More Ways to Eat Healthy
I 'm on my quest to eat healthier in 2010. And I am so glad that so many magazines and newspapers are helping me to do that by featuring articles about healthy eating. This past Thursday my local paper the Star Tribune ran an article from the Washington Post. Healthy Eating
What I love is how these articles reaffirm what I already know like add herbs, add citrus and add spices to your cooking. All things any of us know that have been on a diet know but the what I did not know is to add some sugar to my homemade dressing so it is not so harsh. Reminding me a spoonful of sugar is only 18 calories. So it may help the medicine go down and my a tart dressing be user friendly.
One other thing I learned was that it nice to add fruit salsas to my fish and chicken dishes. My sister gave me a salsas cookbook several years ago. I am going to dig among all my cookbooks to find some. I have added more fish dishes to my weekly menu as well as more chicken. I could eat fish 4 times a week but I really do not like chicken. The chicken we eat today has very little chicken taste. I sometimes refer to chicken as cardboard with seasoning and sauce. It is kind of what I think about tofu, again it tastes like what it is cooked in.
So for those of you who are doing a family cookbook theme healthier eating you may want to search the web right now for all those recipes that are less fat and more flavor. While these recipes are all over the place collect them and then compare them to your family recipes. Remember you can change them if you state that they are updated to be healthier than the original. Healthier recipes means healthier eating and isn't what you really want.
