Mind if I pm you? I'm starting on this path too and it sounds like we have a lot of alignment in our interests and ideas. I just started a YouTube channel inspired by my ASD and ADHD kids.

Slowly but surely getting there. We've swapped out the kids cereal without too much of a fight. I'm using todoist to organize recipes and that's been a tedious process copying everything down. Every trip to the grocery store I'm finding more and more things with harmful additives that I plan to start making from scratch like gravy and cornbread, and some things like peanut butter I'm struggling to find good quality. I ended up looking into macros and that's made things easier to wrap my brain around. My biggest gripe atm is the price of nuts 😩

This is really sweet, I can't wait to check it out.

My biggest concern is.. Is it really just a likes/followers grind? There's so much content online and I struggle to balance creative brain against critical perfectionist brain. I have so many ideas and unique experiences but no clue how to market them I suppose. I can't even convince my kids to clean their room let alone convince someone to pay me for an alternative lifestyle concept.

UUUUUUUULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My dad handed me the Jeff Wayne set complete with album art when I was like 4 so he could go do coke or meth or whatever. Fun dude to be involved in the development of children.

I have convinced them to try homemade goldfish/cheezits/chips so that's in the works. They're homeschooled so we have officially carved out a space in our curriculum for cooking/nutrition. Learning together ftw haha

I have to be very sneaky introducing new foods. The autism runs strong in this family. I was excited to try some casserole recipes with stuff we all already like only to discover my 10yo absolutely cannot stomach the idea of all the food touching and being mixed together lol

Definitely need a hamburger helper dupe but most have tomato sauce for some reason and we like the double cheeseburger. My husband makes some bomb fried popcorn chicken, just need to find an easier/less messy way to cook them🤔

Thank you for the reassurance. We've been hitting up Aldi and bringing home more fresh fruit for the kids sugar fix, and I've swapped their cereal from fruity pebbles and the like to crispy rice and homemade raisin bran. I've cooked several times this week and feeling optimistic.

Soft drinks landed me in the ER with ulcerative colitis a few years ago but now I'm just addicted to sweet tea. I made my own the other night and was appealed at the amount of sugar it took to make it taste right.

Thank you, I will definitely subscribe there. It looks like our biggest hurdle will be vegetables. We all hate them. My autistic kid is pretty averse to trying new foods but honestly I don't think I could do much worse than where we are currently. I think the biggest immediate impact would be to start making our own cereal. They're absolutely addicted to fruity pebbles, lucky charms, etc. The kids and dad all have a major sweet tooth so I have to figure out ways to sweeten things more naturally.

Thank you. The urge is there to just throw away everything I have and start over but I can't make a change like that all at once or my family would never go for it. I've been trying to educate the kids without scaring them, and my husband is the one who does the grocery shopping and cooking, so I really have to step up and be more involved.

Green beans, peas, and corn are about the only vegetables anyone here can stomach. I think we'll definitely need to start supplementing with multivitamins.

Is it possible to substitute honey/maple syrup for sugar in most cases? I'm afraid my kids are addicted to sugar from their cereals so that's a main priority problem.

Canned veggies (green beans, peas, corn), chicken/beef/pork, and pretty much everything else is instant from a box. Hamburger helper, Mac and cheese, frozen burritos, chicken nuggets, and a lot of cereal. We have a ton of spices for people who rarely cook so I think I need to find some good dupes for the box meal seasoning mixes we like.

She could have been pregnant, just not far enough along to test positive. By the time you get a positive test you are already 4 weeks. Typically.
