Day 64

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 4, 2007

It appears that the stomach flu might be going around our house so I didn't get around to visiting both Wild Oats and Whole Foods -- just Wild Oats because it's on the way home from church. Once I was home I couldn't bring myself to leave the house again. I'd been planning on getting some meat and some of the Whole Foods house-brand pasta.

I'm pretty pleased with myself for sticking only to items that I knew we'd consume soon and, with the exception of the Pirate's Booty and cheese puffs, stayed away from fatty, salty snack foods. And other than the O'Coco's cookie-things, I stayed away from sugar. Both of my kids eat fairly healthily by choice (The Daughter is better than The Son but I'm hopeful) -- I do my best to control what comes into the house and then give them the freedom to choose what to eat and when. I'm very happy with the butter I've stockpiled at the price -- it can be frozen for up to 4 months but with the Holidays coming, there's no way it will sit there that long.
