Dinner On The Homestead

Dinner On The Homestead

On the homestead we have a basic belief that we should eat what we need to live and be healthy. Many eat by the clock, while others just live to eat the next meal. Often people do not have or take the time to cook, so they drive through one fast food establishment and on to the next. 

Today's dinner meal is one of our favorites. Falafel (made from Garbanzo beans), hummus (also made from garbanzo beans with many spices), a small potato (we grow purple, sweet, and white), sweet pepper (we grow green, orange, and red), and orange carrots (we grow purple, red, orange, and white.)  Today, we actually only had four colors on our plates. It is recommended that you have at least five colors on your plate at each meal. Throughout the day, however,  we do get at least five colors in what we eat. 

It is wise to eat as fresh as you can. The more you can grow, the better you can eat. It really does not matter what you do to stay healthy, if you do not eat wisely. The more fruits and veggies that you have on your plate, the better it is for you. Usually our lunches are mostly raw veggies and our breakfasts are heavy on fruit. We eat a small amount of organic dairy in the form of sherded cheeses and yogurt. This keeps our bodies fueled and ready to go.

It is good to ask yourself: Do I eat to live or live to eat? Your answer could spell  life or death. As you travel the world, you will pick up new ideas , but the key is to keep it healthy and light. Eat as fresh as possible and strive to grow all you can. The more you grow, the more control you have over how well you eat.  Enjoy preparing meals that will impact your life in a good way. Eat only what you need to live.
