Weighing Out

The work day is grinding down to a close and many of us are thinking in the back of head, "What am I gonna whip up for the family tonight?".  Never fear, the food blogger is here - Wait that doesn't rhyme?

I hit the streets this past Sunday and snapped up some good and healthy items for my home. Items such as: Kale, Broccoli and the ever popular snap peas are always your friend and might I add, there are oh so many ways to prepare them. Any doctor will tell you that all green vegetables are good for you and promotes healthy habits.

I checked my receipt and I spent under $10 on all these items. Next time you hit the market, be sure and fill up on the green.
