Tips for Healthy Eating

I have to admit, I can be a slacker when it comes to healthy eating. It is not that it is hard to make healthy choices, but with my schedule, sometimes it is so much easier to go for the quicker easier choices. Open a box of this or a bag of that and poof dinner is done. It is so easy get caught up in what is quick instead of what is better for your health.

I have been working on making better choices and educating my hubby on the days that he cooks for me. Carbs and I do not mix well, but I love them! So my options have been to make some type of meat and pair it with veggies and a salad and ditch the carbs when possible. But with salads you are still looking at lots of fat in the dressings and such. Who knew eating healthy takes so much energy?

What tips do you have to keep your family on the clean, healthy eating food train? Simple tricks that we can all use and incorporate – especially the teen son! He is a bad carb addict too, but has been ditching the soda, so I am proud of that.
