What's For Dinner: Balsamic Vegetable Salad

Basic Recipes Simple Modifications

I have had many people ask me what I make for dinner. As a personal trainer and mother on a budget I try to think of ways I can make things for my family so they are not so fattening. We don't eat out much, maybe 2-3 times a month. We very rarely eat fast food. That means I cook A LOT! I became a label reader a while back. You will find by making simple adjustments, you can make a big difference in your diet! If you have to ask yourself when the last time you ate fruit or vegetables was, there is a problem. It is fun to see what you can make with vegetables and fruits. I have to thank my husband for being so healthy food friendly. Let me just put it out there, I do make cookies a lot! I don't just eat healthy all the time. I am a human, but moderation is key. I am not reinventing the wheel here. I am making minor adjustments to it. Happy Cooking!
