And tortillas and things are especially convenient with kids – funny considering that we don’t eat any other “convenience” foods, but I can cook up just about anything and they’ll eat it if it’s wrapped in a tortilla. That’s hard to sacrifice, too.

I also eat brown rice a few times a week, and that’s such a comfort food for me.

I probably don’t eat grain more than once a day, actually, but I’m really struggling with that wheat! I have, however, committed to not buying any wheat for this grocery trip. I’m still using tortillas and bread for my kids’ lunches, but it’s easier for me to skip that myself. It’s the stuff I make myself with wheat flour that really presents a problem.

It’s crazy that eliminating all animal products, all processed foods, all white flours, most sugars, etc. would be so easy but this one little grain is so hard to give up! And it’s hard to give up even though I know it makes me sick! How do we do this to ourselves?

Oh, and I am SO JEALOUS about your Excalibur purchase. I’m coveting that and the Vita-Mix in a completely sinful way. :)
