I used to be a Microwave Momma. The faster and easier, the better. I once laughed at people who ground their own grain to make bread. Canned veggies all the way, etc. I know I've covered this before, but it is important to bring this back to your attention. When I was a Microwave Momma, I got my cholesterol checked. It was above 200. It wasn't *too* far over 200, and I wasn't concerned. A couple of years ago, I made the change to official Granola Girl. I cook from scratch as much as possible. I haven't bought a canned veggie in over a year. I raised and processed our own chickens (before we moved to Alaska and into the city). I make jams and jellies. I even, *gasp*, grind my own grain to make bread. I still don't exercise much. In fact, I exercise less than I did back then. On Friday I had my cholesterol checked again. I was simply floored to hear that my total cholesterol is now 174! There have been some changes back toward a Microwave Momma lifestyle since MIL moved in. This report from the doc has encouraged me to hang as tightly to my Granola Girl ways as I can. I felt like this way was better for my family, and now I have proof! |
