A variety of foods that are healthy and tasty.

2016

We all want to eat healthy when a new year begins.
After finishing off all the goodies that were baked over the holidays.
Easier said than done.
I have made a mental list of foods that I will cut back on.

Less meat maybe once a week (maybe twice)
Stop baking every day.
More greens and salads.
Cut portions we already have done this in 2015.
No candy dish full.
Well that is a start!
