National Nutrition Month Resources to Help Clean Up Your Plate

March is National Nutrition Month and reminder to me as to far our family has come in the world of food and nutrition. We still have some bad habits to kick, but the last few years have brought about a transformation in our kitchen and our health. 

I'm sipping a cup of black coffee as I type this and cringing about how much sugar I would stir in just a year and a half ago. 

My contribution to you for National Nutrition Month this year is to share some of my favorite resources; books, documentaries, blogs and websites, that have helped me clean up my plate, ditch processed food and really focus on nutrition vs. food.

For those looking to stick with a traditional, real food diet, this site is a little treasure of information and leads you to a community of people who can help you along the journey.

I seriously DROOL over the recipe photos here. The blog doesn't just switch up your everyday recipes into real food friendly options. She pushes the boundaries and entices you to try things you never thought you would. Bonus, a meal plan service is available for those that need a little more help planning out a menu full of nutritious food each week.
