Our Kids Daily Menu

If you're a parent who wants your children to eat more healthful foods or lose weight, you can safely incorporate many of these foods in their lives.  One of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is to expose them to a large varity of fresh fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, nut butters, and other healthly foods at a very young age.  We firmly believe that a child who eats this way and learns the value of health will never develop a weight problem or eating disorder.  Here is an example of some of the foods our kids love.

A Day in the Making of TBFC Website.

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.  Preparing for this day would of seemed a burden in the past.  Now, it is my life, our life!  At 5:30 am we wake and set off to live our life yet again, enjoying each moment the day brings.
 This is Sardine Canyon.  A beautiful drive to Salt lake from Logan.  And were off....
PHOTO's TAKEN FOR SITE.  DONE!  Scratching this off the "to-do" list made this day a very good day. :)

20 poses, 340 pictures, and 3 hours later we finish earlier than expected. What to do with the rest of the day? LUNCH anyone? :) 


SAGES (located downtown) is must try for anyone who has an appreciation for beautiful, healthy, organic, high quality food.  <3

Ryan ordered the special, Chile Rojo.  Simply Devine!

My Lunch, Rawtas Raw Pesto Salad.  I devoured this! 

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. 

A nice relaxed atmosphere, good company, and good food keeps us at SAGES for 2 hours.:) 

Dessert! <3  The Dark Chocolate Truffle Combo.  Awe....if heaven has a taste, this is what it would taste like. 

Another great thing about driving out of Logan to Salt Lake (besides the food, shopping, sites, and energy) is the availability of stocking up on our favorite foods. Stopping at Good Earth on the way home is a must if we want the luxury of Raw Goat Cheese, Raw Nuts, and Synergy.

A treat in our house.


Ryan's Favorite!

And, Synergy for us both.  One for the Road, and two to save for later. :)

Time to head home....


Today was a good day.  As I think of where our life is going, where we want to go, and how we are going to get there.  A song from Bob Marley comes to mind....

"Life is one big road with lots of signs.  So, when you riding the ruts, don't complicate your mind.  Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy.  Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality.  WAKE UP AND LIVE!

To life!

~Love, Ryan and Kristie Belliston

Yes, the Farmers Market.

Carrots!
We feel there is no better way to get your Veggies than by visiting the Farmers Market.  Here we are getting our Veggies in in St. Petersburgs famous saturday morning market.  What a spectacular way to see the food we all should eat more of.


Baskets full of fresh Egg Plant.  


 Now what a Radish Site.  Radishes are the most beautifying of all foods.  The Radishes rejuvenative properties are found in its high sulfur, silicon, and vitamin C content.  These minerals and vitamins work together to create glowing beautiful skin. 

Cucumbers have a reputation as the best kidney cleanser known.  They are a natural diuretic; thus, they prevent bloating due to water retention, and they help wash the kidneys and bladder of debris and stones. :)  One of the most beautifying and cleansing of all juices combines celery, apple, and cucumber together in the following ratio:
4-6 ribs celery
1 apple
1 cucumber


What Beauty. YES SHE IS!!!
