*** UPDATE ***
Since I wrote this post, I found the original blog has changed to Wholefully.
The blog has expanded a great deal since I found it, and has even more great recipes and tips.
The posts I reference are still there, and I have updated the links to the recipes and her site so you can enjoy them!

I just found an amazing blog, and I wanted to share it!
This blog is called “Back To Her Roots” – and it’s all about being a country girl at heart, gardening, eating healthy, etc. I stumbled across this blog, written by Cassie from Southern Indiana, this morning – on Pinterest!
I was looking for some good ideas to help me in my constant struggle to eat healthy and find easy recipes/time saving tips/etc. Isn’t that what we ALL go to Pinterest for – INSPIRATION! And needed some inspiration today.
I found two great Pins/Posts from Back To Her Roots to share with you
I first found one of her Pins about prepping healthy meals for the week. Genius! Here’s the link: How I Prep Food For the Week. The pictures in this are mouth-watering – makes you want to prep a weeks worth of food just so your fridge can look that organized and pretty!
In that post, I saw that she preps lunchtime salads in a mason jar. I have seen this before, but had never tried it. So again, back to Pinterest I go, and search for “salads in a jar.” Up pops a plethora of yummy looking photos of healthy salads, all packed in glass jars.
I choose one to click on and … what’s this … I am back at Back To Her Roots! And at this point I immediately start following this genius on Pinterest, Twitter, etc.
Here’s the link for the salads in a jar, BTW: Salad in a Jar 101 They look yummy, and I can’t wait to get started!
I am hoping that as I go along, I will have more of my own recipes, tips and hints that I can post as well. For now, I will learn from others – take their ideas and use them, adapt them, and make them my own.
