Thanks so much for answering my question. This article is full of such wonderful, simple ideas. I’m going to start with eating more seasonally and go from there. Thanks!

This was a very good article, thank you. If anyone is looking for seasonal recipes Culinate.com has a great variety. My goal is always to try one new recipe a week which has introduced me to new veggies. I find that if I don’t make a fuss over the food served neither do the kids, they reflect our feelings about kid friendly meals and did that concept come about because of happy meals? I don’t remember anyone cooking special things for me and my siblings back in the day.

I think this is an enormous, life-changing way of thinking for most people. I love the sound of it, but it’s one of those things that scares me. Can I really change that much, I wonder?
And that makes me think, how is it that we as humans have changed so much that eating un-naturally has become so quickly a part of our nature?
Melanie at Parenting Ink´s last blog ..The OED cites “heartache” from 1000 (meaning “heartburn”). But Hamlet’s use of the word is the first recorded use of “heartache” to mean “pain or anguish of mind, esp. that arising from disappointed hope or affection.”

I commented last night, but it got eaten, obviously

I love this idea… but I live in the tropics where it is a pretty constant 90-95 all year around. Things do not grow well here, and we get most things shipped up from down south (I’m in Australia, so as to stop confusion *smile*) Should we eat the fruits that are in season down there or not? Eating stews and things up heare would be awful to do some days!

I look forward to hearing your take on this

Great pictures- I had to stay away from the refrigerator after seeing them!
I had to post an excerpt w/ trackback from your most captivating article.
Being “turned on” to natural foods a long time ago makes me marvel at how it’s only recently being recognized as important for the family. I look forward to seeing more on this. We at http://www.familyfitnesspath.com see the need for healthy food for the family as well as exercising together for fitness.

This truly is a great perspective on not just weight, but staying healthy! I try so hard to remember to drink lots of water, rest and take my vitamins. I even take my Vidazorb OPC age defense probiotic every day. I heard that they help with weight. My biggest challenge is really the water drinking- and I think our family does really well with our food choices. We cannot stand processed stuff. Thanks again!

This is so helpful. I just read “Food Matters” by Mark Bittman, and he has a similar approach to healthy food choices. One thing I would like to add is to make things from scratch whenever possible, even just once in a while. Seeing what goes into common foods gives you such a different perspective on them. My eating has changed dramatically since I started “really” cooking, because I have a respect for the foods and their ingredients that I didn’t have before.

I love these ideas! I’m making a real effort to eat more seasonally, not only because it just makes sense, but because of the higher nutrient value. Foods that are brought in from warmer climates thousands of miles away lose some nutrients. Local, seasonal produce is not only better for you, it tastes better too.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I really like the idea of fruit muffins (we do blueberry but that is about it)! I agree with you that “hiding” veggies. I want to introduce more vegetables in their diet. They love identifying veggies and fruits at the market and in the garden however we don’t seem to get them to the table and in their bellies. You have really given me food for thought and I can’t wait to try eggplant pizza (sounds good)
