I already know Vit D is a problem area for all of us so that is a supplement already being taken here. Kefir is a favorite although I STILL have not started making my own. I will eventually, its on the list. Just making my own I already know Vit D is a problem area for all of us so that is a supplement already being taken here. Kefir is a favorite although I STILL have not started making my own. I will eventually, its on the list. Will save a fortune. My kids love Kefir and will drink it just like they would milk. I could easily spend 60 or more on just yogurt and Kefir in a month.
I would like to cook so much heathier. I just gotta do it on a tight budget. I am finding though that even making from scratch and avoiding the convenience foods just doesn't save enough to make up for the costs of the healthier foods. I am just looking for ways to get the best of both worlds. Even if I can just make small improvements I think that will show health improvements. I bought flax seeds thinking that but I simply don't know how to cook with them apparently. Everything I added it to my husband deemed GROSS. It did not go well. So I just gotta find the right recipes. Problem is I look at all these healthy recipes and none of it my family will eat and the stuff they will is way out of the budget.
Oh and btw stuff like elderberry syrup and anything hylands is MUCH cheaper on Swansons website than buying from the health food store. Tons cheaper.
