Color Me Beautiful Foods

I went to a consultant a number of years ago to learn which colors looked best on me and why.  If you have not done this, watch the YouTube presentation.  I can now go into a clothing store and quickly gravitate to my colors.  Color me beautiful also helps you clean out your closet and give away those clothes you never wear- probably because it is not your color.  So I listened this morning to a few minutes of Color Me Beautiful on YouTube and heard these words: "... makes you look great and feel wonderful...comes from nature...season's colors...the secret to the natural, beautiful you...helps you find a more beautiful you."  So at our church,  we have lunch afterwards.   Those who can stay bring food and we all share.  Yesterday "color me beautiful" foods were in abundance.  Our lunch was visibly beautiful to look at and delicious to the taste.  We had a large salad with Hanover tomatoes, red peppers, Napa cabbage, celery, cucumbers, cauliflower.  We had a vegetable salad of green beans, bakes sweet potatos, and white shoe peg corn with a 3-2-1 dressing (3 parts balsamic vinegar, 2 parts mustard and 1 part maple syrup).  We had a big tray of cut up watermelon.  Then bowls of cantelope, strawberries and blueberries.  A slow-cooker dish of green beans, potatos, and sausage and a platter of chicken.  For desert, a home-made diabetic chocolate pie and a non-diabetic butter pecan cake.  These seasonal fruits and vegetables make you look and feel great.  Eating this way (filling 3/4ths of your plate with color me beautiful foods) is the secret to a natural and more beautiful you.  Go to your local produce stand today and enjoy these last days of summer!
