The Start Up

A healthy lifestyle isn't something that occurs over night. Its an evolution of the self. Unfortunately, in America "healthy" is no longer a learned behavior. We are surrounded with all sorts of addicting food, which I am at times guilty of indulging in. We are taught that food comes in a box or a can or a vacuumed sealed bag. We are told that food sold in the market is safe for consumption. We eat more meat than we do vegetables and fruit. With so much false food information from the world around us how could we possibly know what food is healthy for us and how do we prepare non-boxed food?

There are a few first steps. 1.) Put down the can of soda and walk away. You have the world of water flowing from your sink and you choose to drink soda. soda isn't natural. it cannot be found in nature and your body is of the earth, so logic would say eat and DRINK of the earth. 2.) learn to love the greens. Green leafy vegetables are a low fat high nutritional resource. 3.) Read all labels 4.) Get to know what GMO is and how to avoid it 5.) Embrace your local farmers market. Here is my take... I hear too many people complain how eating healthy isn't affordable, well clearly they have never visited their local farmers market. A person could walk away with a weeks worth of food for a family of 4 for under a $100.00 (if you go the meatless route)

 Moving to Massachusetts pushed me to test my culinary skills to its limits and I am realizing I haven't reached the height of my foodie capabilities. I am reminded that anything can be made at home and it will be healthier!

happy food creates a happy family which creates a happy life. food is the source of life. your body needs it. you cannot escape it. so feed it good happy food and i promise you will feel alive.
