And happy New Year! It’s my first newsletter in 2012… I’d like to wish you health!

Did you make your new year resolution? I did. It includes finding time for more exercise, posting healthy recipes, and publishing my weekly meal plans that were in the making for a while:

• Kale-based for energy,

• Super DASH to lower blood pressure and

• Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle plan for those who exercise to lose fat.
