I've been doing some thinking...

Dangerous...I know! Mix that with a little bit of reading, as well, and watch out! Seriously, though, I think the name of this blog is actually a big misrepresentation of what I am doing. I am trying to eat more unprocessed foods, that is true. However, mostly what I am doing is cutting out unnecessary chemicals and additives from my daily diet. The way I see it, pretty much anything aside from fresh meat or produce is processed in some way or another. Even if it is just plain whole wheat flour, that wheat still went through the process of being ground into flour. See what I'm saying? The true unprocessed foodies in the world would scoff at this blog as they ate their whole, unprocessed, virtually untouched foods. Sounds great, but not so much for me and my family. Like I said, my goal is to try to cut back on all of the unnecessary ingredients found in so many of our foods today. Just wanted to clear that up...

On another note, tonight I ditched the packet of Taco Bell taco seasoning that I usually use to make tacos, and instead I made my own seasoning mixture. I found a great recipe for it at allrecipes.com. It was super easy to put together, all of the ingredients were things that I already had on hand, and best of all, there were no chemicals or additives needed! Yay!

One small step in the world of making tacos, but one large step in the world of unprocessed eating.
