Healthy Living Here We Come

When you set out to start a blog you think that it will be easy and that you will have time to update. The truth is that it takes time to write and post. I have a handful of drafts started, but nothing actually ever got finished. George has been having some stomach trouble and fighting ulcers. He is on medication, but also needed to eat more whole grains and cut back on milk, processed foods, and refined sugars from his diet. He has relied heavily over the years on refined sugars to combat his hypo glycemia. His go to was chocolate milk and donuts. Six weeks in and he is feeling much better and his blood sugars are not crashing as often. There is a lot that can be said about healthy living. I have been baking his snacks and granola bars for his lunches. This weeks specials... Peanut Butter Granola Bars and Banana Bread in a jar. I love making breads in a jar; they pack well and slide right out for easy snacking. Best of all, I do not have to bake more than one loaf of bread a week. One recipe for a loaf easily makes six pint jars. One for sampling and five for his lunches. I hope to share some of the recipes that I create with you. I have been playing with old recipes and changing them up to be healthier and more wholesome with whole grains and less refined sugars. I am actually pretty good at it.
