At the start of a new year I always like to focus on good health and eating right. I honestly can't say that I'm doing that too much yet. There is still a load of 'junk' (by which I mean delicious chocolate) laying around here that I can't seem to stop eating! And I am in the terrible habit of snacking after dinner on cheese and crackers (there's no chips in the house, we've eaten them all and I refuse to buy more!). I am trying to eat right and have been buying fruit like crazy. One main reason is that Kristen is eating it now too. She would rarely eat fruit, watermelon during the summer and that was about it, hardly ever an apple, sometimes a strawberry here and there, but this past week she's been eating the berries I've bought, and the cherries. Since last weekend I've been to the store 3 times to stock up on more fruit. This was my latest purchase yesterday. . . .
Blueberries were a great price this week, only $1.98 per tub, the raspberries were nearly $5 for the same size! No raspberries for us this week ;-) Those oranges you see are delicious, I forgot the name of them, honey somethings? Only $4.98 for the whole tray! And they are so juicy and sweet, I eat like 3 or 4 a day!
I was trying to play with the 'Bokeh' on my camera, getting the front of the oranges in focus with the back of the picture blurred!
I know I've mentioned this magazine before. . .
There are some yummy recipes in this month. Cheryl made a yummy chicken soup with sweet potatoes this week, she gave me some to try.
It was really very tasty, also had kale and mushrooms in it.
I'm thinking of making this for dinner tonight, but using chicken instead. Kristen likes couscous and broccoli so I may just put everything on her plate separately but I'll do mine like this with the oranges. And I will try and NOT snack on the cheese after dinner. Perhaps a greek yogurt and fruit will be my dessert :-)
Are you eating healthy? Or are you still nibbling on the Christmas Candy like me? !!

A little of both. I have been trying to eat better, but I have my definite "bad" moments! Oh well, we have to keep on trying!
Good for you, Denise! I've still been nibbling on the Christmas candy and lots of other treats--I really need to follow your good example! :)
I doing a little of both! Carla
I'm trying, got so many chocs and biscuits this year sis that I gave most of them to the church luncheon club for the elderly. It's one sure way to stop nibbling after meals - I have to remember not to go to the choc aisle at the supermarket though. Love ya xx
I have been trying to make better choices as well. I love fruit and try to keep it in the house. But, it's only my Hubby and I and sometimes it goes bad before we eat it:( I'm about to make some banana bread with some pretty ripe fruit. We just have to keep on making better food choices and move a little more.
i feel the same way! we are trying to eat more fruit and less junk! of course it costs a lot more to eat good! hope all is well. thank you for coming by! xo susan
I was JUST thinking about the leftover chocolate in my house and the temptation it brings too - funny huh?! I look forward to it being gone too but not so much that I'd throw it (or give it) away - ha ha
I have some cherries in my fridge right now... think I'll snack on a few while I continue to blog hop!
Miss you xoxo
Eating right after a vacation out of state that threw my taste buds into a spin. I'm a fruit nut and I crave, yes crave, an apple every single day. We pick blueberries in the summer at a U-pick organic berry patch. Only $1.49 a pound and we pick buckets and buckets over a few weeks and load the freezer. Love the color in your photos.
I will never stop eating chocolate. I have a half hearted attempt, but it never lasts!
good for you for trying though.
hope you feel better soon by the way.
right, I think you are talking about the tabs underneath my header graphic when you asked about the linky things.
To get them, you go to your dashboard and click on 'edit pages' instead of 'edit posts'. this creates new pages so you can have it for an 'about me' page for example. Then, you can add a 'pages' widget, via the dashboard, and that gives you the choice of having your pages linked by a list or by tabs.
think I've explained that correctly. It's been a while since I set it up, but it is really easy to do. Just need a few 'pages' first.
enjoy your weekend x
forgot to say, to get the pages widget, it's on 'design elements' rather than dashboard, so where you go to add text or pictures to your blog
:O)

Ooh, I want some of that fruit!!! YUMMY~
