A box of Kraft Mac and Cheese is cheap, but organic veggies are not. Let me know what you think of the Feingold Diet. :-)blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-91983091490005910952010-09-11T13:58:55.535-07:002010-09-11T13:58:55.535-07:00M- I love that you are working in other food for y...M- I love that you are working in other food for your blessings. It is a challenge to try to incorporate new foods while ridding yourself of old foods too. I did that when I switched over and it felt daunting to say the least, also when I switched over my grocery bill was huge! I will be your biggest supporter! I am ff to research the Feingold diet!crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-75541686332602486012010-09-10T16:29:26.105-07:002010-09-10T16:29:26.105-07:00Thanks, Michelle, for your enthusiastic encouragme...Thanks, Michelle, for your enthusiastic encouragment. We already eliminate corn syrup. The plan doesn't eliminate all sugars or sweets, just the ones that have these preservatives or colorings and flavorings. I'll keep you posted of what we are eating. :-)blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-66976829510797113802010-09-10T16:07:15.718-07:002010-09-10T16:07:15.718-07:00GO FOR IT!!! i knocked out preservatives not to lo...GO FOR IT!!! i knocked out preservatives not to long ago(my ocd is telling me to tell you that sometimes i slip up......:) lol but rarely!:)!) and you are totally right, its just another healthy step, just like vegan and vegetarian. i have read a lot about how colorings and additicves can cause or exacerbate all types of problems. this is why i chose to get off foods that include them. kick out plain white sugar and hfcs too, i know that made a small difference in me. a say small, but every little bit adds up. i know its rough, feeling like "great, MORE limits for my kids and i" but do it, its a great idea.dirtyduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383110271569591721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-50110760160987289832010-09-10T15:33:31.781-07:002010-09-10T15:33:31.781-07:00Hi, Everyone,

I try to be a good mom, and hopefully this food plan will work. :-)<br /><br />Jessica, I agree - there are so many questionable ingredients out there. This plan doesn't eliminate all "fake meats," just those that don't fit in the plan. So, it will reduce our intake of them.<br /><br />Rose, how's the break been going? Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully, the meals will still be tempting.<br /><br />Jacklyn, glad you like my last-minute tempeh version!blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-763899203737093222010-09-10T12:48:11.412-07:002010-09-10T12:48:11.412-07:00Oh I am glad you made these instead of Smart Bacon...Oh I am glad you made these instead of Smart Bacon..Im sure these taste a lot better than store bought tempeh bacon.
