We’re not vegetarians. Vegans either. I hope this doesn’t disappoint some, since people often think we are one of these things. I can understand why, since I talk often about why veggies are so great. But I thought I should set the record straight & explain why we eat what we do...I cook meat at dinner about once a week. Ethan eats more meat than any of us, since I want to make sure he has adequate protein in his diet. That being said, we do eat a good portion of proteins from other sources, like beans & lentils.
We are eating less & less egg & dairy in our diets, due to our son’s food allergies. I continue to find great alternatives to staples like Mayonnaise, Butter, Frozen Pizzas & More. So many of the things I cook & we eat are – in fact – vegan.
Finally, I am definitely not standing any moral highground about what I eat. I battle an unhealthy affection towards sweets, and the 5 pounds I’ve gained since the Half Marathon is living proof. I hope my sharing my love of food does not come across as preachy or arrogant. I blog about my life – and eating is a big part of it!

I think it is great you are so conscience of what goes in you and your family's bodies! I too love sweets! What would life be like without chocolate!? Life is too short to deprive yourself too much! :)
Carrie-Check out Oprah's website about this new cookbook (Deceptively Delicious)....perfect for moms trying to get their kids to eat more veggies! The book is already on its way to my house!

ooh, I just saw that show on Oprah yesterday! It was really neat and I think I'll probably try her sneaky techniques on my hubby! haha...
Keep blogging about food, I love to learn new things, and how my family can eat healthy and end the cycle of obesity and bad health our own families have faced. On Oprah yesterday Dr. Oz said that this is the first generation that has a shorter life expectancy than their parents because of all the processed and unhealthy foods we have now...WHAT??! That's crazy.
