WISHING YOU PEACE, HAPPINESS, AND PROSPERITY IN 2021

Welcome to 2021 Welcome to the Jan-Feb Issue 1 magazine of Eat For Life By Marsha.

A new year has arrived, and I am sure many of us would like to leave the pandemic in 2020.

Immunity is a hot topic right now and now it is the time to start fresh. I believe what we eat should help us to be healthier and happier. January, I celebrated my birthday and made my resolution and wish to stay committed to eating my way to a healthier, happier life. I hope you are feeling inspired to move into 2021 with renewed hope and excitement.

The foundation and purpose of this magazine is about implementing and sustaining a healthier, happier life with nutritional healthy eating. The recipes I have created are nutritious, gluten-free, dairy-free, made with wholesome ingredients, simple, delicious, and easy to make.
