I'm back!!!

This blog started years ago as a way to document our lives when we lived overseas in Italy. We are once again embarking upon an overseas tour. This time it is South Korea. We are also taking on a new health challenge in our lives--all non processed food! A friend of mine said I should start a blog of the journey to non processed food so....since I already have this one and we have 2 new adventures, I may as well start back up. Right now I have complete chaos on the moving front. I would love to get everything organized and ready to go, but we are, of course, waiting on our orders. The Army never does anything on the timeline I would like :) So, I have a basement that is divided into storage, sell, and ship piles. I also have stuff all over my house that I'm just not sure what to do with. When going to Korea, the Army only allows for half the normal weight allowance. That means 7500 lbs for us...that goes fast! We will be taking our couch, one recliner, the tv/wii/xbox, our beds, a couple of dressers and bookshelves, the piano, and the kids toys, and clothes. Seriously that is about it...we are trying so hard to downsize! We will get loaner furniture once we get there to make up everything else...oh and I did forget one major thing...my crazy husband is insisting on taking the pool table! HA! So that will make up our weight:) Next week is Spring Break...the kids are all going skiing with their grandparents and Shane will be TDY so...cleaning, sorting, and packing are what I will be doing for a full week. We hope to get the movers here on 2 April...we shall see. The eating game is going pretty well. The rules are...Everything we buy has to have 5 ingredients or less and we have to know what they all are, less meat, and less dairy. So far we have found some fantastic recipes for dinners, breakfasts, and snacks. It is a challenge to pack lunches for everyone everyday, but I am getting there...trying to go beyond just sandwiches and fruit. The big thing I have going on right now is bread. I have been making homemade and it is going ok...I have found a recipe that we really like the flavor of, but it is quite heavy and dense. I am going to work on it next time I bake bread (a couple of days from now) and see if adding some gluten will lighten it up...I'll keep you posted. I'm going to close out for now. I'll try to be more creative with my posts from now on..pictures and more exciting topics, but today my goal was just to get on here and do some updating. Have a great day!
