Just some pictures of me eating over the years.
A lot of people like fast food. No wonder McDonalds serves about 47 million people a day worldwide! I probably do not have to tell you this, but fast food is definitely not healthy. This post is about the essence of fast food, my attempt to recreate a healthy version of a chicken nugget meal, and a comparison between my version and the regular meal you would get at a fast food restaurant.
When I posted a recipe on spiced sweet potato fries, a lot of people commented about how their fries always get soggy and lack crispiness. While I gave one tip in the said post, I thought it might be useful to talk about this in more detail. Why do fries get soggy and what can you do to prevent it? Below are 10 tips on how to make your fries (sweet potato or regular potato) crispier.
On Thursday I was awarded with the “creative writer” award. I gave you seven statements, six of which were lies while one of them was true. For anybody who is interested, here are the answers. ☺
Exactly a month ago Health Foodie went online. I thought this would be a good time to reflect on the blog and all the things that came with it. Also, Karin from givemebananas awarded me with the “creative writer” award. Of course, I gladly accepted. ☺
I am sure you have all experienced it before. You are super hungry, but there is just no food left! Going to the store and filling up your fridge seems like the only option to save your family. Unfortunately, there are many things that can keep you from going to the store. But of course, starving is not an option. It’s time to dig deep into the pantry and freezer!
Spring seems just around the corner, so I was inspired to experiment with some fabulous spring vegetables. Luckily, I found a beautiful bunch of asparagus in my fridge. ☺
I thought it would be a fun idea to have some posts that simply tell a story. These stories are supposed to be entertaining and are not to be taken too seriously. They are all true stories and most of them involve food.
Sweet potatoes are the perfect comfort food. They are incredibly healthy, super easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious. Even though they are in peak season in the fall, they can be enjoyed during the winter as well.
I am sure you have heard it before: X food is good or X food is bad. Maybe you even think about food in terms of “good” and “bad” yourself. In this post, I want to give good reasons for why this way of thinking is not only mentally unhealthy, but how it can actually hinder your efforts of eating better.
The inspiration for this recipe came from my mother-in-law, Laura. She has served mashed cauliflower many times instead of mashed potatoes when something lighter was needed to balance another component of the dish. I always loved hers and was so surprised by how similar the texture was to mashed potatoes when I first tried it.
