So, this clean eating thing hasn't been too bad. I thought I would be severely limited on foods, but I have found lots of things to eat, including real oatmeal. Now EVERY clean eating blog has at least a few posts about oatmeal, and I wanted to contribute. This morning I made steel cut oatmeal on the stove top with bananas, maple syrup, unsweetened coconut and apples. My whole family ate it, and it was really delicious. It didn't take too much time and it is a huge step up from instant oatmeal. Here, take a look.
Not bad, right? As far as other cooking, I haven't done much. I have cooked stir fry and a few other things, but I am still waiting on some cook books. I will invest more time this week. As far as how I feel with this eating, I think pretty good. I have noticed that I am starting to crave vegetables, which I have NEVER done before. That is definitely a plus. I thought I would crave sweet things, but that isn't necessarily so, although I do like my smoothies. I have been making them with almonds and coconut and they are great (well, at least I think so-Aaron and Henry don't seem to like the texture).
Besides clean eating, things have been going well with the kids. Last Sunday Aaron had an interview for a documentary while I took the kids to the park and grocery shopping with no crying or whining the whole time. Now that is what I call an achievement. I should also say that I went to the nursery for rounds and I did NOT lock my keys in the car, also an achievement.
So, all in all a good week.

For a quicker oatmeal. You can soak oats overnight in yogurt and milk and not have to cook them as long in the morning if you are using steel cut. If you use just regular oats (not instant) you don't have to cook them at all. You can just quickly warm them up and they are good to go.
Have you checked out the world's healthiest foods book? There is a website as well. http://www.whfoods.com/
Thanks Megan, I will check that website out. I usually cook with water and almond milk and then mash a banana into the mixture. It comes out with the perfect texture. I should try the yogurt and milk thing too.
