March is National Nutrition Month and the theme for 2011 is EAT RIGHT WITH COLOR. National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the American Dietetic Association. You can see my 2010 blog post about it too. And here is their press release for this year.
What eat right with color means to me is the more colors on your plate (or in your glass) the better. Simple as that!

*Parsnips (made in to fries!)
*Cauliflower
RED
*Grapes
*Tomatoes
*Red Peppers
*Kidney Beans
ORANGE
