Nikki Dinki Cooking - Home - Cauliflower Soup

That’s how much it costs for a can of average quality soup at my grocery store. FIVE DOLLARS, PEOPLE!! And what’s in that can?? Not a whole lot... Making soup is just like making any of your favorite dishes…pureeing it up…and thinning it out with a little chicken stock...well kind of... The bottom line is that making your own soup saves you a ton of money, plus you can get some great nutrition in a filling, flavorful and many times low-cal little package. Have I sold you yet??? When I was young I used to be ADDICTED to ramen noodle soup. They were however guaranteed to make a mess as you slurp them up way too fast and inevitably burn your mouth. I did it EVERY TIME! But as you probably know, ramen noodle soup has almost no nutrition and is full of sodium and a whole lot of other stuff I can’t pronounce. Just looking out for you ;) I love serving soup at dinner parties. So break out the blender!! 3Tbs Butter. Creamy Potato Kale Soup.

Spread walnut pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven, shaking pan frequently, until walnuts just start to turn golden brown and smell slightly fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, set aside in a bowl, and let stand until cool to the touch. Repeat process with sesame seeds, toasting about 10 minutes and watching carefully so seeds do not burn.

We know you get it, logically at least. The first step to eating healthier is cooking your meals yourself. But it's so much easier to stop for fast food on the way home, isn't it? Before you're tempted to pull off the highway during your evening commute, you should know that even fast food joints that claim to have lots of healthy options or sensible foods are still packed with fat, salt, carbs, and possibly even processed ingredients to help them stay fresh in the back kitchen.

After a long day of work, school or even running around town doing errands, we understand that it's hard to whip out a cookbook and all the dishes to make yourself a good meal when you get home. There are some shortcuts, though, which will make it easier for you to eat better. Do your grocery shopping during the weekend and plan out your meals for the entire week. Budget Bytes. Hypoglycemic Health Association of Australia - The Hypoglycemic Diet. By Jurriaan Plesman BA(Psych), Post Grad Dip Clin Nutr What is known as the hypoglycemic diet should really be called the “Natural Diet”.

Hypoglycemic Health Association of Australia - The Hypoglycemic Diet

This is the diet that humans have consumed over the millions of years to which our digestive system has adapted. It is supposed to give you all the amino acids, vitamins and minerals, enzymes and co-enzymes to allow your body to produce the myriad of feel good neurotransmitters to make you feel happy and content.

The “Natural Diet” is natural to the individual only and may be different from one person to another. When you diagnosed “diabetic”, it may be called a “diabetic diet”. Furthermore, this natural diet has to take into account quirks of inborn genetic disorders such as gluten intolerance as in coeliac disease, Crohn’s Disease, or Ulcerative Colitis.. The best plan is to ask yourself what diet your ancestors ate and you don’t even have to go back to very ancient times; think of your grand-parents.
