It is a constant struggle of getting her stuff to eat and making sure Cameron doesn't share anything with her, ect. It's so hard when they are little and don't understand. I've just started doing all my own gluten free baking though and that helps.Anna Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831815849779647312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-72061830887958091942009-01-06T05:31:00.000-08:002009-01-06T05:31:00.000-08:00We haven't moved beyond white sugar yet (occasiona...We haven't moved beyond white sugar yet (occasionally organic sugar), as I made the decision last year to remove most of the artificial sweeteners from my family's diet...no aspartame etc, no high fructose corn syrup...white sugar is at least better than putting those chemically engineered things in our bodies. And in general I don't allow my kids much in the way of sweets anyway so they aren't eating it by the cupful.<BR/><BR/>And that went hand in hand with generally eating more naturally and organically and avoiding trans fats. Oh and the plastic issue...I've been trying to make better decisions there too.<BR/><BR/>All in all..."better decisions" with what I have is what I can do for my family...there's no perfect.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956401111516283111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-60779329996430768342009-01-05T18:45:00.000-08:002009-01-05T18:45:00.000-08:00Hi Anna, thanks for commenting!I am VERY thanful t...Hi Anna, thanks for commenting!<BR/>I am VERY thanful the kids don't have special food needs. AND I'm thankful that for the kids that do, there are options now and lots of new ideas. I do feel bad for mom's having to make thoe extra purchases with this economy. Do you guys have allergy issues? I did not realize. <BR/>I have friends who have used agave nectar and it is avaliable in our co-op. I would be curious to know cost..I'll have to check it out. <BR/>Funny thing, my friend Christina ordered some and it came in THE CUTEST little mini milk gallon jug. I wanted it just for the jug, it was that cute!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804353351160018502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-60896950784408024552009-01-05T18:28:00.000-08:002009-01-05T18:28:00.000-08:00Good post :) Just be glad you don't have to buy Gl...Good post :) Just be glad you don't have to buy Gluten free baking stuff... it is so expensive, but even more so to buy anything premade. Have you tried Agave nectar? It's pretty reasonable at TJ's and a good sugar alternative.Anna Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831815849779647312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-60217706509156384142009-01-05T17:22:00.000-08:002009-01-05T17:22:00.000-08:00ha! yeah, that's why that song is called "i can on...ha! yeah, that's why that song is called "i can only imagine"!:)<BR/><BR/>one thing we know for sure...nothing will be bad for us and everything will be beyond anything we can crave right now!:)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804353351160018502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-8810172713787802492009-01-05T17:05:00.000-08:002009-01-05T17:05:00.000-08:00I'm not sure they serve broccoli in heaven, althou...I'm not sure they serve broccoli in heaven, although I like it fine here on earth.

But I havent used it too much in baking yet so haven't quite figured out how it translates in recipes.<BR/><BR/>I buy whole wheat too. But sometimes cut it with white just to make it go further.Zimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-11763836365280624842009-01-05T14:58:00.000-08:002009-01-05T14:58:00.000-08:00I am having to make some of those same decisions. ...I am having to make some of those same decisions. I want to buy unbleached white flour, but that isn't in my budget right now. I have to mix white flour with my whole wheat to make it go further when I make bread. I am trying to stock up in my cupboard this month, not knowing what next month will bring.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300158329657912671noreply@blogger.com
