18 months away...

Yes, to anyone reading, this might look like one for the blog graveyards out there. It's not that it's died, it's more that it's been neglected. But the lifestyle hasn't been neglected and that's what's important. In fact, these days, I should rename the blog "Raw Granola Bits" because I eat Kaia raw granola nearly every day. I've achieved my goal of becoming nearly unprocessed in the 18 months I've been away. But a great many things also happened while I've been gone. Including:

—I got pregnant.

—I had a baby.

—I spend a lot of time chasing after a just-crawling little guy who will be 8 months next week.

—I also spend a lot of time making his baby food — both his milk and his fruits and veggies, which I steam, puree and freeze in ice cube trays.

But amazingly, with all the craziness going on here, I've actually become more dedicated to an unprocessed lifestyle. I often eat raw until dinner and at dinner I usually only have cooked quinoa or bread I make myself. No more cereal, cola (diet or otherwise) and very little cheese — maybe some mozzarella once a week (yes, I know I should improve on this, and I plan no it).

I've also begun blogging about pop culture at my new job, making it harder to keep up with Granola Bits. But as was reinforced with my new son, I think nutrition is important and it needs to be discussed. Therefore, I'll be here discussing it for whomever is out there.
