Hello Everyone,
I am Timea, a mom to four awesome boys and a wife to an amazing husband. I have been a lactation consultant since 2001 and a holistic lifestyle coach since 2008.
I love life and I love creating meals that are holistic, nutritious for the body and soul. I love seeing my children try new things and love creating meals that turns into some one's favorite. I love to eat and if I eat the right kind of food than I fell well and happy.
We have been trying to leave a holistic lifestyle ever since my twin boys were born, February 20,1991. Can't believe I will have 20 year olds in a couple of months.:)
I have decided to do a blog on sharing my recipes and experiments. I have many traditional Hungarian recipes that I still make and I try other cuisines as well. But almost always I alter the recipe for our taste and to make it more healthy.
I stopped using margarine years ago when someone, I can't remember who, asked me to put a pound of margarine and a pound of butter out in the garage during the summer month for a couple of weeks and see what happens.
Well, nothing happened to the margarine it looked, smelled and even tasted the same way when I put it out there. Then I read that margarine is one molecule away from being plastic. Hard to believe but that did it. I don't want to eat or even feed plastic to my children.
I also avoid soy as much as possible. I find the easier to do that is by cooking from scratch and using as few premade, prepared items as possible.
We have stopped consuming dairy about 18 years ago. What a blessing to our bodies. The only thing that I still buy that is dairy is cheese made from RAW milk and i get it from the health food store and organic butter.
In the past 2 years I have been experimenting with gluten-free baking and cooking and I just love the outcomes. No one in my family have ever been diagnosed with gluten intolerance (celiac disease) but it sure make me feel better and in less pain when I avoid gluten or actually avoid all grain.
The only grain that I can eat without pain is rice and quinoa.
Because it is Christmas time I will start with some traditional Hungarian cakes that I always make for Christmas. I have not tried it gluten free yet, that is my next project but the recipes are altered a bit.
I hope enjoy this blog and will try out some of the recipes.
To Your Health
Timea
