I spent a lot of time preparing food this week. I say that out of 3 nights of preparing food, only 1 night was a fail. Making the beat chips was time consuming and they didn't turn out well. Even though I have saved the ones left, I have decided that I will throw them away. I think that the next time I will simply use the complete seasoning mix and cook them for a shorter period of time at a higher temperature. I still have juice to make. I now also need to make bread and will soon need to make another batch of tea. Over time, I realize that the foods and drinks that are made at home are superseding those purchased that are already made.  I like this trend and look forward to it's continuing until all of my foods are the healthies things made at home with the best and healthiest ingredients.
