Stay Fresh and Colorful

We are often drawn to items that are flashy and colorful. Also, it doesn't help to have an item that is new. All these things will help draw the eye toward it. Once the eye is drawn the product, you are likely going to be buying the product. The eye is a powerful sensory organ that will take in lots of information. Sometimes that information will easily draw us in to the compulsion to purchase.

If you're like me, you will be drawn to the colors and flashiness of an item. Colors have a way of drawing us in, almost a "subliminal message" of advertising. We are drawn to the beauty of rainbows, animals, and other things of nature. Let's make our plates look similar.

In addition to smell, seeing color on your plate will help invite your taste buds in to the entree. Load your dinner plans with colorful foods. Look for reds, yellows, oranges, and greens to make your plate come alive with flavor.

This time of year is a great opportunity to see lots of color on your plate - fruits and vegetables are created with colors. Let's use them to our advantage and have some color. Keep in mind that color will draw us in and help us eat more healthy.

What colorful creation will you create today?
