So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

A Handy Guide On How To Cook Tasty Dishes In A Healthier Way

By Shirley Mitchell


Most food lovers often struggle with enjoying really decadent tasting food and trying to eat stuff that is low in calories so they could apply a healthier way of eating. Thankfully, such a dilemma can be easily resolved thanks to several methods that allow people to prepare food in a healthy manner. Embark on this exciting culinary journey by focusing on the guidelines listed below.

Recipes that call for the addition of heavy cream or milk can easily be substituted to still give that luscious creaminess to the dish. Whether you want your lobster tails shipped over or trying to create authentic carbonara, try to use some low or nonfat milk mixed with a few teaspoons of whole wheat flour. This mixture works just as well, but with less calories than using fatty cream.

Searing proteins like meat or fish means using oil, but knowing what kind to use can make all the difference. That being said, you will definitely benefit from using either canola or extra virgin olive oil for meals that call for seared meats or stir fried components. Utilize only a small amount to lessen the fat content but still imparting that rich and savory flavor to your recipe.

Everyone loves to eat foods that are deep fried, but the downside of this is that they are often prepared using vast amounts of oil. However, you may still achieve the taste and feel of deep fried food without having to use a deep fryer at all. You may place your prepared ingredients intended for frying inside a preheated oven and they will come out just like what you would expect.

There are suitable alternatives to bring flavor to your dishes without resorting to smothering everything in salt. Excess sodium intake can be really debilitating to your health, particularly your kidneys. To ensure that your food ends up flavorful without the added salt, try some options like various herbs and spices, or even marinating ingredients in citrus juices like lemon or lime.

Cooking with eggs can enhance your dishes because it is a good source of protein, but there is a way to incorporate this ingredient without adding on the excess calories. Use only the white portion of an egg as this contains less calories and virtually no fat compared to the yellow part. For best results, always use two parts of egg whites for every recipe that calls for using one whole egg.

Go beyond the usual tricks of frying, boiling, or microwaving when there are plenty of ways where you can prepare dishes in a healthy way. For instance, most varieties of fish can be steamed to flaky perfection while chicken can benefit from poaching it in some vegetable stock. Never settle for just one preparation method and never be afraid to experiment with the cooking process.

Perhaps the easiest way to guarantee that what you are serving is truly healthy is by incorporating plenty of vegetables into your daily meals. Nutritious and packed with lots of vitamins and minerals, you can never go wrong with adding fresh and organic produce on your menus. And for desserts, indulge in generous servings of fruits for a sweet but natural way to ease your sugar cravings.

Reaching a compromise as far as enjoying mouthwatering meals that are also healthy in content is a possibility that you could easily achieve. As long as you adhere to the points mentioned in this guide, you are good to go. Above all, be confident and explore further options for your kitchen experiments.
