What's in Your Refrigerator?

The main KEY strategy in eating healthy is having healthy food around.

Initially this takes some effort but it is well worth it.

It requires planning and preparation but pays off in the long run.

It's fun and frugal to eat healthy!

How do you start?

You put healthy stuff in your fridge!

Start one recipe at a time.

Take one bad thing that you eat and replace it with one good thing.
