Two weeks till Halloween...


You might have already bought your Halloween candy and find yourself slipping your hand in and just grabbing one or two here or there. Don’t be too hard on yourself for indulging a little, but be mindful of how much you’re eating. Take the time to enjoy and savor it. Then, think about healthier sweet options to incorporate into your diet throughout the fall season.

Try this salad:

Baby Arugula with sliced pears, tossed with a pinch of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Add crumbled feta and drizzle with a homemade vinaigrette. Start with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a teaspoon of honey and just enough balsamic. Whisk together before adding to the salad.

This salad pairs nicely with dinner. You can add chicken or shrimp to make it a meal.  The arugula gives it a nutty flavor combined with the sweetness of the pear will help you resist your candy cravings!
