Taco Salad in a Jar
This is my grand finale of my recent FB live series on salads in a jar. Who doesn't love taco salad! What is so awesome about salads in a jar is that they can be made 3-5 days before and ready for you to grab & go or serve as a quick dinner with minimum clean up. TWH's mission👍
TWH's goal is to provide you with easy basic recipes that you can dress up as you like and create your own 'masterpiece'❤️

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
