LOOK HERE!

Hey everyone! Sitting here watching the sun come up this morning makes me realize how important it is to enjoy our environment. In relation to our eating habits I think it is really important to enjoy what you are eating and the environment you are in. I could be eating cardboard and drinking coffee out of an old boot...as long as I am looking at this.

The trick that I am learning in relation to finding images that are effective on my blog is to find images that attract you. Those that follow you will probably be attracted to them as well. Just as I am more willing to choke down some oatmeal this morning when I am looking out at this, your followers are probably more willing to read a healthy recipe if the pictures look good.

My tip to you all is to find pictures that represent your post in a positive manner, and attract you. I am against photo editing, so therefore I feel that you should only use pictures that represent your blog honestly. It will attract more followers and build up a trust between you and them. There is nothing more discouraging than attempting a new recipe and quickly realizing that the photo shown was a bit of a misrepresentation! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is there such thing as healthy comfort food..?

So Thanksgiving is around the corner, and in my family we always have tons of leftovers!  By Saturday my mom usually grinds it all up into a wonderful hash that we all enjoy, however my jeans tend to hate me for days afterwards lol!  So I found this recipe at my favorite spot...paleomg.com!  The butternut squash is a great substitue for starchy potatoes!  Try it out for breakfast, lunch or dinner!  Let me know what you think! OH, and like always, go check out everything on paleomg's website or instagram. 

Welcome Everyone!
