Gwen’s Gourmet is encouraging you to start your healthy eating habits TODAY instead of waiting until after the New Year. You are probably going to pig out for Christmas and have a glass of champagne for New Year’s Eve but make those days your indulgence days. While I am not a Nutritionist, I do know how to prepare healthy foods a Nutritionist might recommend. So if you can’t speak with a Nutritionist at this moment, the first thing I can suggest is to start simply with a green, leafy salad. Feel free to pile on 2-3 more veggies and/or fruits such as tomatoes, onions, oranges, or strawberries. I have the perfect, tasty Vinaigrette that is super easy to prepare. Let me know how much you enjoy it!Cranberry Cocktail Vinaigrette
