Farmers wife

1937 housewife's year book

of health and homemaking.

we have 2 available

$10.00 each

tips for each month on housekeeping.

Speaking of "reducing"

true story here...

my mother tells me that my sisters

are going on a diet.

I say...not without me

especially if there is a $100.00 cash reward

to the first one to lose 15 lbs.

Last Tuesday we weighed in.

vintage scale $12.00

Today we had a weight loss

can't tell

secret

only our mates know

If you've been reading this blog since the new year

you'll know that we are eating healthy this year,

but not on a diet and have lost 24 lbs. and

Mr. 30 lbs and we've kept it off.

Thought this would be a good

incentive to step it up a bit,

sharpen the saw,

focus and lose THE REST.

Besides a little competition

between sisters and NOW the men

is healthy

right?

It's working

and that's what matters.

finding new ways...

My green smoothies are turning a little brown,

(this one looks like a root beer float doesn't it?

due to beets and more vegetables.

I'm trying, okay!

We don't do banana smoothies or icy cold ones.

But we do love them made with

spinach, fruit choices...

always an orange then strawberries,

pineapple, apple, plums

whatever is available 

add flaxseed oil

water or vanilla almond milk.

always BE PREPARED with your

spinach and kale bags

even if you have to freeze in smaller bags,

I do that alot.

Kale a little bitter

add stevia if you have to.

Found this sprouted bean trio at costco

excellent protein and a little crunchy

cooks up really fast

IDEAL

because anything sprouted

is more nutritious

aren't they pretty

added them to a salad today,

just keep them cooked up to add

to whatever your eating.

It's fun and necessary to be on watch for new foods

especially when your not use to cooking

just healthy stuff all your life.

Wanted to try

Robyns Granola (greensmoothiegirl.com)

it's in her books.

Mr. Roses "loves it" he claims this morning

and I do too.

A new way to BAKE

because the farmers wife bakes, right?

It's loaded with nutrition

liquid is honey, coconut oil, molasses, water.

makes 11 cups

Easy Easy Easy

You don't need very much to get full

add some vanilla almond milk.

One thing about eating healthy is

you don't get cravings for foods

loaded with calories and sugar.

Those foods are addictive.

Wish I could feed my children all over again

knowing what I know now.

aren't these warm summer days just beautiful
