Healthy Dinner

Most fast food shops are convenient and tasty but they do not provide a proper dinner. Overloaded with salt, sugar, additives and preservatives, these dinners aren't going to rate very high on the healthy scale. 

But for many of us, healthy means yukky and boring. That's absolutely a myth.

Cooking is becoming a lost art in United States, a truly sad commentary on our society. You'd be surprised to learn that even as a non-cook,  just choosing ingredients you like the taste of, and combine them in your own style of savoir faire. This way, you should be able produce a healthy dinner you actually like.

For those of you who like the one-dish dinner, you're in luck. Most recipes that claim to be a one-dish meal usually automatically include all the components necessary to be declared healthy. 

The rule of thumb in this cooking without recipes approach is simply to include foods from the major food groups.

Fried rice is a good example. You've got your grains, protein and vegetables all in one spoonful. A glass of milk or fruit and yogurt for dessert satisfies the definition of a healthy dinner. Much better than greasy burger and  fries!

The old standby of soup and salad is another healthy dinner choice. Again, the pyramid of food groups is covered, providing all the nutrition, but most importantly to your taste buds, a yummy dinner.

So, from this point of view, do you still see a healthy dinner as tasteless and inconvenient?
No way! A little effort and you will enjoy the creativity that will arise from you when cooking.
 
Furthermore than tasty, you will realize with time that your regular balanced diners will bring benefit to your health.
