You've found our family in the middle of a 10 Day Pledge to "whole food" eating. I'm recording our journey here.
Avila was over at a friend's home yesterday and when it came to snack time she shared about our eating pledge. They worked with her and came up with some good choices! What completely surprises me is that I haven't instructed the girls about what they HAVE to do, but rather shared with them what I'm doing. Turns out they just WANT to do the pledge, too!
So far, our pledge has been pretty easy to keep. Of course, it's summer and we've got more time than usual for food shopping, preparation, cooking and eating. Once school starts back up, that could be our downfall. However, I'm hoping that the next month of "practice" will help prepare us gain some skills and ideas that will make healthy eating a bit more "natural" for us! Ha!!

Hi Tami!
I took a major hiatus from "blogland", but I just started reading your blog again a couple of days ago. I'm so excited about your Whole Food Pledge. I am about to embark on this with my family as well, although they don't know about it yet! :0) I have been reading the Eat-Clean Diet books by Tosca Reno to get some ideas and recipes. This way of eating doesn't come easy for us, it's just easier to grab convenience foods most of the time, but I'm hoping we can successfully make some big changes.
Thanks for posting your meal plans...they are giving me some great ideas to add to my own menus!
Looking forward to reading more about your quest...I've missed reading your blog, glad to be back!
Blessings!
Brandi
