Happy New Year, everyone!
If you’ve been following Crowded Earth Kitchen for a while, you know that we don’t make impossible to maintain New Year’s resolutions around here. Instead, we are simply pledging to eat a little leaner and a little cleaner in 2017.
Want to join us? First, throw out all of that leftover holiday junk food. Seriously… that half eaten bag of Hershey’s kisses lurking in your pantry? Those partly stale cookies still sitting on a festive tray? Throw. Them. Away.
Then, stock your kitchen with a few items that will help you on your way to eating more mindfully this year. Throughout the month of January, Crowded Earth Kitchen will feature foods and gadgets that we find useful in our healthy eating journey!
Today’s item is a digital kitchen food scale. Why is a kitchen scale #1 on our list of must have gadgets for the New Year? That’s easy. You can’t improve your meals if you don’t understand what you are eating in the first place! It’s super important to understand how many ounces of different foods you are accustomed to eating in one meal, so that you can make realistic changes that are healthy and – here’s the crux, friends – actually sustainable.

The kitchen scale linked above is only $6.99. Seriously, friends – $6.99 to start you on your journey to more mindful eating and better health. In the coming weeks, I’ll share simple recipes with the number of ounces of each ingredient spelled out for those who are keeping track. Here’s to better heating, and a healthier you (and me)!

What a great idea for this month! I am soooooo sick of food right now! I need to fast for about a week! Look forward to your January posts! Actually all year’s.
Here’s to eating sensibly in 2017! The kitchen scale is sure helping me to get my portions in line. With proper portioning, we can avoid the long lists of “no-no” foods that make many food plans fail.
Ok, I am following your lead!
I’m on board. Frig has been purged of leftover holiday junk. Pantry is cleaned (except for crackers & sweetened cereal for little boy visitors). Let’s do this!
Alrightie! Off we go! The word of the day is protein… protein for building muscle, and protein for feeling full!
