Get your credit cards and digestive tract a rest this January.
Hi everyone,
By now it's definitely 2007 for all, no matter on which corner of the world you reside! In Ontario, Canada, the weather is absolutely gorgeous for January and we've yet to have any significant snow. I've been taking advantage of the mild temperatures to enjoy the outdoors a little bit more, and get in some Vitamin D the natural way - with a little help from the sun!
I'm guessing I'm not alone in resolving to be a little bit healthier this year. With this in mind, I've posted a new article called Tighten the Belt, describing ways you can decrease your spending and your food intake at the same time. Luckily, vegetarian cuisine is quite conducive to this purpose!
Over the next few weeks I'll be posting more recipes to help you keep on track towards healthy eating. For now, try Classic Hummous with toasted pita chips (no oil!) and fresh veggies as a hearty snack or light meal.
Remember - balanced eating is key - choose foods from the four food groups and once those holiday cookies are gone, don't make more! Stay active and keep a positive attitude. Major changes don't happen overnight, but over time good habits can become part of your routine.
Happy 2007!
Jill
