-Change is in the air in my Home- 

 {in a good way, wa-hoo!} 

I start most of mornings here & a couple of weeks ago attended an eye opening class, Whole Foods for Life.   

The class is taught by Miss Foodie herself, Suzy 

{who is darling person by the way} & lives up by me.  I'm so happy that I get to live around so many wonderful people who inspire & teach me everyday.  I live in a terrific community full of caring, health minded & generous people- Lucky!

She has a blog called, Foodie Gone Healthy. I've loved attending her class on how to eat more healthy & add better things into your everyday diet.  HeLLO.... I have my family eating {by the spoonful} fish oil for heaven sakes!  

{It's a super yummy flavorful kind- Barlean's}  

She shared a fruit salad with us during class of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries & pineapple that she just drizzled the flavored fish oil {mango/peach} & flax oil on & that was it- so delicious!  My friends {who were visiting from out of town}  & I were so inspired that we rushed right down to Good Earth & bought us each a bottle. Since then my family has been putting it in smoothies, yogurt, drizzling it on fruit & pouring it onto a spoon & taking it straight down. 

{Just like a spoonful of sugar ;)} 

-The flavored Fish Oils are in the refrigerated section of the store. So many falvors to choose from, next on my list the coconut pineapple one, sounds yummy!- 

Tonight I made a soup that she shared the recipe of in class, Vegetable Soup w/ sprouted Wheat.  

-Picture of the soup from Foodie Gone Healthy- 

It was my 1st time ever attempting to sprout wheat.  Sounds a bit scary but it is really simple to do & much better for you. {Who knew.. I usually use wheat berries to grow wheat grass for Easter decor. Shows you how much I know ;) }

The soup was so hearty, warm & delicious.  

Thanks Suzy, for sharing all your knowledge, awesome recipes & love for food with me. You are an inspiration! Can't wait for class this week.  Check out her blog for more fantastic recipes to try!

*Disclaimer- I just remembered that I shared the Marshmallow Popcorn recipe earlier this week & although it is scrumptious it's probably not on the healthy list.  But it's ok because National Popcorn Day only comes around once a year right?  Maybe I should have drizzled some flax oil in it ;) Haha! Change can't happen all at once.
