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.

Substitutes
What healthy substitutes do you use on a regular basis?
One of my new favorites is using plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. For a while now I've been sneaking it into my sour cream container so my husband wouldn't know. He finally found out the other day, and said to just keep putting it in the sour cream container so he didn't have to THINK about the fact that he was eating yogurt instead of sour cream! You really cannot tell the difference though. I've used it when cooking, baking, as a topping, etc and it always works great.
I also recently saw Flaxseed Milk in the store and thought I'd give it ago. My body doesn't handle milk very well, and there are all kinds of recent studies that show that the cow's milk isn't good for you. Especially with calcium being available in other sources- like the Flaxseed Milk. Well, it was my favorite milk substitute so far- especially as far as consistency goes. Unfortunately, its a newer product, and I've been back to the store that I bought it at and unable to find it again. I'm hoping it grows in popularity so I can find and buy it more often.
