Everyone needs to eat, its energy and power to maintain us keep healthy. There are two ways getting a food, it could be from restaurant or cook it yourself. Especially for cooking by your own from recipes, ingredient inside require you to shop in a market or groceries.
Shopping in the groceries or super market could be tricky, the tip is only stay to the list you had write. For children food, you could told them to choose their own food, but always gave them selected healthy option. For example give them option between muesli, cereal or brown bread with butter and jam, their type of fruit and cocoa or milk. So, in the morning before school their breakfast was ready with what they themselves had chosen the night before. It worked beautifully, no complaints, no last minute rush, when they were dressed they came to the breakfast table and could eat their meal in peace.
Have some meat free meals once or twice a week. My family enjoyed freshly cooked thick milk rice with cinnamon and sugar and bowl of steamed or fresh fruit. Another favourite was pancakes made from grated raw potatoes serviced a bowl of apple sauce.
Fish is delicious just steamed for a few minutes and served with boiled rice or potatoes and a mixed salad. If you want to crumb it and shallow-fry buy a packet of Panko crumbs from your Asian food store, they are crunchy and give your fish a very hearty taste. Dry the filets, dip them in some beaten egg with some salt and pepper and then in the Panko crumbs, then immediately into the hot frypan with a little oil or ghee for about two or three minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the fish filets.
Try to avoid pre-prepared meals or packages, they all contain chemical ingredients that your bodies can do without because in the long-term they are harmful.
With a large family, explore the many ways you can use mince in various dishes other than just burgers: spaghetti bolognaise, meatloaf, stuffed cabbage rolls, shepherd’s pie, lasagna to mention just a few.
Buy fresh vegetables rather than tins, they are much healthier and tastier. If you have a juicer, make some fresh fruit/vegetable juice every morning. Drink the juice or a bowl of fresh fruit at least half an hour before you eat any other food. This way the fruit will cleanse your digestive tracts before it has to deal with other intake.
Switch from ‘dead’ white bread to wholegrain brown bread, it costs a little more but it is much more filling, more tasty and gives your body the needed fiber. Also you need to eat less of it.
