There Really Are No Excuses..To Eat Healthy!

Not too long ago I would have said let's just get a pizza tonite because I didn't know what to cook. 

That is the old me...the new me has a plan and isn't willing to take backwards steps. This afternoon I didn't know what I wanted to cook. That was easily solved by a quick scan of my bookmarked websites and Pinterest. There really are no excuses for making great food. 

"Back in the day" recipes required a cookbook, recipe box or slips of papers tucked away in the drawer. Now it is easy. Yesterday I had a head of cabbage I wanted to use, so I searched "healthy cabbage recipes" and came up with a great apple and cabbage salad at http://allrecipes.com/

Apple and Cabbage Slaw
