| Take A Break From Harassment And Intimidation |
After a car accident, energy
levels may decrease. However, nutritional value is important. So lets
look at ideas to keep eating fun, easy, and enjoyble. You don't have to
do a lot of work. Mother nature has done most of it already.
Considering millions of
Americans not counting the number that globally go hungry daily, it’s nice to
have options on what to eat. The old saying, you are what you eat, could
make some a bit nervous. However, today’s talk of good food,
simple, easy recipes that make meals a pleasure… and not a chore. Even
holiday entertaining can be done with less stress and less work when
expected or unexpected visitors arrive, or to keep readily available foods
prepared for eating with little or no efforts.
Many times when injured or
sick, it’s easier to eat at a restaurant or grab something to go rather
than create a home cook meal. Sometimes the will or energy is not there.
Have you ever consider simple living and cooking provide greater satisfaction than extensive
creations that are time consuming? Let’s make
that assumption. Let’s keep it basic, simple, good tasting, along with
quick and easy to make. Using natures design and our
creativity. There can be a lot of enjoyment in what you try. Transform
your mind and sometimes tastebuds.
If you have any food allergies
or diet restrictions, make sure to talk with your doctor first. We want this
to be fun, interesting, and meets nutritional requirements.
Use a
weekly shopping list. Most are everyday items and easy to find. The
cost is relatively low, and can be incorporated into budgets with little
effort.
Are you, one that eats to live,
or lives to eat? Today, it will not matter because the
goal of the program is You! You finding a way to make your life more
fulfilling. Take what is useful and make the most of it in your life. Taking care of oneself starts one action at a time. Once you accomplish it, like making a
delicious dish, relish in that moment, be content, and congratulate yourself
for the achievement.
Pick times of day where your
energy is best. In my opinion, this is a goodt time to prepare foods.
Some of us are snacker, while others are strickly meal eaters. Prepare
enough to carry over into the next meal in case you decide you are too tired
to cook again.
Most of the food items shared
today are common produce, meats, and starches…
Make sure to wash fresh fruits
and vegetables thoroughly. Many may have pesticide residue that require rinsing
off. There are many cleaners today to help with this, but many people
just use water. I personally also give organic produce a good washing.
If you have a restrictive
diet, make sure only to use those items, and check with any new items you add
with your physicians. Also test for allergic reactions if not part of your
normal routine.
The appreciation of food goes
unrealized until one has to reduce or go without. Many of the 47%
would qualify for Food Service Assistance from State and Local Agencies.
Please apply if you need them. It’s easy to get back up on your feet,
when there is something inside the stomach! Everybody needs help every
now and then. Plus, I really want you to try these recipes and then send
me an email on how it goes!
