good food

Getting pregnant with Olivia and especially making her baby food has totally changed my perspective on food.  I have changed how I eat so much, and I am still changing.  There is just so much I don't know and there is SO much junk out there!!
Reading about the whole Taco Bell meat thing is disgusting (http://www.milehimama.com/2011/01/26/is-taco-bell-meat-actually-beef/)... pretty sure Joel and I are totally cutting back (if not eliminating) fast food places like that.  Caruso's all the way baby!

I have spent hours reading and researching online. My most recent addition to my kitchen is coconut oil.



I had always heard that coconut oil has a huge amount of saturated fat, so you shouldn't eat it.  YES, it does have a huge amount of saturated fat, but they are medium length chains, not the long chains found in animal fats.  So our bodies digest these totoally differently and coconut oil is hugely beneficial. 
I'm kinda nervous to use it! Hopefully our food won't taste like coconut!
