With all the holidays lately, I’ve been feeling like I’ve been going overboard on food, but it can be harder to eat healthier when you have a small grocery budget. So, today I’m making 4 different meals using mostly fresh veggies and keeping the meals low carb and higher in protein (as well as high in flavor 😉). Join me if you’re looking to get a bit healthier without breaking the bank.
