In my humble opinion (and I'm allowed to have many since this is my blog!) ALL plant foods cultivated in optimal conditions and consumed at their peak of freshness should be considered Super Foods!  Just because we've recently discovered that Resveretol is a potent antioxidant and is found in high quantities in Blueberries or Acai doesn't necessarily mean the latest age-defying discovery won't be found tomorrow in the sun-kissed, fuzzy peach (or another unassuming fruit or vegetable) right in our own backyard!

Point being that I've just found it to be far too difficult to even begin to retain the knowledge of all that goes along with the intricate workings of the human body and mind in relation to what the last diet book said or what the newest in the ever-changing field of science has found!  Attempting to incorporate all of it into my daily life is not just impossible, but much of it seems to defy common sense, my pocketbook, and/or practicality anyway! 

Because I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, this has brought me to the Lifestyle I keep today...I haven't owned a bathroom scale in over two decades and my favorite pair of old (and I mean old) blue jeans that I use to remind me when I've over-indulged too many times, still fit.  I have a healthy weight constitution, a feeling of abundance and not of denial, with no horrid calorie or carb counting!  I use logical and simple guidelines for enjoying satisfying sustenance in my busy life in a hectic world.  It has truly put the 'joy' back in mealtime for me and my family!  And this is my hope for you too!

So, I would like to share with you what I've learned through my years of seeking a simple, satisfying way to enjoy the foods we eat while knowing we're getting the proper nourishment to keep us out of the doctor's offices and living a long, happy life!  A few shopping changes to your pantry and a simple learning curve about the goodies you eat and soon you'll be enjoying a Lifestyle of fulfillment and satisfaction that will last you FOREVER!
