NUTRITION IN HEALTH

              Salads are great accompaniment to any meal as a side dish or as a snack. They can serve as main meals when added with proteins giving room to cut down on calories while having a flavorful meal. Recipes to other salads I have created can be found in the search section of this blog by typing in * Salad *. Please check them out !                I created this salad with 3 ingredients that were leftovers in my refrigerator. It is delicious and the taste is out of this world. I also discovered that the taste of every salad is enhanced when consumed at-least 1 hour after preparation to seal up all the juiciness of the ingredients together.              additionally, cabbage is one of the cheapest vegetables worldwide, which is enough motivation to have them in our meals often! Ingredients 1 cup shredded cabbage 1 small apple (diced) 1 tsp roasted sesame s...

Hello friends,           I recently made a slight change to my diet by reducing the amount of carbs I eat for dinner (Reasons I will be explaining in a book soon!!). I started trying new low-carb recipes and boy o boy did  bok-choy/ lettuce sharwama win a gold medal. This sharwama taste as delicious as regular sharwama and they richer in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and lower in calories ideal for weight management/ weight loss. For the dressing I used, reduced fat Mayo by Hellman which supplies ONLY 25-calories per tablespoon. You can use olive oil/ canola as a substitute for the mayo. Did I forget to add that you can get this meal fixed under 30-minutes? I used bok-choy for this recipe, however, if you use lettuce, you will get the-same perfect taste as with bok-choy. Ingredients 3 Bok-choy OR lettuce boats (washed & strained) 1 whole tomatoes (diced) 1/4 avocado (diced) Scrabbled eggs (Using 3 egg whites, onion...

               This simple recipe has 3 ingredients only.
