Back to the Start

Bravo Chipotle!!

Backyard Chickens....no debate!!

Becoming a vegetarian has opened my eyes to so many food possibilities, but mostly it has made me more aware of where our food comes from. I will never claim to be the most educated, but the more I learn the more confident I am about my food choices. For the most part, I believe society would rather not think about where eggs and bacon come from or at what cost to the animals' lives, not to mention the environmental costs.
When I get eggs I prefer to get them at the farmer's market or from local farms. I know they are organic and not part of a egg "factory". I do not want to eat an egg from a factory, but prefer it come from a chicken. I will eat an egg from a chicken raised on farm or in someone's backyard, where I know that chicken has been in a healthy and free environment.
Now is the time to focus on where our food comes from.
I would like to see a change and small changes matter. Friend's of mine are part of that change. Please read their story. http://www.northjersey.com/news/bergen/139201039_Chickens_and_the_law.html

Komen backs off decision on funding cuts

Komen backs off decision on funding cuts

In the future I know where my donations will continue to go and where they will not. I am happy Komen reversed their decision, but I will not forget. Many women are in need of informed care and have few financially viable options. PP will continue to get my donations.

On being veggie

Ugh! I'm so bored with food right now. Everyone I'm with eats meat. I need a support group. My husband is blaming me for his weight gain. I'm not responsible for his eating habits. I cook the same way as I used to, he is using this as an excuse to stuff himself with sandwiches and BBQ, and etc. He says he would cook dinner for me, but doesn't know what I eat any more. That is such a cop out. He sees me make every kind of veg and all kinds beans and grains. This is crap!
