Raw Food, Fashionable and Functional

This will be a quick little post on my newest find.

I found this little serving tray at Target and had to share my love. First, I find it to be something that makes our kitchen table appear a bit more sophisticated among the sippy cups, booster seats, and high chairs. Second, what an amazing way to incentivize me to have readily available raw food sitting at our dinner table. (Fashion and Function, oh how I love when those go together)

I don’t know if this happens in your house, but I often go to the grocery store with grand ideas of filling my cart with raw fruits and veggies so that we have the opportunity to consume all of those beneficial nutrients. I fill my cart, unload them into my refrigerator, they sit in my refrigerator, and I end up finding a way to use them in a stir fry or stew.

My idea to combat this problem- always have this tray sitting on our table so that I have to fill it up every day/night with raw food. Let the mission begin… (I am now hearing Little Einstein’s music playing in my head)

Today’s raw foods: Raw Almonds, Edamame, Carrots, and Strawberries.

I may need to write a follow up post a month from now to let you know if this was a success or failure.
