Thanks to everyone who came for our grocerystore tour kickoff last night, your feedback was most helpful.  And now with a few tweaks we will plan the next one!  I have a few things to do before I can give you details.  Thanks for following and hope to see you at the grocery store very soon!

Eating Healthy on a Budget

Our Grocery Store tour at Walmart is coming up quick!
We will be meeting at Walmart in Sartell.
Our Tour will begin Wednesday June 26th at 6pm in the Subway that is in front of the store.

This is our first tour, but my aim is to complete the actual tour in one hour.  In order to do so I will give everyone a map and some other informational handouts in the beginning.  Also we are only going to focus on the GOOD food I don't think we will have time to cover the non edibles, So we will have to rely on the handouts to tell you a little about why we may avoid certain foods. For example, why we won't be visiting the soda aisle!

Anyone is welcome to come, just RSVP by Tuesday!
Hope to see you there!

Exciting news!  We are underway on grocery store tours!  We are able to do tours in Coborns Pinecone and Walmart now.  First tour will be the last week of June, I will update you as soon as I have the details ironed out!  It has taken a bit for logistics but we are excited to move forward now!  Comment and let me know which you would prefer first: How to shop healthy on a budget - Walmart  or How to shop for whole body health- Coborns
Looking forward to seeing you there!

New Blog

Hello Everyone!

I am new at blogging, so bear with me as I learn! 

Why I am blogging:

After graduating HS and interning at Teen Mania Ministries for a year I was contemplating what I wanted to do with my life... I only knew one thing and that was I wanted to be a wife and mom.  Also I knew I was supposed to go to school (thanks to my dad), so I decided I would go for something that would benefit my family.  Since I was passionate about nutrition and whole health and I decided that it would benefit my future family, I got my BA in Dietetics... I then went on to get my Masters in Holistic Nutrition with an emphasis in Herbology, but I was unable to finish that degree because my college shut down, and life hasn't allowed me to pursue that once again...yet! 

In the middle of it all, I got married to an amazing man (Matt), and we had 3 wonderful boys (Tate, Brady, and Griffin)...so far...

And here is the game changer... My husband who has had migraines since he was 12 ( I mean really bad ones that put him out of commission for 2 days at a time, 2 times per month) figured out his trigger:
 Gluten, Dairy, Yeast, Egg Whites, Bananas, Parsley, and Oats.
I was always curious about the food allergy piece, but what brought us to get tested was our amazing Chiropractor Faith Schumann.  She sent us in to get a blood test of 110 foods.  The test measured sensitivities.  So he isn't a celiac, and he doesn't have any type of anaphylactic reaction if he eats these foods.  But if they build up in his system then he will get a migraine.  Since he has been on his new diet... over 3 years, he has had only one bad migraine, and that was due to stress and a buildup of some of his no-no foods which he probably was exposed to through eating out, and not being picky enough.

So all this to say; over the years I have become somewhat of an expert on allergy friendly diets... paired with my background in nutrition and holistic wellness, I want to share with you my experience and knowledge. From recipes, to nutrition and health information.

This blog is about healthy whole food, that pretty much everyone can eat! 

My hope is to inspire healthy living through diet and lifestyle... and to encourage those with food allergies they can eat good too!  So here goes!
