Eat Food

The freshest apples

Huh?

You heard me right.  I said that Rainbow Plate is about keeping it simple. Well, I don’t think it can get much simpler than that.  The point is, there’s a whole lot of stuff out there trying to pass itself off as food – you know, processed, chemically-infused, mechanically-altered, packaged up stuff that our stores are full of.  Do yourself a favour (and cut the taxes you pay to the government as a bonus!) and leave most of those things behind on the grocery store shelves.

Make a commitment this year to eat more real food.  You know, the kind that doesn’t come in a package, and was once alive!  Now, this doesn’t mean you have to go all crazy and drastic.  Start by committing to make one little change – maybe a real apple for a snack instead of those “fruit snack” things.

Send me a comment and tell me what you’re going to try, or, better yet, send me a picture!

Happy Eating!

Sunshine and Rainbows for the New Year

Happy New Year!

There’s nothing like a beautiful sunny day (even if it is -5 outside) to make you feel like you can do anything.  My challenge to you is to get out and soak up some of those beaming rays, and to capture some of the energy they hold.  Even if you just sneak out at lunch for a 5 minute breath of fresh air, you’ll feel so much better!

Now, skip all those pesky guilt-inducing resolutions, and do something simple and positive for yourself.  Commit to making this the year where you look down at your plate and see a rainbow staring back at you each and every time!  It’s that simple, and it will make you happy and healthy!

Go ahead and give it a try!

Follow along with me for more . . .

Health and happiness,

Janet
