I love going to the grocery store and coming back with a bag full of fresh fruits and vegetables, instead of boxes and bags of gross processed foods. I do still buy processed foods, but lately, it's been more of nature's ingredients like the ones above. Being a print designer, I know that we often pay more for the packaging than the actual product, so I'm weaning myself away from them as quickly as I can not only to eat healthier, but to save money. Aren't we all into saving money?
My friend gave me a bag full of huge, juicy oranges over the weekend and I've been eating at least two a day. I can't wait to make my favorite spinach salad tonight for dinner, and prepare a cucumber tomato salad with lemon dressing for tomorrow's lunch. Who said mealtimes had to be complicated? Think how much healthier it would be if you substituted a baked sweet potato for french fries next time you make hamburgers for dinner. Personally, I feel so much better when I eat raw produce. I hope to keep this up so that my kids will also enjoy eating green beans and asparagus. It can be done, I've seen it. It just takes a little thought and planning.
