Whenever I prepare a dish I think of my health and well being. Food on my table must be tasty and appealing, and it has to provide all the nutrients that my body needs to stay healthy.
For many people October is a special month. Breast cancer awareness campaigns help people reconsider their food choices. Prevention is better than cure, so choose wisely. A large bowl of salad is always a good idea since fresh fruit and vegetable in all colors of the rainbow will provide you with enough nutrients to keep your immune system strong.
