Tomorrow marks two weeks since Alana came into my house and literally cleaned out my kitchen! First of all let me mention how unbelievably grateful I am to Alana for offering up this opportunity. I am more than thrilled that she chose me to embark on this journey with her.
One of the contingencies of being a part of this program with Alana is that we would have to make an effort to do clean eating. She wanted me to watch the documentary Food, Inc so that I was aware of what is going into our bodies. Friday night my husband Shawn and I sat down to watch the movie and we were BLOWN AWAY by what we saw. We had been eating organic meats for a ten days and I was so glad that I could say we will not be returning to our previous lifestyle anytime soon!
If you haven't seen the movie I HIGHLY recommend watching it. We had already been tossing around the idea of planting a vegetable garden, but this gave us the push in the right direction.
Saturday afternoon we planted a garden in our yard. We bought as many fruits and vegetables as we could find that would grow in our yard- eggplant, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, celery and many more! We also planted several herbs that we can use while cooking.
A few photos of our new garden... will take better ones sometime this week~

ReplyDeleteawesome, we also do a pretty good size garden and absolutely love the summers for it. I'll think about watching the movie but honestly I'm kinda scared!
