Eat, drink, and be healthy

Everything in moderation - which means you can eat that piece of chocolate or have that small glass of wine as long as you don't overdo it.


Here are some concoctions I've discovered have enough of a twist to keep things exciting but are also easy to incorporate into a busy day:

  • easy + healthy: garbanzo beans (just boil) and little cheese squares on top of a salad
  • fast + healthy: spinach (just cook in a pan) with fish or egg or anything else
  • snack-ish + healthy: yogurt, blueberries, and granola with a few shavings of chocolate on top
  • refreshing + healthy: water with a slice of lemon or a slice of cucumber in the morning
  • universal + healthy: add spice to any dish to give it a different taste (turmeric, rosemary, dill, etc)
  • just easy: water!

Fun fact: If you're like me and stubbornly decided not to trust that tomatoes keep their flavor better outside the fridge, I recommend just trying the experiment...

  1. I’ve tried the tomatoes experiment. Those kept outside had a better flavour.

    Better yet, you may enjoy the full blast of their flavour directly from your garden. Growing your own tomatoes is perfectly possible even if you don’t own a yard; the urban farms, even the balcony farms, sprout and become popular among urbanites. The vegetables are fresher, cheaper and …you know exactly what you eat! The urban farm concept goes back to 1940s. These “victory gardens” accounted for almost half of the fresh produce in the US during times of war.
