Hello friends and family :) I wanted to introduce you to my new passion and the new philosophy we have adopted in to our home. It's called eating clean. The premise is that I have been making all of our food (all that can be made) from scratch and we are eating unprocessed, whole foods. That means homemade breads, crackers, pastas, etc, and fruits and veggies and meats, cheese, and milk. I am still learning but I wanted to share with you my new joy! I discussed it a bit in a previous post but I finally decided it was time for major change this past weekend, and we did our shopping and I cleaned out the fridge and pantry. I went to the farmer's market and Costco and got us all started. On Sunday I made bread and crackers and prepped for the following week. Last week we got a start on it and I made all our dinners from scratch too, but I am going above and beyond now and really making everything homemade :) I'm really excited about it. I don't want to diet anymore. I don't want to get in to the fads. I just want to eat food that will help my body function at its best and I want us to get healthier now. I want Melody to have a good example of how to eat and remember mom making healthy, wonderful food every day!
Some pictures from the Wright kitchen...
Delicious, beautiful salad with homemade croutons! (They haven't been put on there yet lol)
A homemade puree of cantaloupe, strawberry, and raspberry for Melody. At the bottom is spinach! (Lovin my babycook from my sis)
Duzzy's lunch ready to go: cheese, veggies, fruit, hummus, eggs, and more!
Homemade crackers...first try, kinda shaky but good with the hummus!! :)
Hopefully we will start feeling better soon! I am really pumped and even more excited that we're spending less on food than ever but also eating better than ever! Yesterday was the first day in my whole life that I had a meal that didn't include refined sugar. Strange huh?
Well, that's all for now! Have a great healthy day!

Wow, you have really taken the bull by the horns! I'm glad those blogs inspired you! I have made little changes here and there, and plan to do more. It's great to know you're eating things in their natural form, you know?
Yeah Lauren I agree, thanks for the inspirations! I read the blogs for a couple hours straight and stayed up way too late! lol It's been really fun and a good challenge :)
that's awesome! good for you guys- I just started a natural oil blend that helps detoxify your body. You guys may be interested in it too. I love when people are healthy and natural!! You go girl!
WOW! That is very ambitious, I don't think I could do everything from scratch, you MUST be superwoman. That is such a good idea though, usually making things healthy seems to be more expensive but that is awesome that it is actually cheaper. It is so good that you know everything that is in what your eating, that sounds like the healthiest way to eat for sure. You guys are awesome!!!
I have been doing a similar thing but I haven't made crackers though! How awesome-I think I will try it! Thanks for the meal ideas!
