Favorite Foods

Years ago my father-in-law lived with my husband and I for several months, we had our first baby and Pops had had a stroke.  My father-in-law had been raised in Ohio on a farm and he LOVED potatoes.  I was the daughter of a grocery man-butcher and had always been overweight and I never ate potatoes nor did I cook them.  Pops craved potatoes daily.  He would beg for me to prepare potatoes...it was comical. Our four children were raised on few potatoes, we ate lots of fruit and vegetables but not potatoes.  Our youngest would order a baked potato with a side order of french fries when we ate out.

Now, since we started properly food combining my husband now CRAVES potatoes.  He loves hash browns, & Greek salad with potato salad and he can eat them everyday.  We continue to enjoy lots of vegetables and we eat salads daily and we are adding beans and grains just not with protein.  We still enjoy hamburgers we just make a big salad with everything our hamburger would have on it.  We add mayo & mustard, pickles, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, mushrooms.....um now I'm hungry.  We do not have the fries or onion rings that in the past we would have enjoyed.  We have those later in the day.  Delicious.

Reworking our menus has been difficult mostly because of our ages.  Years of eating in our parents home, then having our own homes we eat much as our parents and our spouses parents, trying to find our own values of eating.  Then we find out everything we have done has been just a click off....wow change is hard.
Except, if we are not flexible we will not make it.  Variety is not necessary, according to my husband.  He likes the same thing everyday.....I want something different.  After all the years we can agree easily.

Food combing is a plan that can be taught in schools, educating our children could change health care.  The children would be healthier,  parents would be healthier, teachers would be healthier.  Little children usually eat one food at a time.  Macaroni & cheese, spaghetti no meat only sauce, fruit, these are the foods most children want to eat.  We just need to watch their sugar intake in juices, drinks, colored milk, have them drink more water.  Snacks should be  fresh fruit.  We kept boxes of fresh fruit in our kitchen when the children were at home.  Our children could eat as much fruit as they wanted.  Our children were high energy and happy. "Food is our friend",  said Bruce, from Finding Nemo.
