The Manifesto.

Why Avocado and Beer? Here is what I think; life is about moderation and food should be enjoyed.  You need some avocado (the healthy yummy stuff) and some of the beer (the just plain yummy).  I don't force myself to eat tofu all week and then go crazy on the weekend.  This is life, it has to be sustainable.

In this era of too much and never enough... we have to eat well to really appreciate the treats. What I need to enjoy cooking and food planning is just one avocado (more specifically in the form of guacamole) and one beer (more specifically in the form of Spotted Cow).  So when I was brainstorming about a healthy food planning blog name.... it was natural.

Here is my deal. I like a plan, ask my family. They would agree. So I use my own list and make a menu every week.  My list has the Festival Grocery Store isles listed in order, so I can make a menu and list exactly what I need to make.  My goal is to only go once.

I have a family, three little girls and a fantastic husband.  I am also a Family Physician.  So I think about and talk about food and weight everyday.  My frustration; it is very difficult to have meaningful discussions about daily healthy decisions in just a few minutes once a year.  So here is my attempt to share what works for me.  It is moderation on a daily lifelong scale.  It isn't a "diet" but it does involve a plan.  It is a little Avocado and a little Beer.
