go eat a rainbow.

i've been working on whittling my vices down for a while now. no smokeys no drinkies, obviously. using very little salt etc.


also, i've been trying to eat more fresh fruits & veggies instead of packaged stuff. i have a bad habit of resigning to quick-fixes instead of making food for myself. i'm even rather slothful in making dinner for myself.


the joy of having a place to myself is that i can eat a dinner consisting of bell peppers and kiwis if i want to.


i digress.


one way i've been trying to "trick" myself into eating more fruits and veggies (6-9 servings is really hard to achieve actually) is to "eat a rainbow" everyday. it's kind of like a game.


eat several reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues/purples a day.


it's kind of fun, to tell you the truth.


last night i made dinner for a dear friend and though we consumed far better fare that what i make for myself usually, we had 5 different fruits/veggies! one red, one orange, one yellow, and two greens. although, corn isn't really that nutritional, i'm still going to count it.

total recession sidenote: the little bits of cereal left at the bottom of the bag make a really good crunchy topping for baked chicken. y'know, if you're tryin' to be creative with your cookin' and money during this economic teacup ride. just sayin'.


alright, geek time over for now.
go eat a rainbow
adieu,
