We often start with great intentions, but get overwhelmed or simply fall back into old habits. I realize that going to a completely organic diet might seem daunting, but my goal is to help you make the transition without the stress. My motto is "Make one change a week". That's it.

Start with what you eat the most of.  If you eat a lot of yogurt, this week make the switch to organic yogurt and that's your one change. Next week, pick something else. Don't worry about doing anything drastic. I had a friend who said her daughter ate a lot of cheese out of a can and she was heartened when I suggested she simply start buying blocks of cheese instead of cans. If you start making these small changes, over the course of 6 months you'll transform your pantry and fridge without even really noticing (I've learned this is a much easier way for a family to make changes together).

You can do this. It's just one change a week. Read more...

So...how did everyone do on the Eat-in challenge??? Perfect score? Couple of blips? Any new recipes?

Me? Ummmm...you weren't supposed to ask.

I know this sounds like a big excuse, but last week was just a bad week for me to eat in. Busy days outside of the house. Tons of business breakfasts and lunches in the city where it wasn't exactly appropriate to brown bag it. A husband in Florida, leaving me with the impossible task of cooking dinner for one (the kids eat at my mom and dad's during the week) which is much harder than cooking for ten in my opinion. Read more...

I don't cook. No, really. I don't. So, why on earth am I excited for this week's challenge? Because the entire MightyNest team is going to join me on this one! We have chefs and non-chefs  in our ranks - so this should be very interesting. Wanna join us??

Details, details...

Starting on February 22, Huffington Post is sponsoring "The Week of Eating In" Challenge.

From HuffPost: "For seven days, we'll invite you to take a pledge to eat in, aka COOK all of your own food for a week. There are no complex rules to follow. Just sign up below so that we can communicate with you, and pledge to do the week by letting your Facebook friends and Twitter followers know what you are up to." Read more...
