Just 1 Ingredient Improves Taste, Nutrition Of Every Meal

As we open the second week of 2017, how are you doing so far with your diet and nutrition?

This is a question always worth asking, regardless of whether you resolved to eat healthier and/or lose weight this year. Wanting to improve or extend your life is reason enough to spend a few minutes focusing on food.

And here's some great news. A few minutes is all it takes to stock up on smart, practical ideas that can enhance the way you look and feel.

Lanette Kovachi has spent her career doing this. She's been the corporate dietitian for Subway, the world's largest food chain, since 2000. So she's probably already played a role in many of your meals.

Lanette's team and mine at the American Heart Association recently launched the +color campaign. As the name implies, it's all about adding color to your meals in the form of more fruits and vegetables.

Doing so is easier than you think. It's my pleasure to turn this spot over to Lanette to show you how it's done.

As a working mom with three kids ranging from 4 to 13, I'm well aware of how difficult it can be to keep everyone well fed.

But here's a secret that I wish wasn't such a secret: Feeding my family healthy meals is not complicated.

The only ingredient is a little planning -- emphasis on "little."

Just tweak your grocery list and reframe your approach to creating each meal. That's it. I'll even walk you through the process so you'll see how easy it is, then the few small steps that can make a big difference.
