I remember being upset at times too when we were kids at all the health food. As an adult, I sure appreciate what she did for us. I look at the standard American diet as a trip into a bizarre and unnatural realm. One thing I remember well was shopping with her at that natural food store in downtown Bend. It was definitely a hippie experience! I think it's closed now. I think these memories are one of the reasons I feel so at home at our food co-op. While it's not so hippie, it's oh so natural and yummy with lots of gorgeous local produce. (plug: <a href="http://www.peoples.coop" rel="nofollow">People's Food Co-op</a> in Portland, OR) :) Thanks Mom! Nice post sis!

It is true all the really healthy things my mom made me eat when I was a kid didn't always thrill me. I don't know what I would have done with out my friend Lynn who's house was well stocked with sweet cereal and Peanut Butter and Fluff on Wonder bread. Despite my desire to eat nothing but junk food as a child I have grown up, like you, to really appreciate healthy eating (Thanks Mom). Yet, I am not quite sure why it is so hard to persuade my own kids to try some of these really healthy dishes. I have one out of three that will eat anything I put on the plate. As far as the home made soup our mom's should have a cook off. One of my favorites is Ginger Carrot. Although Cream of Asparagus is really good too (made with yogurt instead of cream). And my all time favorite home made bread was Herb and Onion hot out of the oven. There is nothing like home made soup and bread on a cold winter day in New England (I agree though not for breakfast).

My kids beg for homemade bread and carrot juice, too. It's good to know what the adult outcome could be in the future by reading your post. :-) Mmmm….
