So many times people tell me they can’t stop their favorite foods, so they don’t even think about committing to a newish lifestyle. I get it.

The information below guides me to make better informed decisions for my family, while also participating in this spring-through-summer ritual.

Eating Clean: How to Grocery Shop

I love to shop anywhere: small boutiques, big malls, online specialty sites and grocery stores. Over the past few years, with a focus on healthy living, I’ve found that I approach shopping differently. I plan (a little) more, occasionally pay (a little) more and focus (a little) more.
