Hey, everyone!

One of the primary goals of this blog is to offer up ideas for saving you a little money while simultaneously pursuing the quest for improving health. “Organic, seasonal, local/fresh”...these words are often associated with high quality ingredients that carry exorbitant prices. Exorbitant? Nope, as Fiscally Fit Foodies, we don’t roll like that.

If I told you that it was possible to obtain organic, seasonal, and local/fresh produce at a price similar to that which you pay for non-organic produce at the grocery store, that would be pretty awesome, right? Well, you’re in luck!

Hey, everyone!

When I’m thinking of something tasty and healthy and easy, guacamole is often one of the first things that comes to mind. My version is lower in sodium than just about any you'll find in a store (and no preservatives) and, due to the secret ingredient (orange juice), it's packed with flavor! It's great with carrot sticks, multigrain chips, and tacos. There are many times when I’ll cook up a lean protein like chicken breast or shrimp and just eat it with those. It’s also great in wraps, on sandwiches (sammiches), and as a condiment twist for burgers.

Guacamole is fully customizable to you personal preferences. Don’t like cilantro because you think it tastes like soap? Have a date with someone special and are worried excessive amounts of garlic/onion will mess with your mojo? You like your lips to tingle from extreme spice? Don’t particularly like avocados but you know they’re healthy and you want to incorporate them into your diet? No problem!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to what is hopefully the first of many blog posts on this site!

It seemed only fitting that the first post should be dedicated to introducing myself and to giving you a general idea of what you should expect from the Fiscally Fit Foodie blog. Other posts will contain more visually appealing content (LOTS of pictures and videos), but that is downplayed in this first post that outlines the essence of what I'm trying to achieve with this website. Without further ado, I present to you the Fiscally Fit Foodie blog!
