TIPS FOR HEALTHY SHOPPING

Shopping tips for healthy food

Have you noticed the growing amount of nutrition information in your grocery store these days? Here are a few things you can do to make your next trip a little easier.

-Create a meal plan for the week around the food groups: vegetables and fruit, whole-grain products, alternatives and lean meat and alternatives such as fish, beans, nuts and soya.

-Make a shopping list with the foods you’ll need for the week’s meal plan. This will help you avoid impulse decisions and high fat, high salt temptations.

-Spend the maximum amount of time shopping in the outer aisles of the grocery store where you'll find the vegetables, fruit, bread, meat and milk.

-Read the Nutrition Facts table on most food packages.

-Choose products lower in salt, saturated and trans fat. Look for products that have 2 grams of fibre or more.

Baked Eggplant With Tuna Mix

#eggplant
Slice the eggplant, mix your choice of stuffing. I used tuna, but chicken, lean beef. Even tofu can be used. I chopped some sweet peppers, onion, garlic, seasoning salt and a touch of olive oil, dug out the eggplant, drizzled a little oil on it, stuffed it and baked it to desired likeness.
For my son I add meat, for me it's just a mish mash of veggies for stuffing.

STEAMED VEGGIES/ OLIVE OIL

Simple and tasty.
1. Frozen veggies (I prefer fresh, but this is just a fast fix)
2. Steam to desired tenderness
3. Drizzle olive oil.
I used a new kind of oil imported from Italy, a picture is included. I found it over priced for the taste quality. Next time, instead of this brand, I'll purchase a less expensive brand from Canada.

TODAY'S WEIGHT LOSS TIP::: BALANCE

No amount of exercise can make up for a poor or high-calorie diet. You've got to have both (calorie reduction through diet and exercise) for optimal weight-loss results.

Bought these on sale. Dried the petals for salad.

I love veggies and I cherish the awesomeness of nutrients packed in these flower petals. Simply buy a bunch, when they begin to get limp simply take them out of the water. Hang them upside down to dry or lie them flat on paper towel or a wooden cutting board.
When the petals are dried put them in a container and add to your fab recipes and salads
