I was shocked! The events that are occurring in our world surrounding the flux in weather patterns are starting to affect the prices at our local grocery store. I went to the store yesterday and our bill was much higher, for the same foods I buy each week, by about $75.00. It makes our food budget stretch in the right direction. These are staples in many homes around the world and cost a fraction of what processed food or meat does. This is another reason why we eat a lot of rice and beans in our diet. It is challenging feeding our families nutritionally dense meals with how expensive groceries are becoming. I often make a homemade marinara sauce (which they love) that is also packed with vegetables. Then we have our favorite, Rainbow Fried Rice, available for lunch and dinner. We fill them up first thing in the morning to start their days off with a bang of rainbow flavor.
Some ways that I ensure they get at least a few fruit and vegetables in their diet each day are with morning smoothies. It's an easy habit to form and one that I hope we are teaching them to reevaluate. I have to keep on top of their choices, otherwise, they would eat only pasta and bread. They love their pasta, top ramen, noodles, crackers, bread, and all things carb related. My kids, who mostly eat a plant-based diet, are still kids. We are often trying new things in order to achieve our "rainbow a day" mentality of eating our vegetables. It encourages me to think outside the box and look for vegetables that might not be in our family's top ten list. I think using the rainbow as a guide when preparing our daily meals is a great way for me to think about the variety of vegetables available to my family each day. This is a sneaky parent trick, sneaking in as many vegetables as possible under the guise of fried rice, into a dish they love. Next time, I will still bring my warm coat, gloves, and hat but leave some of the other stuff behind. I chose to change more frequently for meals and classes than most. I saw some people there in their pajamas and robes the whole weekend. I am glad I packed warm clothes, the nights were very cold. We didn't know what to pack because the weather in Oregon this time of year is all over the place. So clothes while in the hot tubs is not necessary, you will need clothes to walk around the retreat center and to dine in the cafateria. We way over packed! Keep in mind this resort is an optional clothing hot springs. Our stay was for 3 days but you need to bring your own bedding, pillows, bathroom stuff, etc. They provide pull dollies to carry your stuff from your cars to the cabins.

The attendant in the registration office was informative and welcoming. Checking in at the parking lot was a piece of cake. We arrived, our first time here, to a little bit of paradise.
