Dishing Out Healthy And Delicious Meals

People with a gift for serving up delicious-but healthful-dishes say it is important to present food that tastes good, is made with natural ingredients and is good for you. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to imply omitting numerous classic recipes. These tips may aid:

Portion Size- You can aid control weight gain by being wary of portion size. If you are serving meat, for example, nutritionists say to not give a portion that’s larger than a deck of cards. Fill the empty space on plates (and in stomachs) with vegetables and whole grains.

Something On The Side- Try serving a healthy vegetable soup and a side salad before dinner. This way, people can fill up on veggies, rather than less nutritious foods. Furthermore, if you are attempting to eat a little less, keep in mind that our bodies often mistake thirst for hunger. So before you dig into dessert, try having a big glass of water and waiting a couple of minutes. You may turn out to be less hungry than you thought.

Cooking Tips- Something as simple as switching to nonstick oil sprays can really make a difference in how healthy a meal is. For example, new Mazola Pure Cooking Spray is a healthier alternative to high-saturated-fat products like butter or margarine. It adds Pure taste and Pure aroma to food, is great for fat-free cooking-and unlike other leading sprays, it doesn’t have alcohol or silicone. It comes in canola oil, extra virgin olive oil and natural butter flavors. It’s also cholesterol free and has 0g trans fat per serving.

The spray can be used in a number of ways such as: adding light flavor when grilling sandwiches, making popcorn, holding seasonings in place on meats and vegetables, sauteing, pan searing seafood and chicken, flipping pancakes and browning foods in the microwave.
