Eat a salad (and one fruit) a day (read all 11 entries…)

Worth doing!

Rainbow Eating  — 1 year ago

I’m finally doing this consistently again. When I was working, I just packed a salad in my lunch and had no problems. Now that I’m at home, I wasn’t doing so well. What changed? I made a game of it! (yeah, I know, I’m 10).

The object of the game is to eat five colors of fruits and vegetables before supper. As you can see from the picture, I usually manage four colors at lunch and another fruit at breakfast (today it was dark purple grapes). My colors took up so much plate real estate that I had to put my chicken thigh and slice of whole wheat zucchini herb bread on another plate to complete my lunch.

This was a fast meal for me, btw—chicken and green bean salad left over from last night, veggie dip left over from who-knows-when so I thought I should eat it, bread made in bread machine a couple of days ago.

SallyKitt will be visited by two pairs of friends this weekend!!!!!

This looks great!

I don’t think that fun dishware should be discounted in our quest to eat more healthfully.

funniculee: OBAMA/BIDEN '08 thinks it's time she got involved.

Me neither.

I love eating oatmeal for breakfast all last winter, in large part because of the lovely blue bowl that I habitually ate it in. I doubt it would have been so appealing without the bowl.

Librarian, that’s a beautiful photo!
