This is me buying my weekly fruit and veg at the fruitmongers. I live in Argentina and we still have those wonderful traditional stores like fruitmongers where I can get my organic fruit and veggies. I have a beautiful threenager, a headstrong two year old son and a five month old baby girl.
I have always been health conscious however after having kids I started paying closer attention to the food we eat as a family, and the deeper I delved the more horrified I became by what is considered "normal" food. I live by the philiosophy "you are what you eat", and with childhood cancer higher than it's ever been I have to ask myself whether societies way of eating is to blame? If my kids were to get sick, I, as every other mom would ask myself "How could I let this happen?", so I began changing the way I feed them, with the prayer that at least I can help build their bodies with nutritious ingredients which will keep them healthy. For me that means NO sugar, NO refined ingredients, NO chemicals I can't pronounce the name of, and NO processed or ready made food. I make everything from scratch so I know what goes into their mouths. Then comes the next challenge - my daughter eats most things but my son will just look at something and if it looks like "it's not supposed to taste good", he will just spit it out - he won't even give a veggie a chance! So I began creating creative recipes with "hidden" fruits and veggie themes, and to my delight my entire family, my extended family and our friends absolutely loved my recipes! So I decided to share my recipes via this website and blog, in the hope that other moms can make eating healthy a little more fun for themselves and their families.
