My hope is that since the vegetarian food is homemade and yummy looking that the kids will transfer over to it in time. My oldest, Christi, likes the vegetarian options, but currently boys are both meat and potatoes guys.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-16121744856694139482010-11-28T23:38:44.126-05:002010-11-28T23:38:44.126-05:00Gina, I gave birth to a carnivore too.

(I'm not a drive-thru sort of person. Rarely, we go to a fast food place but then I never feel right after eating.

Simplicity, seasonality, and enjoying the flavors and textures of your food.<br /><br />I have a fun cookbook called Twelve Months of Monastery Soups, and Br. Victor's (the author, and I can't remember his last name right now) goal is to include a recipe for just about every vegetable grown in North America. We've enjoyed some fun, satisfying meals Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-75667753951510749162010-11-28T18:37:44.845-05:002010-11-28T18:37:44.845-05:00You know the book "French Women Don't Get...You know the book "French Women Don't Get Fat"? According to the author, the French take so much time and thought and preparation with their meals that they don't need to eat mass quantities. That's why they can have such rich food. In fact, most authentic ethnic cuisine is considered not only an art form, but a demonstration of love and honor. Contrast that to our American Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-79728425361690079132010-11-28T18:29:30.733-05:002010-11-28T18:29:30.733-05:00I tend to think that the healthiest diet is the on...I tend to think that the healthiest diet is the one God gave us in the garden. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains. My husband and I have been trying to go more in the vegetarian direction these days. We've found things we really love like big kettles of bean soup, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, portabella mushrooms, colorful salads, kashi cereals, greek yogurts.

It may not be Black Friday anymore, but it's still psycho at the stores!<br /><br />What a testimony you and Deb have about God's grace in this area. Thank you. I am glad the quote about keeping kosher touched you. It did me, too.

I've heard all sorts of random explanations for kosher food rules, but that's the first one that bears witness in my heart.<br />Food was a form of self-medication for me for years. It was only after I understood more about God's grace that I was able to submit my eating habits to Him. The development of that discipline improved SO many other areas of my life as Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-72502100145159716062010-11-28T09:51:44.963-05:002010-11-28T09:51:44.963-05:00Good morning, Deb!

I should've taken pics of the people gathered but I totally blew it.<br /><br />Food is a major source of comfort, isn't it? And food can be a major example of trying to fill a void only Jesus can fill. I'm guilty of this.

That was me...Attentivness to food? as in obsessing?<br />That was me the last month or so. Because I was feeling stressed, emotional, overwhelmed, I lost my ability to control my eating. I used it to smother my grief over the loss of my close friend Linda.<br /><br />That lead to feeling like a failure because I had no self-control, and there it spirals down. I beat myself up for it. Prayed about it then Debra E. Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853387871623424853noreply@blogger.com
