Do you ever feel overwhelmed by fad diets, health food nuts, and nutrition studies that all try and tell you what and how you should be eating? I do. At the same time, I want to make good choices and teach my kids good habits. I believe in sensible choices and moderation in all things. This blog is an ongoing exploration of the things I've chosen to try and adopt. Your choices are up to you.

Coconut oil...And Dekker eats salad!
I remembered to take a picture at the last minute- so sorry it's not the best, I had to do with what was left.
The outside night menue:
Sweet potatoes with mashed in coconut butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Mesquite Salmon grilled on a Cedar plank (my favorite way to prepare salmon!)
Garden salad
Did you know that coconut oil is good for you?! I love those good fats and oils. Did you know you can use it in place of butter on sweet potatoes and its FABULOUS?!
I recently picked up some Vidalia Sweet Onion dressing from Costco. It's pretty dang tasty in wraps, cold pasta salads, as a dressing on sandwiches, and on salads. Seriously, you know it must be good when your four year old eats his serving of salad and then asks for a second helping! He also commented on the hard boiled eggs, which I don't always put in- so I was taking mental notes.
And do yourself a favor- find some mesquite seasoning, heavily sprinkle it on some fresh salmon, then grill it on a cedar plank. Even if you haven't liked fish in the past, you just might "mmm" and "ahhh" over it!
