Salad - Eating a Rainbow of Colors in My Meals

My Way of Eating a Rainbow of Colors in My Meals

I've been working on eating a rainbow of colors in my meals since 2024 began. Most of the rainbow meals look like a soup or a salad.

This goal would not be that unusual as many pedometers and wearable fitness devices track steps with the idea of getting 10,000 steps. Walking is a wonderful way to explore nature, get some moderate exercise and spend time with friends. I find that a good walk with a friend of mine makes the time fly and my heart sing. 10,000 is an "easy" number to remember. Depending on your stride length, this may be 5 miles give or take.
