I am enjoying my maama's cooking so very much..It is all homemade and no GMO. Oh! how I love my mother!!

You know, my mother is a picky eater. She does not like processed food, she does not like GMO. She also steers clear of meats for the most part. Well, she is not really a tree hugger (like popsy), plus she eats a lot of grass. Nor is she an animal rights activist. She's a "situational vegetarian". In America, she tries not to eat meats because of all the chemicals injected in animals to grow quickly and the processing that goes in the food. The quality of American food is not the best. But she loves those lamb chops at Turkish restaurants and goat meat at Ethiopian restuarants. Her excuse is that, this is Halal meat --cleaner than the regular American food. Her main diet is fish and veggies, and you know she believes fish makes you smarter.

Now, I am growing to grow up on my maama's diet. I have no problem with that, I am enjoying my butternut squash and apple sauce. Dad bought a food processor, which is working all the magic. This weekend, maama was able to make more than a week's supply of food: apple sauce, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and berries, and froze most of it. We don't have to buy those "Gerber baby food cans"; it's too expensive when you can buy you fresh foods and make it at home.

People think it takes a lot of time, but maama says commitment and the love for me is what drives her through. It is not too hard. She feels comfortable doing it this way. Why make short cuts when you'll pay for them in future? A healthy body starts with discipline --better now than later. Very soon, I'll be starting my jogging routine. Maama says, she will buy me a jogging stroller so that we can start going out together. We are waiting for the weather to change for the better
