this weeks swap was hosted by gluten free mommy and her menu looks very tempting
OK my menu this week will be focused on fresh fruits and vegetables as I try to detox from my travels. I have been reading up about antioxidants and free radicals lately so I have decide to start eating healthier. The National Cancer Institute provides some basic information on the subject. I also looked at other websites and magazines, but I warn do not believe everything you read on the Internet because it is hard to tell which sites are reputable and which are not.
I found this list at another website called The Nibble and thought I would share it with anyone interested.
