Hi Kristin, I’m a mom in my 50s with 2 married kids and 2 high schoolers. We’ve all found that our family of ADHDers has a tendency toward terrible processed and fast-food because we are too tired or unfocused to think about it. Thankfully, my husband is a mountain biker and searches for clean eating ideas. I’ve become a good cook and try to overcome the easy dash to BK, so I am so thankful to find your blog via Pinterest. It is exactly what I’ve been looking for as a base for reshaping our attitude and effort toward simple, whole foods. I’m converting our favorites to more nutritious, simple recipes and compiling a notebook for myself and for each of my kids, with your intro in the front. I’m also very allergic to many chemicals and botanicals, so I appreciate your natural cleaning methods. Yay for vinegar!

In reply to Cassie. Hey Cassie, My best advice is to find better store-bought alternatives or homemade options for your favorite foods. If you love flavored yogurt, purchase plain yogurt and add fruit and honey. If you love a good burger, make them at home with grass-fed beef. If you love cereal, look for a "cleaner" store-bought option. Slowly with time your taste-buds may also change as you wean yourself away from the highly processed food.

Hi Kristin! I am a teen moving towards a clean, real food diet. Your blog has really been helping with that. I’m having trouble giving up some of my favorite foods though, how do you do that?

I usually buy bionaturae brand organic 100% whole wheat pasta at Nature’s Food Patch. I can pick it up on sale there for around 2/$5. They make everything from macaroni, to lasagna noodles, to spaghetti. http://www.amazon.com/bionaturae-Organic-Whole-Spaghetti-16-Ounce/dp/B001IZM7QQ Ezekial brand also makes a fantastic sprouted wheat spaghetti noodle, http://www.amazon.com/Food-For-Life-Ezekiel-Spaghetti/dp/B000LKV4LS/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1366080337&sr=1-2&keywords=ezekial+spaghetti. I also sometimes use the vitaspelt brand pasta http://www.amazon.com/VitaSpelt-Organic-Shells-Whole-10-Ounce/dp/B000FDDOEG.

Diana, I am so excited for you guys! It wasn’t an overnight fix for us, but little by little real food became the norm in our house. I look forward to sharing meal plans soon, recipes I love, and some great places to shop for food! Right now a great site is http://eatwild.com/ and http://www.localharvest.org. Both sites will provide you with info on local farms and ranches near you! Tonight we are having stir fry with lots of chopped veggies, some leftover chicken meat, greens tossed with a homemade honey, organic soy sauce, and garlic mixture over brown rice…easy and nourishing!
