Day One.........

Mike and I have decided to try a more plant-based diet for our family. With the rising costs of well practically everything we decided that this would be a perfect transition time especially because it is also summer time. I have been reading alot about it and am convinced that this will be the best thing for our family. So last night for Family Night we talked to the girls about our bodies and how important they are and that they are a gift from our Heavenly Father. We told them we were going to be eating a little bit differently because we need to take care of the insides of our bodies just like we take care of our outsides. Great preface right? They were really excited at the thought of being able to "run even faster"! For our family prayer McKenna asked that we be blessed with "healthy food for our bodies" and during their personal prayers they both asked to be more healthy. Mike and I were feeling pretty confident our FHE did the trick! This morning when McKenna woke up she asked what "healthy new thing" we would be eating. They were so excited to try our new food. I decided to make a banana muffin with a side of grapefruit. Well to put it simply they HATED it. They took a few bites and asked if there was something else that was healthy that they could eat. I told them that, that was it and to just try a few more bites. McKenna practically gagged on the grapefruit and Brynlee picked the poor muffin to pieces. It looks like we need to be praying for our taste buds rather then the food! This looks to be more of a transition then I was thinking. Hopefully the coconut rice for lunch goes a little better....If not we have alot of fruits and veggies to snack on I guess :)
