More Questions

Gosh, this just seems to get more complicated every day! :) To clarify a couple things. You can have grilled hamburgers, or hamburgers made at home - and you can have homemade pizza. As long as it's made from scratch (not like a frozen pizza).
We now have 24 members! Wahoo! We're up to $360. But I promise that the real blessings will be what is gained aside from the money. Let me know if I've left anyone out...

Snack Ideas

Someone has aksed me to give ideas for healthier snacks; these are some of my favorites...
*Air popped popcorn (after a while you won't even be able to eat the microwave stuff anymore)
*Chips and Salsa (preferably fresh or homemade salsa)
*Edamame (these can take the place of potatoe chips - they are usually in the frozen food section - you can even find them at walmart!)
*Homemade granola - I'll send out the recipe
*Fruit leather -also known as smooshed fruit. You can buy a huge box of organic fruit strips at Costco. So good. Or make your own fruit leather.
*Homemade bread
*Smoothies
*Apples and PB, or cashew cream (recipe to come)
*Almonds, pecans
Write in your own ideas!
And I have a wheat grinder. If you want to try some recipes with whole wheat, bring it over and I'll grind it for you.

Questions...

Becky
For the wellness challenge jounal entry, does it have to be your own journal? I have a journal for each one of my kids, if I make an entry in one of them a day, does that count or does it have to be my own?

Jamie

Jamie, This would be fine and a good idea! - Becky


Does a Quaker granola bar count as a sugary sweet treat?Vi

I would say yes, because if I remember correctly some of the main ingred. are sugar and high fructose corn syrup... -Becky

Welcome, Welcome

Welcome to our very first wellness challenge! I know a lot of you are excited (maybe some of you not so much...) It's going to be a great, challenging, hopefully habit changing, 3 months! Are you ready?
