I had a request on Facebook for healthy salad dressing recipes - olive oil with vinegar and spices is a great beginning, but there are so many possibilities! One of my favorite "dressings" is about 1/4 cup of Trader Joe's papaya-mango...
Abundant summer fruit
I can easily overdo it on fruit, buying more than I can possibly eat in a week just because it all looks and tastes so luscious at the farmer's market. I really do have to keep track or I would just munch on it all day, ignoring all else....
I have those days, too

Struggling with portion control
Thank goodness the largest portions are vegetables!
