My first resolution is to rid my home of processed food. Almost ALL of us have processed food in our home. It's easy to buy, quick to prepare, and our kids LOVE it, so why not have it on hand..? Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Velveeta, Instant Potatoes, Frozen Chicken Nuggets, and Eggo Waffles just to name a few. I have been experimenting with different recipe "fake outs" that use whole foods but taste similar if not better than the boxed stuff. These recipes also allow you to make more food for less money. I've also found that some of the recipes allow you to make a large volume and then freeze. I will post some recipes in the days to come that I have made, the kids have loved, and are pretty simple to make!
The second resolution is to remove more harmful chemicals from my home. This last year I changed over the chemicals I use on a daily basis to a Natural Green Cleaner. I truly believe we feel better, I am not worried about the side effects of using my "Green" cleaners, and again they are more cost effective. I have another list of products I still use with harmful chemicals that I hope I can change to a greener safer option this year. I will share my recipes for the cleaners I not only use, but ones I hope to add to my list this year in a separate post so that anyone interested can make notes.
Of course I have a handful of other resolutions I would like to accomplish like... Lose weight, take more time for myself, and purchase all special occasion cards ex. Birthday & Anniversary; that way I always have to perfect card in my card box, and the special person receives it ON TIME!! We will see if this year I can accomplish all of these things!
