Where did Susie Homemaker come from?!!

So our family is trying to be more mindful of the foods we put in our bodies. We've starting eating lots of organics and using natural products (aka, my new love for delightful Mrs. Meyers :) Tuesday night, I was in no mood to hit the store for some meat to make supper. So lazy me, decided breakfast for supper was calling the shots. We had organic scrambled eggs (YUM!), warm oatmeal, organic fruit, and these beauties....

Homemade healthy pop tarts. Bea had to make them into hearts. Plain rectangles just wouldn't do. Fancy Nancy much?!! Anywho, in all honesty, I wasn't a huge fan. Ryan thought they were okay. But here's the deal. These are ALL whole wheat pop tarts. I don't do whole wheat. Well, at least I'm still weaning myself off of white flour little bits at a time and jumping straight from sugary terrible for you goodness to 100% whole wheat wasn't a great idea. The concept of these are great but I personally would change some things to the recipe. First, I would do at LEAST a half and half mixture on the flour. Second, I'd stick the dough through the pasta machine to make sure it was thin enough. (ours were too crusty) And lastly, I'd brush a tiny bit of organic butter on the top to give them a little extra yum factor. I'm going to try these again this weekend and see how it goes a second time around.



As if I wasn't crazy enough yesterday, I decided to make homemade tortillas today. The recipe was super simple (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Authentic-Mexican-Tortillas ) but I thought taste wise, they were just okay. I did substitute out half whole wheat flour for the white flour which probably made a big difference...especially in tortillas

All in all, I thought they were okay. I'm having to get used to this whole wheat thing. These tortillas would have been soo good with some greek dip. Nothing like a little mexican and greek combo huh!

To sweeten my day just a bit, the fabulous organic delivery service dropped this delish box off tonight. This weeks contained, green peppers, fuji apples, baby carrots, kiwis, spinach, tangelos, pears, roma tomatoes, and sweet potatoes. I already ate a pear and mmmmm good! I was a tiny bit sad to not have any bananas this week. If ya'll haven't had an organic banana, you are SO missing out! I will say that is one fruit that I can tell a BIG taste difference in.
Oh my the sweetness!
