Happy Fit Friday on this gorgeous fall day. I just got back in from a beautiful run out on quiet leaf filled streets with my dog. Now it is time to enjoy the rest of this beautiful Fit Friday day!
Apple Cucumber Tossed Salad is a healthy addition to any meal and perfect for fall!
Apple Cucumber Tossed Salad is a simple yet delicious side that can be ready in minutes! If it were me, I'd first make it to compliment the main dish at dinner and then eat the leftovers the next day for lunch! I would add chicken or salmon and just enjoy the rich flavor while eating a healthy meal that is good for you! Let the meal love you back!
Apple Cucumber Tossed Salad goes great with our Red Wine Dijon Vinaigrette or our Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette dressing! We hope you enjoy this salad and our dressings as much as we do!
Fall is here and the leaves are gorgeous! I live in Utah, beautiful mountains just a few minutes away, it is a bit of heaven. Although I will admit, fall in Ohio and back is east is pretty gorgeous too. I went to college in Ohio, I hated the winters and summers there but fall was breathtaking with all of the trees. With all of that said today we are talking about trail running.
Trail running gives us a chance to change up your scenery and enjoy a little more of this world. It also gives you some other benefits:
1) The softer surface is good for you body. Less impact on your knees and joints is nothing but good!
2) It is great for your core. More stability means you are using more muscles.
3) All over balance...and I don't mean physical balance. I am all about a well balanced life, that means body, mind, and spirit. Nature and being outside connects our spirit to something greater than ourselves. The trails will bring you much needed balance in life!
So, get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather!
