My mother told me if you keep fruit out where you can see it, you'll be more likely to eat it.

"Eat your fruits and vegetables" is one of the tried and true recommendations for a healthy diet. In an effort to get back ON THE WAGON, I'm taking the advice of my mother.

It's time to throw out the decorative wooden fruit.

I'm also pretty sure that if I see it, I will eat it...as that usually happens with bowls of anything that I happen to be standing in front of...Tostidos, Lucky Charms, Popcorn and whether permitting...Cool Whip.

I'm having my own mid-summer kitchen make-over.
