    This post for Salmon Beet & Orange Salad is sponsored by Gorton’s but the opinions expressed here are my own.

    Salmon Beet & Orange Salad is served on a bed of spring salad mix and topped with an easy honey mustard vinaigrette to make a light and healthy meal.

    We use pre-packaged spring mix, Gorton’s Natural Catch Grilled Salmon, and canned beets to get this meal on the table in about 20 minutes!

    The new year is upon us and I, like many people, have resolved to eat better and lose a few of the unwanted pounds I have carried for a while now.

    We have realized that we need to change our eating habits for the long-term. For us dieting just isn’t doable. We have to change the way we eat or we will just lose it and then put it right back on.

    This has happened several times in the past 🙄.

    Tips to help you eat better this year:

    • Meal plan. It is very important to plan meals so you won’t want to hit the drive through on the way home from work.
    • Plan meals that are easy to make. It will be easier to stick to your plan if you don’t dread making dinner.
    • Take some help from the grocery store. Buy healthy products that are easy to make.
    • Eat several smaller meals daily instead of 3 large ones.
    • It is okay to eat that cookie or piece of cake, occasionally. I am less likely to binge eat if I eat a dessert once in a while. In fact, we eat dessert every Friday night.

    Lee and I have discovered that we feel better about ourselves when we eat healthy. We are more likely to do something that makes us feel better, so it helps us meet our goals.
