Striving Bean – Good Food to Feed your Family

Strawberries

You’re busy, you don’t want to go broke, and you want to feed yourself and your family good food. Me too.

I’m Micaela Vega – a web professional, working mother of 2, writing about bringing healthier food options to my family.

Sometimes my kids like it, sometimes they don’t. I’ll let you know about both. I’m a realist with hope!

With experience and experimentation, I’ve learned creative ways to incorporate healthier choices onto our family’s plates.

We’re not perfect. Yes – we like our treats! But we strive to eat well. And eating well can be a challenge when your time is limited. Maybe you’re like me and don’t have extra hours on hand to whip up daily banquets – but you don’t want to throw in the towel and feed your family bad-for-you food.

My favorite foods: Healthier grocery store finds, organic, from the garden, and local. And I always have my food budget in mind.

Have you noticed all of my bean recipes? In 2008 I decided to serve more beans to our family. You can read more about our “Bean Challenge”.

I’m glad you’re here. Sharing information and “making ripples” is something I enjoy. I hope you enjoy reading and become inspired to “Strive Bean” too!
