It's summer, which means hot weather and no desire to cook! But it also means delicious, farm fresh veggies! This salad is the BEST of both, it comes together fast and is so tasty you may make it a few times this week.

Mediterranean Salad

Squeeze of Lemon Juice

Olive Oil

1/2 cup sliced cucumber

1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes, or medium tomato sliced

1/4 bell pepper thin sliced (red, orange or yellow)

1 tsp fresh oregano chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta

sliced red onion (optional)

Slice up all your veggies, add to a bowl. Squeeze part of a half of lemon to taste, a quick squirt or pour of olive oil (1 tsp or so), oregano, salt/pepper to taste. Mix, determine if it needs more lemon juice. Top with feta. Serves 1.

Today you get to bring out your inner toddler and ask yourself WHY? a million times! Sounds fun right?! Here's the thing, if you observe why you are making choices, it's a lot easier to change the habit and make a different choice than if you aren't noticing when you are making these choices. Maybe you noticed I used the word "observe", that's because I want to you think of yourself as a bystander, no judgement on whether your actions are good or bad, just simply observing what you are doing. It's important to see the action, note why you're doing it, and then make a choice of whether to continue or change it.  More details in the video!

So....pull up your big girl pants, and let's ask the question!
