Now he's a carnivore and really watches his diet. He does so much research on food and nutrients, very impressive. he is continually informing me of the best foods to eat.

I have no idea where around me I could get local meat. Maybe the butcher at the local meat market would know. Have never gone there!

Here in SD cattle ranching is huge and local meat is definitely possible.<br /><br />I'm dying to hear your cereal post, we eat a ton of cereal.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-663789900840048092012-04-01T06:00:18.515-05:002012-04-01T06:00:18.515-05:00It can be difficult to find the type of foods you ...It can be difficult to find the type of foods you want to eat. I've found an organic farmer near us who raises free-range chickens and bison as well as vegetables.

My suggestion for sweet treats are yeast breads made with some of the flavors you might use for quick breads or muffins -- a lot less fat, sugar, and salt for the same flavor profile. I use real maple syrup in pumpkin and applesauce breads, a mix of honey and molasses in date & nut bread.Joy Weese Mollhttp://www.joyweesemoll.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-83155530454108153202012-03-31T16:41:28.652-05:002012-03-31T16:41:28.652-05:00I enjoyed this post!

My 16yo boy recently became a vegan and I am cooking what he needs and trying to be supportive. I have heard that you can experiment with applesauce as a replacement for sugar in baking. Baking is funny, though, it is less forgiving than regular cooking, so different substitutions may or may not work.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864587350512328594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-45881870533432852712012-03-31T16:12:38.312-05:002012-03-31T16:12:38.312-05:00A very informative post.

We eat organic as much as we can and the only meat we eat is locally raised and 100% hormone free and grass fed and raised by people we know personally and are our friends.<br /><br />It's expensive and difficult to make wise food choices. Good luck on the sugar thing ... I bake every 4 to 6 weeks. I don't see anything wrong with a treat now and then, just not every day.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
