Mother’s Day gives us the opportunity to show our mother how much we love her for all the wonderful things she did for us over the years.

There are many ways in which you can prove to your mother that you appreciate her.

You can buy her something she likes, bring her flowers or take her somewhere where she has never been before.

Personally, I thought that the best manner to celebrate this amazing day with my mother would be by cooking something delicious and healthy for her. So, here is a very interesting recipe, which does not require much time (more…)

Most people try to come up with the perfect recipe for their breakfast.

However, what most people don’t know is that perfect may actually mean oversize.

For example, I started my day with a big bowl of cereals all covered in fat milk and a muffin or an apple to round up the picture.

At some point, after screening this morning menu, I realized that my breakfast was over 330 calories. Not such a good start, right? Well, after serious investigations and a couple of experiments this is what I learned:

• Brown rice - Not only it is full of vitamin B but is also a great (more…)

Pff… what do eat for lunch?

Doesn’t it sound familiar?

Not only that you have to think about what to eat for dinner but you have to plan lunch as well, which can be complicated sometimes!

For a long time I had to choose between the restaurant on the next street from my working place or the pâtisserie across the street.

So, after I realized that I wasn’t eating healthy and that I was spending too much money on this meal, I decided to take the next step: homemade lunchbox.

There are many foods both nutritious and healthy that can be easily put into this box. Not to mention that you can save money by taking a (more…)

There is a false myth going around.

The myth is that eating healthy and keeping a good diet is too expensive.

This conclusion couldn’t be falser.

On the contrary, there are plenty of great recipes that you can easily include in your daily diet and see wonderful results.

More than that, I found that it is simple to enjoy healthy snacks and even sweets without too many ‘damages’. Not to mention that they work very well for weight control.

I would like to share with you a recipe of oatmeal bars. It is fun, they (more…)

All of them are insanely delicious.

Besides, they are also filling, nutritious and they will help you get rid of a couple of pounds right away.

I know, this seems like joke. But it’s not. Although I could not believe that a peanut butter-based smoothie can be so healthy, nutrition specialists claim the contrary. What makes it great is the proteins it includes. Such a (more…)

It’s Valentine’s Day again and we want to spend every minute of this special day with the loved one.

This is only natural considering that people have been celebrating this day for centuries.

However, the tradition of offering Valentine’s Day cards has been around only since the 19’th century.

Most people associate this day with giving the loved one a proof of their love. And, let’s admit it, the proof of love is many times something sweet like a heart shaped piece of chocolate.

In some cases chocolate is great to give us energy, but unfortunately it has too many calories and too much sugar. Well, this year I decided to (more…)

I love eating vegetables and I usually have a serving of greens each day.

I hear all over the place that these shakes are extremely healthy, prevent many diseases and help people in their fight against extra pounds.

So, I decided it was time to find a great recipe that will help me too. Here is the recipe I think is going to satisfy my curiosity and which I think is going to taste great too:

Ingredients:

• Obviously, spinach. The quantity depends on how ‘green’ you (more…)

Even though eggs are a fantastic source of proteins, vitamins and essential nutrients, some say they contain too much cholesterol to be consumed on a daily basis.

Eating eggs each morning can be half benefic and half damaging for our diet.

As mentioned in a previous post they are great as breakfast, but how can we get rid of the extra cholesterol they introduce into our body?

Well, things are not as complicated as they seem.

Instead of eating whole eggs, choose to cook your breakfast with egg whites. Here is an example of an omelet with egg (more…)

When I look back on my routine, I am always in a hurry, trying some quick fixes for my breakfast or lunch.

Most of the times I land up eating junkies because it seems I don’t have so many healthy “quick” options, except for cereals and whole wheat bread!

Here is one quick “healthy” recipe which you can whip up in a few minutes, as long as you have soaked the grains the previous night.

This is something you can wrap in a foil and eat on your way too! (more…)
