Chopped Vegetable Salad with Spicy Chipotle Vinaigrette
Serves 6
Happy New Year to you! I hope you are off to great start. Each year I start out the year with a group of long-time friends getting together to write our goals for the year. At the end of the year I mail those goals back to each person and we each review them and it amazing how many of those goals are met (and how many are not met - like getting fit and healthy for me.) Once again that is on my list of goals, especially to eat cleaner, greener and exercise more. (This year is different - because it is my number one goal.) I say this to you because over the years I have continued to gain weight, and I have reached a point where I am not happy when I look in the mirror. It gets old not feeling great about your physical body. Don't get me wrong so many other things have gone well for this year, I am blessed in so many ways. As my readers and followers I want to share this with you, so that if you too need some extra inspiration . . . I hope I can be of help in some small way. So this is to a healthy and happy New Year! Cheers, Cecelia
