Chicken, orange, apple and almond salad topped with homemade honey mustard vinegarette
Oh so yummy.
Hello Bloggers! While I'm busy busy with home improvements I'm also busy busy with revamping my pantry/fridge/freezer! And I don't mean adding cool decorations or papering the pantry shelves.
I mean getting healthy!
I saw a dietitian last week and we have come up with a food plan for me and it's nothing crazy, it's "MyPlate".
The new USDA sponsored eating plan is the plate instead of the pyramid. So now when I'm making a meal I make sure to have half of my meal be fruits and veggies, and have a protein and a whole grain.
This isn't rocket science people. It's pretty simple. But for some reason visualizing the plate has been super helpful for me. I'm also planning all my meals. I bought this adorable organizer from the one and only Target that helps me plan my meals which will help me save money and prevent unbalanced days!
Feeling healthier already :)
More home improvements to come!
In case you were looking for an easy homemade dressing recipe:
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Wisk together ingredients. Serve.
Yields: 4 Tbsp
I love "MyPlate" I use it a lot with my patients, especially diabetic patients/nutrition counseling. :) Good stuff. Keep up the good work, Lo. Your body and your long-term health are soooo worth it!
