Low and Local
Well...eating low on the food chain has been a less than motivating call to action for the boys. Here is what I have learned....I'm better off not to fight resistance. What can I do to make our efforts...fun, easy, popular?
So here is what we are trying..rather that just sticking to eat low..we have added local. This would include meat and cheese ( important and motivational to the boys)
The good news...talking about including more beans and grains did lead us into the discussion of whoever cooks has more control over what we eat. This led to Nate emailing my Mom for the slumgullion recipe ( a stew he loves..which includes meat)
Luckily my Mom is very responsive...he got the recipe, wrote down the ingredients, made the stew, it was delicious...he was proud of himself and ready to try that sequence again ( something I want to support)
So, if out of this effort, the boys step up and starting cooking a meal or two a week. I will claim success!!
