It has been way too long since I have posted a new blog. Life has gotten a little busy lately, but I promise I will try to write more often. I have completed 30 miles so far in my walk a hundred miles in a hundred days at work. I will add it has been only 21 days. It would have been more but Easter weekend put me behind just a little.
So speaking of Easter, my goal was to find a few new recipes to try. The first place I looked was Pinterest. Of course! If you need a new recipe, it is a great place to find inspriation. Wow but as far as health goals go. I think of every one recipe that appeared that was real food, healthy food, that looks like it would taste great there were at least 20 that were well --definitely in need of a nutrition makeover.
I could pin recipes all day but I have to wonder if looking at all of those less healthful choices tempts me more. Don't get me wrong I always eat enough veggies, I eat whole grains, lean proteins, etc., but I am a sucker for some of the indulgent treats that constantly appear. If you can look but stay out of the kitchen or only make some of these tempting treats on occasion it may do no harm. But if you love to spend your days in the kitchen, social media might just be influencing your health in more ways than one.
I have decided that I am really going to try to "pin" more of those healthful recipes and try to ignore those that are less healthful following the 90/10 rule. That would be 90% healthy, 10% splurge. This weekend, I even tried a few including chocolate hummus! It was a great fruit dip and my kids loved it! It was definitely a winner. If you want to see what kind of recipes I am looking for, let me know and I'll be sure to post my boards on my blog!
