Lash Fary, single entrepreneur and celebrity gift expert just sent me a WONDERFUL product!  (Trust me, I don’t use all caps often).  If you haven’t heard of Slimware, it is a fabulous line of melamine dinnerware with built-in portion control reminders.  Place your veggies on the largest design portion (in this case the biggest flower), your side dish or carb on the middle section, and protein on the smallest.  Personally, I am working up to staying within the lines starting an inch or two outside, which is still is an adjustment.  On days when you don’t feel like “controlling yourself”, just ignore the pattern size and enjoy the design.  Thank you, Lash, for making portion control beautiful!
