Ah, there's the joke, bluandyelo. While I was knocking myself out to feed them from scratch, it turns out that one of my boys had a great intolerance for milk and wheat -- then I learned to use other milks (nut) and grains (spelt, etc.), but it was all cooked and he did regain his health; but we could have attained another level of health if I had realized it then -- I was more in the mood for changing our eating habits at that time. The boys were a great incentive for me to try things for them.
It takes much more effort to try to change things for just myself (and hubby, too). Gotta do it!! :)
Also, I am thinking that I will be expanding my activities considerably with all of that energy -- and time available. Eating is such a sociable activity!!!!!!!!!!
