Great! Great! Great reminders! I needed to be reminded to Eat the Rainbow, more fish and slow down my shoveling of the food!
I love the simplicity of these tips! I always try to fill my plate with colorful foods–nothing’s worse than a beige meal. Cooking seafood used to intimidate me, but since I started incorporating more fish into my diet, I’ve realized that it’s preparation is relatively simple. Plus, it tastes fantastic and leaves me feeling satiated and healthy!
