Week 5- Foods in MY kitchen!
I loved learning about different foods and different properties they had in relation to their color. Turns out I have a lot of yellows; bananas, lemons, yellow onions...plenty of Vit. A, B, and E, sodium, potassium, selenium, and chromium. (just trying to get this straight in my head!) I have oranges, carrots, sweet potatoes, and one pink grapefruit...strawberries, red grapes, red apples, chicken, a little red wine, red potatoes, tomatoes, and black beans to get a little of the Vit. C, beta-carotene, iron...I think I need to add some beets! I have some kale, spinach, and avocadoes...yes!! I did happen to go grocery shopping over the weekend, and feel so blessed to be able to have all these fresh fruits and veggies. There is a container of miso in the back of my fridge, and some parmesan cheese for special occasions! Living at home I never ate this well! We had a healthy diet, just not much variety. I probably mentioned it before, but we mainly had beans and rice, and on Sundays potatoes and salad were a big treat! We had plenty to eat, it would just get eaten up in a day, so my folks weren't big on keeping fruit around. So anyways, yes, I do love grocery shopping and preparing my meals for a couple of weeks. Then, if I think about having something sweet, I have plenty of fruit. Want a healthy snack? Eat a yogurt, missy. School is just so hectic that I like to make sure I am nourishing my body, staying organized, and not eating out(except for a treat!:).

Im glad that you mentioned yogurt as a snack. I forgot that I have those in my fridge. Good for you and easy...two things I love.
