Health Nut

With all the changes that have come to our family these past three years I believe the most recent has been the most fun. I think I have officially been labelled a health nut. I am by no means perfect nor will I ever be but the physical health of my family has become a priority in my life.  Of course their spiritual health will always be at the top but that is not what we are talking about now.

One of the greatest things has recently come about.  My oldest son Sean has always dabbled with the idea of liking salad over the past year.  He would eat a little here and there.  Lately though he has become an all out salad lover.  His favorite salad is a mixed up nutty salad.  They serve it at Jason's Deli but is easy to create at home.  What it has in it is Romaine lettuce, some other mixed greens, grapes, raisins, cranberry's, sliced apple, walnuts, tomatoes, feta cheese and all drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette.  We can fix him a huge plate of this salad and he will devour the whole thing.  It is rather delicious and Matt and I enjoy it too.

I am really proud of Sean and how he had adopted our new way of healthy living.  It just goes to show that even older kids can learn to like healthy foods.  If you have young kids start now with the healthy eating so they will learn as they grow and it will just be a normal part of their life when they are older.

Here's to yours and your kids health.
