Healthy is where it is at, and local is definitely part of that. Whole, fresh and 'in season' is the best way, but thank God we live in an age where we can supplement that with "fresh" even in the dark days of winter!ronandrosi.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017561625133075475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525535998606031592.post-80079665372233187372010-12-31T15:30:34.503-08:002010-12-31T15:30:34.503-08:00First, thanks to all of you for your well wishes a...First, thanks to all of you for your well wishes and understanding comments. I feel so blessed to have such great people reading my blog...it's inspiring to stay with it. :) <br /><br />@Paula--We must connect about the garden! And I'm happy to hear your hubby got such a great job, and with no commute to boot! Fantastico! I hope to see you guys at the lung 5K in May...it's such a great cause! :)<br /><br />@Linda--everything in moderation, right? I already feel so much more in balance, which is what I'm gathering from this whole experience--balance is key.<br /><br />@Jen--We just got a quarter cow, too...doesn't local beef make the biggest difference? I love hearing about other people making strides where they can, when they can. It's so important to keep it in mind while shopping, sometimes you will be surprised at some of the local ingredients out there! <br /><br />Happy New Year all of you, and I'm excited to make 2011 the best year yet. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595717675760847683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525535998606031592.post-4224289047512850522010-12-30T17:04:01.341-08:002010-12-30T17:04:01.341-08:00Totally hear what you are saying!!

My dad got us 1/2 a cow (from EW) for Christmas (yum) so all of our beef is local. Our extra roosters -- well, they go to Freezer Camp, so our chicken is very local ;) and I have a friend who raises lamb. I get most of our dairy products local too. YOu have to do what you can when you can!! I am glad you will keep blogging, I enjoy reading and seeing your pictures. :D <br />Congrats on your job!jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333913308105149708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525535998606031592.post-74654348358187553482010-12-30T14:42:03.008-08:002010-12-30T14:42:03.008-08:00I was wondering what happened to you.

Moderation is always a good policy.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525535998606031592.post-88161908520747395522010-12-30T11:55:46.720-08:002010-12-30T11:55:46.720-08:00Good for you, Amy!

I certainly empathize with you - my time the last few months has been totally eaten up by preschool holiday crafts and events (one of my 2 part-time jobs)and then extra practices with my own choir Christmas concerts. I feel like my focus on food has taken a real dive. <br /><br />Looking at the whole year in review, though, I see that we have made huge positive strides. We now have a family habit of green smoothies every morning, and fresh juicing every afternoon or evening. We have cut out nitrates and MSG. We have converted to almost entirely whole grains instead of refined. When I look at it this way, I get off my guilt trip and see that we are on the right course, although the winds do blow!<br /><br />Congrats on the new job! My hubby is also in the lung business - his new job since Sept. is as a quit-smoking coach with Free & Clear in downtown Seattle. He recently got the OK to work from home, which is a big relief from the commute!<br /><br />Looking forward to your sporadic posts! Please let me know if you want to meet sometime and start a little garden this spring!Paula Adams Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802776515098037155noreply@blogger.com
