I again didn't take a picture of the foods because I wasn't the one to go grocery shopping last. I will say that even when others in the house do the shopping less processed foods are being bought. I know that I feel better and have more energy. Everyone else seems to feel better as well. I know that in the future I will be eating healthier, cutting out more caffeine, and other foods that aren't so good for me. I do like the fresh foods over the boxed foods.

I tried the quinoa, it has a delightful nutty flavor (now I sound like a commercial). It was very good, my sister-in-law said the meal I made was very relaxing. I credit it to the choice of the quinoa. Different foods can make you feel differently. Some foods can make you energetic, some can make you sleepy, and others can make you calm and relaxed. Grains can fill you up and keep you calm. The quinoa made feel full without feeling stuffed. I like that it is also a complete protein and is a good source of other vitamins and minerals. I think the next time I make it I will try making it as a risotto.

I decided to try the organic grapes. Which I found that they were not as sweet as the commercially grown grapes, yet they tasted much better. There was no aftertaste like there are with the non-organic grapes. So I was able to eat more of them without feeling icky. The non-organic grapes have a subtle after taste that gives my stomach a feeling of being over full when I've only had a few. The organic grapes didn't have that taste nor did they make me feel like I had eaten to much. I am going to have to eat more organic foods.
