Matzoh Ball Soup....and Passover

Last night ~ the first night of Passover, we had some friends over. We bbq'd and made some Matzoh Ball Soup....YUM. My favorite...I could eat this every week.
The size of pot we make the soup in is about a 5 gallon pot. So obviously we end up with plenty of left overs. We usually eat the leftovers the enrire weekend.
Today as I prepared the soup for the children I noticed the look of disappointment on their faces. Now mind you, Matzoh ball soup is not much different than chicken soup....it just has matzoh balls in it...but you can take or leave them, so this shouldn't hinder them eating the soup.

This caused me to start thinking about our weekly dinners. I realized that these children have been lacking in homemade foods...and dependent on quick fixes...like chicken nuggets, fries, and things of that sort. Since they are so used to having these types of foods....they have begun to dislike the healthy homemade dinners. This is very much the case of our society in the 21st century...we have become so busy, rushed, and tired .....that these quick, unhealthy meals are part of our every day lives.

I vowed to myself today that all of this is changing in my home. I have vowed to start using my crockpot more, start using the oven or grill...and less frying and fast type foods.
I know that healthy cooking isn't all that cheap~ until now!!!!!

There is a fix. A grocery store committed to providing healthy alternatives, but at an affordable price. Fresh & Easy...check them out: http://www.freshandeasy.com/whoweare.aspx

A great clip I just watched on better.tv was a perfect example of how I can change our eating habits in our home...I hope it might help you too.
