Happy New Year everyone!
I love the holidays but by the time January rolls around I’m always eager to start the new year with a fresh start. Healthier, more mindful diet choices are always top of the list.
My healthy eating philosophy is simple.
Fresh, homemade, moderation, tasty and mindful.
The single most important thing for me when eating healthy is that the food I make must be enjoyable. If it doesn’t taste good, it’s not on the table.
It is both challenging and fun to make healthy food that taste good and is budget friendly.
I typically start with the sales ads for inspiration. These raspberries were on sale for $1.18.
An amazing price for amazing berries. I typically use strawberries when I make a berry based vinaigrette, but I knew the raspberries would be a great substitute. I keep a bottle of raspberry vinegar on hand at all times. It has an incredibly long shelf life so it’s a good investment.
If you have never made a vinaigrette, then you will be amazed at how easy it is. Plus it’s a fraction of the cost as you will be able to make multiple batches with the ingredients.
