Good Eats... How well are you Eating?

Hello Ladies and Gents :)

Glad to be here, sharing yet another blog with you guys.
There has been a few changes in my life, since the last time i posted something.. so here it all goes :)

First off , I thank all who took part in the Recipe Poll- the Summer Rolls took 1st Place!!!


 I will be posting it up shortly. I love how this recipe serves as an introduction to a new leaf in turning in  my life as well as my Culinary Career.

A couple posts back i shared with you that i had started changing my diet. I'm not on a diet -per say... but i have cut down on some things like Beef, Pork, soda/pop, drinks or foods with high sugar to name a few.

My reason for this was to begin healthier cooking habits thus resulting in better recipes for people to enjoy Good food that is GOOD FOR YOU. I want to help change peoples perspective/negative connotation when referring to "healthy food"- it's not bland or boring! .. trust me ;)

Cooking with fresh ingredients is very important. The fresher the product the better the outcome.

Let me explain some of the things that some people aren't too clear on when it comes to fresh food...

Organic:
Produce that is grown without fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides Organic meat of dairy livestock receive no antibiotics or added hormones and are raised on organic feed. Organic products never use genetic engineering or irradiation

All Natural:
Foods that are minimally processed and contain no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners

Earth-Friendly:
Produced in such a way to minimize any negative impact on the environment.

Vegetarian:
Foods derived from plant sources, such as fruits,grains,legumes and nuts. These can contain egg and dairy products

Vegan:
Solely from plant origin; absolutely no animal ingredients or byproducts such as eggs, dairy products, or honey

Raw Foodism:
is a lifestyle promoting the consumption of uncooked, unprocessed, often organic as a large percentage of the diet
