Make a list and check it twice. Your grocery list that is! Healthy eating in the home starts with shopping healthy and shopping healthy starts with a well thought out grocery list.
Got sugar plum fairies and Christmas cookies dancing in our dreams? Step out of the cookie craze for a minute and pluck that plum out of your dreams and put it on the grocery list!
Rich, luscious purple plums are a good start. Now keep the whole rainbow in mind as you make your list. Different colored fresh produce provide different nutrients. Don't just fill your list with green veggies; add some red peppers, red onions, purple grapes, orange carrots, blueberries, pumpkin, cauliflower... With such a selection there is no need to get stuck in a canned string bean and corn niblets rut.
Take a moment while shopping and see if they are offering any fresh produce you never tried. Pomegranates are available now in many local grocery stores and make a refreshing holiday snack. Mashed roasted turnips might be a tasty substitute for mashed potatoes in your holiday feasting and you just might start a new holiday tradition!
