Hear hear! I became a farmer to expose myself to the joy of preparing foods I used to buy ready-made, and just to learn what was what in the vegetable, fruit, and grain kingdoms. Joining a CSA (weekly produce delivery) is another way to create your own food adventure. Both of the CSA farms in Walla Walla provide newsletters with info and recipes for new and beautiful vegetables.

“No longer part of the processed food world, I’m seeing with new fresh eyes the sad state of food we live in. The majority of food that fills the shelves of grocers is far from it’s original natural state, processed and packaged, to help?? consumers?? We’ve become so immune to in, surrounded by it daily that we don’t even notice how far we’ve come from when our grandparents were growing up. Sad indeed!” This was my favorite part of your post!

As far as the caffeine, I stopped drinking it for a several weeks…and then this past week I started drinking it…and wowza. It has had a really, really negative affect on me. I get so amped up…and then I crash…I’m getting headaches again…I’m more tired in the morning, and exhausted at night. I don’t like it at all. After being so clean, and then adding it back in, I really feel the difference, and I actually feel like crap. Like really bad. I actually feel like a drug addict or something….all strung out. So I’m cutting it back out, and I’m going to keep it out FOR GOOD.

Thanks for your post! Still really enjoying following your progress.

Thanks for another great post! Both the oatmeal and the kale dish look really delish!

Don’t forget that veggies have protein, too! Especially dark, leafy ones, and broccoli. And fruit has protein! Blueberries are pretty high! So you don’t ALWAYS have to add beans or something to get your protein. (Plus we focus on protein way too much in this country. We really don’t need that much!)

Yay for juices! Your apple-carrot-ginger sounds good. You know what else would be good in that? Lemon! I love the combo of those 4 together. The lemon highlights and gives a little extra something.

I can’t wait to see your next post, and think it is great you are going to do it for another week! Yay!

I do a cooking class with the kids who are transitioning out of juvenile detention. �That day we made the black bean corn salad. �
