Spring Cleaning: 5 Steps To An Organized Office
03/31/2016
I don’t often read Real Simple magazine – finding that the message for simpler living gets lost in the advertisements for luxury goods. But, I respect that for many advertising makes the world go ’round and I’m not one to turn down a copy if someone passes one my way.
Someone did recently and I saw a list of the “30 Healthiest Foods.” In spring there seems to be renewed interest in “clean eating” so I thought I’d publish the list for you and welcome feedback from my readers who work in the nutrition and fitness industry. Would you make any changes to the list?

How many of these things are in your diet? What do you need to include / exclude? Can anyone pass along a recipe to make sardines palatable?

If you really want to live simply, just eat whatever is in front of you when you feel hungry. I have an extensive background in food consumption and believe firmly in taste bud intelligence. It has never failed to lead me to the most satisfying foods.
Interesting advice! Although it would mean trouble for me I think…but I really like “taste bud intelligence.”
Yep, i eat all except bulgur, chard, barley, edamame and sardines
the recipe for sardines is:
pinch your nose and stuff them in!
25 out of 30 is great Barb! Love your sardine recipe 🙂
I agree with almost all of it, but instead of skim milk and nonfat greek yoghurt I would say whole or 2% organic milk (or alternative) and whole milk organic greek yoghurt. Unfortunately we still have some fat phobia going on,when sugar and refined carbs are the problem! The bottom line though is for the most part, eating real, whole, unprocessed food, as we were intended to ! Thank you Gigi for your informative articles!!
Polly, GREAT feedback – thank you! We need to learn more from you and Polly’s Whole Health…
