setting the {garden} table

The hubs and I realized we are probably NOT eating as many fruits and veggies as we should be.

We try to eat good. 
We also try to eat food with the least amount of crack chemicals in it.
That means we buy Breyers Natural ice cream instead of the delicious mint chocolate chip store brand bright green with yellow number 5 and blue lake #6 etc... (but that's another story for another day!)

Luckily we live in CA where produce is cheap if you shop at the right place.

Lots of color for about $15


So this week, I've been experimenting making yummy salads so my taste buds don't get bored.

Mix of romaine and spinach, topped w/ feta, peppers, grapes, tomatoes, and ham.
(I love adding some sort of fruit to my salad to sweeten the deal)

According to Fruits and Veggies Matter, I should be having...

2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetablesevery day based on your age ( 29 ), sex( female ), and level of physical activity( 30 to 60 minutes )

We also want to set the stage table so nugget will choose to eat healthy, balanced meals.



Nugget already loving her veggies!

Here's to keeping healthy and getting in those fruits and veggies!

What's you favorite salad topper?
