Natural Cooking

All Natural cooking , Even just the idea of it brings thoughts of going back to nature and extreme expense and time , and who can blame you the manufactures have made it so every prepackaged food is 1/2 the cost of buying the ingredients to make it at home and if you count in the time it takes to open a package vs the time it takes to make it what a deal !!! Except what is in the food that we are putting in our and our children's bodies? When is the cost effectiveness and the cost of putting some times unknown ingredients ( that can and do make us sick) on our plates worth it ? Well cooking naturally in our own homes ensures that we know exactly what is going into our food. Heck people have been eating real food for thousands of years when have you ever heard of Moses eating a serving of Twinkies? Or Cleopatra eating some pop-tarts?

Natural cooking can be a cost effective way of eating and it has a bonus of making you feel better on the inside. It can help your children off to a great wholesome start and plant lessons in eating well that can last a lifetime.

This is actually where this blog and my life got started about 4 years ago.

I had been a Gerber feeding mother for years I bought EA all the special baby formulated prepackaged uber processed snacks and drinks thinking I was doing the absolute best I could do. I had grown up eating only home cooked meals and I thought that that way was soo out dated, and I could do better with modern foods.
Well then I learned how to make an apple pie that is what inspired it all. I had bought store made apple pies and frozen bake at home pies and never thought anything of it. I then got a stick in my butt over wanting to make a home made pie , so I went on toallrecipes.com/ and looked up apple pie . It looked simple enough :
5 apples
some cinnamon
some sugar
flour
butter

and the crust was even better!!!
flour
salt
butter
shorting ( I no longer use shorting)

and I made a pie it was easy as well.. pie

some time later I went to go buy another apple pie (my favorite pie) that the store had made and this time I looked at the ingredients listed over half of which I couldn't pronounce or know what they were . I thought back to the ingredients to the pie I had made ( that tasted better than store bought) and That is what opened my eyes .

watch try it look up a recipe for any thing you are in the mood for even if it is just peanut butter (peanuts) or jelly (fruit and sugar) and then go to the store and grab a modern processed package version of the same food ..... you may be in for a shock I know I was!!!!!
