Eating Wheat

With all of the different diets out there it can be tricky deciding what is good for your family. One day an expert might claim that something is the new super food, and the next day a new study says it will kill you.

Wheat is one of those ingredients that seems to be the item of much diet debate. Some individuals have food sensitivities and allergies to gluten, while others aren’t sure if wheat is good for them.

For those who can eat gluten, wheat is a great source of fiber and nutrients. However, with our modern diets switching to whole wheat can’t always happen all at once. That is why this recipe calls for one cup normal flour, and one cup wheat flour.

If you switch to all wheat all at once, you might experience some tummy and other issues including gas, bloating, and constipation. That is why it is best to slowly add wheat to your diet. As your digestive system gets used to the wheat, you can add more until you eventually can handle 100% wheat.

Healthy Eating Tips for Kids

With two kids that are on the Autistic Spectrum, I know how hard it can be to get children to eat healthy. I will be the first to admit, my kids diet could be healthier.

However, over the years I have learned a trick or two to get kids to eat something that doesn’t come straight out of a package.

  • Take kids shopping with you and let them choose 1 new veggie to try.
  • Smoothies! (Blending greens with berries works since the reds and purples of the berries disguise the green of the spinach, kale, etc.)
  • Plant a garden and have the kids help choose plants and seeds.
  • Have children help plan dinner menus.
  • Take kids to a new restaurant and let them choose a new item to try.
  • Make up stories with vegetables as main characters.
  • Make plate pictures, using vegetables create works of art with your food.
