I have been wanting to make similar changes all my life but I have never been able to commit all this while. Since reading this however, I have made two tiny changes that I hope will better my health - I have decided to sleep earlier (and without my electronic devices to accompany me in bed) and to exercise Harinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814067819385652254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-49409689908194319802015-03-02T09:45:12.680-06:002015-03-02T09:45:12.680-06:00Oh I love a good salad, nothing better than the pe...Oh I love a good salad, nothing better than the perfect mix of different flavors and textures.This dressing looks delicious and I happen to have all the ingredients at home.

I can eat them outside- that automatically means I eat them rarely since we eat 90% of our meals at home.

For myself, I have to say that I much prefer the taste of roasted veggies compared to steamed ones. I do roast a big pan of veggies to eat over 2-3 days. Good luck!!
