My Green Diet
By Lynn, on May 24th, 2007
I have challenged myself to eat more green. If you think about what people ate 200 years ago, I am sure it was not boxed, pre-packaged food full of white flour and refined sugar. I am sure they would have looked at you like you were from Mars had you offered them some high-fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil. I think they ate a lot of green.
I am not complaining about all of the wonderful conveniences we have now, mind you. I am just knowing it would be healthier for my body to eat more green.
I am challenging myself to put a little more fresh green into every meal.
For breakfast, eggs scrambled with fresh garlic chives. I put them on a sandwich with just a tiny grating of cheese for flavor and topped it with a lot of fresh arugula from the garden.
It was really good. I’ll be drinking a lot of fresh herbal teas today.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
