This week I made fruit compote instead of jelly, which uses 2T of sugar per pound of fruits instead of the cups that jelly has. (Actually I probably should have used honey, but I didn't think of it. Still working on changing habits!) I am working on reducing our sugar intake.

The libraries in my area are horrible (and you have to pay to use inter-library loan to borrow for another library) so I just bought a used copy. For those wondering, Yes - we have our own home library because of our local library system. If it is helpful to anyone, these books are on Ebay.

I thought something wasn't right! I had to throw away my antique pot because I "tried" to make the baked beans in it. Haven't tried again. I'm scared to, but it's one of my favorite dishes and I know my kids would like it if I could get it right. Please post it! I'd love to know how you altered it. Everything else is superb. For me, I enjoy the hobby of baking our own bread with fresh ground grains, making stock, cultured cream, cream cheese, salad dressings, snacks, and yes, especially the ice cream! It is work, but I see and feel the benefits everyday and I know it's only the tip of the ice berg. See also: The Schwarzbein Principle - The Transition. It's very helpful for assisting you through coming off processed foods and even has months of meal plans, so you don't have to think about it so hard! I am a huge Coke lover, but since eating strictly nourishing foods for about two or three months, I don't even think about it. Try Kombucha! It's de-lish and has that effervescence you may be craving. See Nourishing Traditions. LOL! I thought something wasn’t right!

I lived in a small town about 20 minutes north of Ann Arbor and I cleaned a few people's apartments in Ann Arbor for money. I'd stop at a small store called the Polly Market and I could get an 8-pack of glass bottles of Diet Pepsi for $1.99 plus deposit. They were the only store anywhere that carried glass bottles and I had to return the bottles back to them. After nearly a year of living on this stuff...and thinking no one else knew my secret because it was always in stock...they stopped carrying it. I could have cried! Now, more than 20 years and thousands of bottles of diet pop later, I am giving it up for good. I gave it up the previous two years for Lent but I always snuck back to the nasty habit of drinking it again by summertime. This year - it's going to be gone for good! I've substituted just water and occasionally hot tea or homemade iced tea. No heavy sugar fruit juices (I've never liked apple or orange juice) and I've tried a few of the "low sugar" fruit drinks but really I just don't care for them. I prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them! My headaches this past week have been horrible. I, too, avoid gluten (due to anemia that only clears up after I cut out gluten - took me years to figure that one out!) but again, I start sneaking it back in and next think you know I'm eating a baguette while driving home only to find I'm completely winded walking from the car to the house. So, no more pop and no more gluten. I don't fully appreciate how great I feel when I do adhere to this...and then go off the wagon and feel like crap for weeks while I try to crawl back on the wagon. Good luck to you - it's not easy to start new habits, but we have willpower! In 1989 I was in college at U of M.

Sparkling! At Kroger it's something like eighty cents for a two-liter, give or take. Very cheap, and nothing but fizzy water. Sparkling water for that Italian soda, I mean. Sparkling!

Use a big cup or it'll foam over. Fairly soon I intend to attempt making my own kombucha mushroom and, if successful, will then make my own kombucha. I've tried it, unsweetened mind you, and it tasted fine and was fizzy enough to make a good soda substitute. And it works to provide probiotics if you're dairy-sensitive.

Now you can start a food blog and show us all the yummy things you come up with. After all, this is how we foodbloggers cook, for the most part. Little, if any, processed stuff. I never buy breakfast cereal--my husband grabs one or two hard boiled eggs on the way out the door to nosh at his desk, and I like to keep homemade granola on-hand (sweetened with agave nectar for me, but honey & maple syrup also work). I've gotten to the point that I don't really know how to make a meal with processed food products. Other than boxed mac & cheese, what is there? EXACTLY!
