Some say, “we are what we eat” but, for many people food does not define them. We have passions, goals, family and friends. So, eating healthy needs to be a great addition to our life, not a hostile takeover!
FIND YOUR PALETTE
As your muse, I want to inspire you to try new vegetables, fruit, meats and grains. It is worth the risk to retaste foods that you have disliked before. When I was young, I would try avocados every once in a while, and disliked them, until one day suddenly I loved them. So, put the past behind you and try foods like brussel sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, and my favorite – artichokes. You may find that your taste buds will surprise you.
BEYOND SALT AND PEPPER
Discover new cooking techniques and experiment with spices. Find the right inexpensive kitchen appliances and gadgets that make cooking fun and easy. With a little time and effort, you can create a healthy masterpiece that will make your mouth water more than their unhealthy counterparts aka fast food and microwavable meals.
KNOW YOUR BODY
Everyone has a different body type. We each react differently to foods. Some people have allergies to lactose, nuts, etc. Sometimes allergies are hidden and like wheat (gluten). These are some reasons why cut-and-paste diet plans do not work for everyone – it is essential that you find what works best to keep you healthy. Know your body, sense how it is reacting to different foods.
My local grocery store had samples of fresh sushi with avocado I tried it and liked it and asked “What is in it?” “Eel”. EEL! Surprising? It surprised me. You too will be amazed at the adventure of cuisine that lies on the journey ahead. By the way, the eel sushi (Caterpillar Roll) was so good I had a second piece.
Creating a masterpiece takes imagination and experiencing trial and error. Do not let fear keep your creativity down.
