Eating healthy is essential for moms, yet - sometimes - it's hard to make the right food choices. I have some thoughts on that:

Healthy Recipe: Pasta Salad

It's so easy to make a pasta salad at the beginning of the week and snack on it all week long.

Let the pasta be the secondary part of the salad.
Choose whole grain or gluten free pasta.

In addition to the pasta, chop up cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, olives, baby spinach leaves, and artichoke hearts.
Add black beans or garbanzo beans.

You can douse your salad with store bought Italian dressing and let it marinate. Or, consider making your own dressing for better flavor and higher health.

Enjoy.... all week long.

I've just gotten better with this.

Right now I am consuming freshly made green vegetable juices, salads, and a small amount of meat or carbs (but not both), everyday.

I'm waiting for my kids to catch on.

BTW, Love your site.

The "kid part" is still the hard part for me too! I've been a foodie all my life - but I've enjoyed healthy foods just as much as I've enjoyed junk foods.

My one regret is that I did not maintain healthier eating with my children. It was so cute when they ate their first Oreo cookie. It feels hard to make huge changes now, so we are doing it in small steps.

I agree with Yvonnie on all counts. First, I do love this site. Second, I AM getting better and eating more fruits and vegetables then ever before. The kids actually like more vegetables then I do so I'm not sure who is teaching who here.LOL...

ha! Thanks, Dianne.....

There are always new vegetables to discover.
The farmer's market is a great place to get excited about veggies.
You can google anything and find a recipe that sounds good.
