This week I went to a new restaurant that had very innovative dishes. I had a Greek salad which had red bell pepper and green olives instead of tomatoes and black olives, and no red onion. It was topped with chicken which was all dark meat. I also had a new drink which included Jalapeno, Grenadine, Lime, and Honey as some of the flavors. The restaurant is called The Hive, located in the 21C hotel in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas.

It’s important to innovate because it is too easy to get bored with our diets and fall back into eating delicious fast food and other things that are usually bad for us. My kind of wild fruit smoothie with sour fruits is a bit innovative. See the recipe in the blog post for Episode 82:

So try to think of tasty healthy things. Try to think of a way that, if you want to eat something that’s not healthy, is there a way you can get that flavor in without using too much of it. Put the names of a bunch of healthy foods in a jar and pull out three at random.
