Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad



I love the fix! It has given us such an edge on our health. Empowered us to make good decisions and has nicely shown us where our issue where. It's not that we ate very unhealthy at all, but you can certainly over eat on healthy foods. You just don't realize it because they are "good for you foods". This is tricky business! Lol

I love all the fresh produce that is coming into our house and is being consumed daily. I am pushing myself to think outside the box of my normally very boring selection of meals and really get creative. This often means just making things simple again. It's just so funny how that goes.

Here is a goodie for you to try! Suggested from none other, then Autumn herself!
