A lot of wheat-free foods are only good if you can’t have the real thing. Since I can’t eat wheat, but my husband can, I’m constantly looking for wheat-free foods that we can both enjoy. Mochi is my latest obsession.

A/V Fridays - Food Matters

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

I’m excited to see this movie. I came across the trailer the other day and had a hard time waiting until Friday to share it with all of you.

While hearing that our food and medicines are making us sick may seem like doom and gloom, I’m inclined to look at it the other way. Think about the control you have in your health and healing. Think about what you can do to make yourself feel better just by eating well.

I think a lot of times in our lives today, it’s easy to feel out of control. But you can take the reigns and have a major positive impact in your health. I think that’s exciting.

As we just discussed, I hate shopping.  That does carry over into food shopping too.  And I’m kind of a child about it.  I need to motivate myself to go with little rewards.  In the case of going to the natural foods store, if I go, I let myself buy a natural soda from their fabulous selection.  I know that’s weird, and I’m probably sharing too much, but it’s just the way it works.  I hardly ever drink soda otherwise.  It’s all water or tea.

Yesterday’s soda selection was outstanding. (more…)
