Happy, Healthy Lifestyle

So much changed this summer in our house.  Mommy and Daddy realized that we all need to eat healthy and live a healthier lifestyle.  Mommy started making as much food from scratch as she can.  We eat fresh baked bread, fresh baked cookies, fresh baked crackers, homemade tortillas, and she makes her own almond milk and oat milk.  Anything we want to buy at a store that is not a fruit or a vegetable, she makes herself.  She says she was tired of all the chemicals in our food and she wanted to ensure that we have as much whole food ingredients as possible.  Everything is whole wheat and whole grain.  I mostly like everything she is making.  Well, they took it a step further and now our entire diet is mostly plant based.  No more meat, no more dairy, except the fresh eggs we buy from a lady in our neighborhood that raises her own organic, non GMO fed chickens.  We started our own vegetable garden too.  We have planted cucumbers, red and yellow peppers, mint, sweet and thai basil, zucchini, radishes, carrots, onions, chives, and red and yellow tomatoes.  At first I was not happy that our diet would be mostly fruits and vegetables, but I am getting use to the idea and I really like that we are sparing precious animals lives, while encouraging good health for our family.
