Staying Healthy

Most people eat food based on what tastes good to them. However, now more than ever, we are being made aware of the importance of having a healthy diet.

I do agree that eating healthy does involve an acquired sense of taste. But therein lies the challenge and the fun. That is, striking the balance of culinary creations that are convenient to make, economical, yet of course also healthy.

Here are some ways to get started.

1. Subscribe to some free online health based newsletters.
Some good ones to choose from are found at:
Whole Foods fl@vors
Epicurious

2. Take advantage of the free online recipes:
Whole Foods
Epicurious
Williams-Sonoma
AllRecipes.com
Cooking.com

3. Begin with healthy recipes that are easier to make.
Start out by making soups and salads. These are typically easier to make, convenient, and inexpensive.
