenge to begin in february. till then, i plan to enJOY.
