Well it is nearing the end of this year’s TOS Homeschool Crew review year. One of the products I received for free to review as part of the crew was Sue Gregg‘s Introducing Whole Foods Cooking.

This book contains information in order to get you started on a whole new lifestyle of nutrition and well-being. If you ever have considered investing into your own and your family’s well-being then this may be something for you.

As I consider the world today and what we eat as individuals as well as how we spend our time together as families around the mealtimes, I notice a disturbing trend toward unhealthy eating habits as we grab processed foods that are quick and easy but lack the nutritional value that our bodies crave and need to survive and be healthy. Often fast food restaurants fill our meals. If this is something you are concerned with, then maybe you have also considered how to break free from it. After our family received the Introducing Whole Foods book from Sue Gregg, we made a commitment towards the goal of eating better. Admittedly such a major change is not easy and sometimes it does not happen over night. Our family is still working on this even after most of this review year but we have made small steps that hopefully will allow us to reach our goal eventually.

What I liked about Sue Gregg’s Introducing Whole Foods Cooking
was that it explained the whys and hows of whole food cooking and did so with a Biblical approach, The book itself contains a few recipes and meal plans as well as a load of valuable information about nutrition and how to get started on this lifestyle change. You can also find a section called Food to Faith which is a student Bible study that guides you through 6 studies from the gospels of Luke and John. In addition there is a PowerPoint CD included with the book that demonstrates the recipes from the book along with pictures, has the 6 re-printable Bible studies as well as one semester of Whole Foods Menu Planning & Meal Preparation Curriculum for the SueGreggCookbooks Cooking Course.

I can tell you that we have tried several of the recipes from this book and each one has been a success in our home from the preparation to the table. My oldest has gotten her first taste of actual food preparation and cooking that has gone beyond making sandwiches and heating up soup to actually preparing a full sit down meal. She not only just asks to help in the kitchen but asks to prepare the meals herself.

If you are thinking of making the change toward healthier living the way God intended it to be then I suggest checking out Sue Gregg’s website for yourself and seeing all that they have to offer. There you will find samples of recipes as well as more information from them to help you decide for yourself. The book I reviewed, Introducing Whole Foods Cooking, is a good one to get started and can be purchased for $17 here.
