Dinner Rainbow

You don’t need to read the latest scientific studies to know whether or not you’re eating healthfully.  (They’ll contradict themselves next month anyway.)  Just take a look at what you’re eating and count the colors.  The closer your diet resembles a rainbow, the healthier it is.

Caveat: Skittles don’t count!

Last night’s dinner:

Farm-fresh, soft-scrambled eggs with dill
Broccoli sauteed with heaps of garlic
Mountain Violet Sticky Rice (an heirloom variety from the Philippines)
Just picked strawberries for dessert

Delicious, effortless, and perfectly balanced.

What are you eating these days?
