My favourite food assistant

By on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 | 1 Comment

If there is one thing that I couldn’t live without in the kitchen it would have to be the slow cooker or crockpot as it is better know to my American readers.

When I first came across them I had the typical bloke attitude:

Why on earth would I waste my money on one of these?

Well the truth is we received our very first slow cooker as a present from a customer that purchased from us in our early door to door selling days. They had simply downgraded the size and give us their family sized slow cooker. At first we placed it in the cupboard and forgot about it until the winter months approached us.

The Most Powerful Way To Fight Bad Health Is To Make Home Cooking Fast And Easy!

By on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 | Comments Off

Obesity and related health problems are epidemic in North America. Not only are most of us eating way too much and getting little exercise, but we’re also eating very fatty foods. Even if you shun fast food restaurants and buy your food at supermarkets, it’s still almost impossible to find quick-to-fix foods that aren’t high in fat content.

Experts say we were in far better health a few decades ago when just about everyone prepared their meals from scratch. Home cooking, even when elevated to the gourmet level, is far healthier than restaurants or instant dishes from the grocery store.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

By on Friday, December 11th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Everyone’s mother has said to them at some time or another “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!”This is usually what we all would hear right before school when we were about to leave to take a big test. However, it is very true that breakfast is a very important meal and there are several reasons why this is true.

First of all, breakfast literally means “break fast”. This means that your body is breaking the several hour fast it has been in while you slept. It is important to fuel your body in the morning after it has fasted all night.

The Art To Getting Kids To Eat Healthy

By on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | Comments Off

The art to getting kids to eat healthy is challenging but once you know how, it will become second nature and meal times will be fun and enjoyable for all.

 The state of your health and body weight has been influenced by eating habits during your life, especially your childhood, this is why it is so important to start as you mean to go on.

 Raising a nation of obese and unhealthy children and then adults is not an ideal outcome, but avoiding this as many a frustrated parent knows is easier said than done. Getting your kids to eat their 5 a day fruit and veg, cutting down on fizzy drinks and chips really can make mealtimes a nightmare.

Top 5 Healthy Vegetables To Eat

By on Monday, November 30th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Whilst it is true that all vegetables are healthy I am often asked what are the top 5 healthy vegetables to eat.

Well, my top five are as follows but remember this is only my opinion.

 I would have to put spinach at the top of my list. Up until recently I absolutely hated the taste of spinach but I have recently tasted it cooked with garlic and it was absolutely delicious. None of the horrible taste that I can remember from my childhood, in fact if I had closed my eyes it would have been completely unrecognisable plus it is full of iron and many other nutrients.

What Is Healthy To Eat With Eggs?

By on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 | Comments Off

A question that keeps coming up is what is healthy to eat with eggs. There was a scare in the UK a few years ago when someone from the government stated that it was unsafe to eat eggs because of salmonella. This was proven to be a complete false alarm and it was found to be completely safe to eat eggs.

 There are lots of recipes that contain eggs and some are more healthier than others but it is not really the eggs themselves that are healthy or unhealthy but the way in which they are cooked and what is added in the cooking process.
