Introduction

I went on a diet several years ago to loose a little bit of weight.  As I continued to diet, I realized that I loved eating healthy:  I felt good and had more energy when I did.  A while later, I discovered that eating healthy helps with a health problem that I have.  I have an anxiety disorder, and any health problems in general can flair up a panic attack if I am not careful, and one of the things I can do to prevent this is to eat healthy and exercise. I decided after learning this that I would make the commitment to eat healthy all of the time.  I still struggle from time to time, but I am not taking medications for my disorder, just eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep.  And I feel great!!
The only problem?  I just graduated from college and am a poor college grad on a limited budget.  Eating healthy can be pricey, and I didn't have the money to spend on expensive healthy food products.
That's where this blog comes in.  Over time, I discovered ways to eat healthier on a limited budget.  My goal with this blog is to provide a fun resource for healthy recipes that you can make on a limited budget.  I also want to provide my knowledge of where I've found great products at lower costs around southeastern Idaho and tips for making your own delicious treats.
Anyone coming up with great ideas, go ahead and get in contact with me!  I love learning about how to eat healthier. :)
Quick disclaimer: by no means am I a dietician.  This is not a complete nutritition guide.  It's tough to eat healthy, and you should study and consult your doctor if you are worried you are not getting enough nutrients in your diet while eating healthy.
Have fun, and enjoy guys!!! :)
