This week I have started really thinking cooking healthy for my family. I grew up in the south, standing beside my Grandmother's watching them cook chicken n dumplings, homemade biscuits, pork roast and gravy, gumbo, shrimp stew, red beans loaded with sausage,cakes,pies,Cheese Cake and of course everything was fried. So I kinda feel a little lost, because I know that I have to change the way I cook for the health of my family.I constantly worry about my children's weight. I look at my Son, and he is following in my footsteps, and it scares me to death.I have been online looking at healthy recipes,but is it to late? The only way that I can get them to drink 2% milk is to pour it in a whole milk jug.My husband does not eat yard bird as he calls chicken. I tried to switch them to Coke zero,and will they drank one can and they never touched it again. So I have to basically trick them to eat healthy. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to switch a family over to healthy eating habits?
