Hi! I'm Jenn, the Dance Diva. My journey of better nutrition stems from the desire to feed my family nutritious food on a tight budget. I have four fabulous kids and a wonderful husband. The problem is they eat, a lot. So after going down the time-consuming and conflicting pathof coupon shopping for highly processed foods that only cost me pennies, I decided to stop.
I started with just making my own bread, then my own buns for burgers and
hoagies. Slowly the snowball started and I was making more nutritious items for my dinners, and it was only costing me pennies. I stopped feeding my children box cereal every morning and started making them nutritionally acceptable breakfasts. Then I watched Food Inc. and that got my mind turning. I started making conscious choices about the products I was buying with my budget. Next I went to see Forks Over
Knives, and wow did that strike a nerve. So here I am, almost forty and starting down another nutritional path with my family in tow. Will we become a totally vegan family? Sadly, I can’t say for sure. I do love a good smoked pork butt, on occasion. However, we will be starting off by adding one or two meals a week and more raw fruits and veggies to the diet. Maybe a little exercise to boot.
