The Year's Accomplishments
During 2011, Well Fed Family has addressed many important healthy eating and healthy living topics. Quite often we have featured recipes, ideas and encouragement for weekly meal planning. In January we did an entire series on how to eat well without breaking your budget. Throughout the year we've posted recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even parties. Search the Blog category archives for the keyword "meal planning" for a sampling.
February kicked off our focus on artificial additives in our food supply. There were blogs on artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and chemical preservatives. One of the most popular features on our Facebook page is the photo album titled Not Food that features all sorts of things we shouldn't eat.
Exercise was the focus several times this year. There is no way to separate healthy habits from exercise. I was inspired this year watching the transformation of an amazing friend as she lost a dramatic amount of weight and discovered an inner as well as outer strength. She closed out this year completing a triathlon!
Much of the spring and summer focused on the growing homesteading movement in urban areas. We hoped to coin a new term with MetroFarm. We told you about a number of books on edible landscaping, backyard garden and compost projects and many other ways to move closer to self-sufficiency. Check out the category archives under "book report" in our Blog.
My favorite feature of 2011 was all about babies! The Recipe page gave instructions and ideas for making your own baby food. There were blogs that reviewed several baby food cookbooks giving thumbs up for our favorites and thumbs down for the losers. There were also more baby food recipes in the blog. Food Renegade also launched the Beautiful Babies e-course this year. You might consider blessing someone with this as a wonderful Christmas gift.
The fall season was filled with Weston A. Price Foundation activities. There was the Nourishing Traditions Seminar sponsored by Full Circle Farm was held in Mayo, FL. Well Fed Family sponsored a raw milk taste test during the weekend's activities.
There was also the Wise Traditions 2011 Mythbusters conference in Dallas, TX. We enjoyed the conference and learned so much over that weekend. We tried to keep you updated on Facebook during the conference and will continue to blog about all that was learned.
We are looking forward to a healthy and happy 2012. We thank you for being a part of our journey to good health this year and hope to be a blessing to you in the years to come!
