Food.

Today I discovered the mypyramid.com website. It is awesome. I played around on it today and found a bunch of cool tools. It has Food Gallery's in the different food groups where you can see real pictures of what serving sizes are, it has the new food guide pyramid and if you give your age, height & weight it gives you recommendations for your needs. Also you can set up a personal profile where you can keep a food diary and it analyzes what you ate and gives you back a whole bunch of information- like how your diet compares to the Dietary Guidelines of what you should eat, how you did on all of the nutrients and other cool info. Anways, I was impressed with all that it could do and how it helped me understand what I need to do to be a healthier eater.

I love eating fruits and vegetables but it's just to often that days go by that I don't eat any or enough fruits or vegetables. So, I've been trying to eat better and have better options at our house. I decided it doesn't take a lot of work to be better- I just have to think about it and make an effort to first of all have fruits and vegetables at our house, and then once they are there- eat & cook them. They always taste so good and really make a meal complete. Just talking about vegetables gets me all excited about growing a garden- yum.
