Politics

I really do not think there is much Politics involved in the 2016 Election. Growing up in the South, the term "President of the United States" was about as big as it ever got. There was, of course, such respect even in education when teaching young children about our political system. But then and now is different, Then media had respect now the media is the root to all evil. It is what our children see and live. The media loves lies, secrets, sorrow, stealing, death, scandals, ill will, rape, torture, negativity, wrong doings, and so many bad things. Instead of truth, integrity, guts, accomplishments, creation, arts, education, winning, and so many positive things. Today, I am afraid that is completely gone.  Today people are becoming more and more numb to wrong doings. The media exposes candidates and exploits their entire existence. The media problems really started getting bad in the early 90's. Maybe it was the World Wide Web. The truth is I do not know who to vote for in November. Clinton is a liar and any woman can stand by her based on Trumps videos this is how I call it. If a woman can stand by a man (Bill Clinton) that has exploited women with his awful behaviors and made her to look like a fool. How can you condemn Trump for his words. She did not stand against her husband how can she protect us as a country. Who brought all these images up the media. What really counts to Americas equality, finances, health care, freedom, security, education, and jobs. Did you hear or see any of this during the debate. I watched the whole debate which was horrible for young Americans to watch, Somebody with so much power needs to take the Media down a few notches in my opinion.

Bread made without Flour

Salad Night

Sometimes boring!

Still plugging along with this no processed way of eating. Some of the food is boring so I do not post everything. For example lunch consisted of two glasses of lemon water, flax seed bread, with granny smith apple slices and cheese. Tonight I made zucchini pizza and I didn't have any toppings so not very gourmet looking. I fixed the kids and hubby bake potatoes I not sure they are up on this zucchini pizza.

Beautiful Day in OK

80 Degrees with a breeze! 0 humidity. Track meet and beautiful day to be outside. Walked 5 miles this morning. It is very hard to convince your children they only need small portion, non processed and non sugary foods. I have my little John ready the back of every label so he can see just how bad processed foods are for you.

Meal times

Most family members including myself (the mom of the household) never slows down to think how much most mom's give selflessly to their family. Last night I prepared a meal Zucchini Rice Pilaf with Chicken Kabobs and Fresh Fruit. Cleaned the outside porch table, set the table, cooked in the kitchen, grilled meat outside, cleaned all cooking dishes, made individual fruit bowls, encouraged the kids to do their daily chore, and called my hunny bunny to see if we could eat early.   Which he is always flexible. My dog went nuts over the grill and I had to put him in the garage because he was literally crazy and almost ensured that I fell flat on my face. Thank goodness for quick reflexes. So of course, when hubby pulls in the garage he sends him in the backyard with me again not knowing what just happened. Well, my youngest did not show up for dinner and unfortunate for me I had no cow bell to ring. My daughter that is vegetarian was starving and eating out of the serving bowl before anyone sat down. A few little conversations and with 12 to 15 short minutes everyone was finished and headed to the kitchen with dishes.This is life no doubt about it but its mainly why I would like to just eat a bowl of cereal or a piece of toast.

Lunch

When you do not feel like cooking but  eating no processed foods and have to grab something quick. It is very hard shopping when hungry! Checked my BS it is 95. It will probably rise due to the fruit so I will head out for my usual walk.
