As you all know I am an avid biker. Meaning the idea of biking for 3 hours in the sun up hill just gets me all excited :) But you also know I LOVE to cook. These two interests have led to a big change in the Nelson household.
I am on a mission to rid my home of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, nitrates and hydrogenated oils (they are so not healthy). Basically that means not buying anything pre-made (chicken nuggets, pancakes, frozen pizzas...) and also being picky about what ingredients I use when cooking.
Family meals have always been a must at our home but now they take on a different flare. Every meal is homemade. I cook from scratch every breakfast, lunch and dinner (did I mention I LOVE cooking). This way we can keep track of how much "junk" is getting into our food and our bodies.
This is important to us for health reasons but also because it slows down life. As a mom I think it is my job to slow down the pace of my families life. It is way to easy to get caught up in the "getting things done" attitude. My home is a place where my family stops and takes a rest from the hurried life outside our door.
So if I am not biking, cleaning, doing laundry or homeschooling...I am probably cooking :)
