In my first post I asked the question, why do you eat? I believe that most people want to eat healthfully, and they want to eat food that is really delicious.

Many people, with whom I communicate, are interested in preparing food that is healthful, tasty, and affordable, however, they don’t know how or where to start. What foods are the most healthful? What to do if you don’t know how to cook, much less food combine or make top rate nutritious food choices.

I believe the best way to begin is to make simple meals. If you don’t know how to cook, prepare salads and sandwiches. Salads are very simple and easy to prepare, and most people know how to make a sandwich. Salad greens are available in ready to “dress” combinations of various greens. Add cucumber slices and green onions or other veggies you like, and toss in your favorite dressing.

Make your own salad dressing and limit the bad stuff that is found in many ready-made dressings, and save money. With the money you save by making your own dressing, you’ll be able to invest in organic olive or other oil, and organic vinegars of your choice.

Sandwiches are very easy to make. Try brown bagging it save money, calories, and know what’s in your food. Between two slices of whole grain organic bread, drizzle on a little salad dressing and pile on lettuce and sliced bell peppers and slices of chicken breast; to amp up the nutrition, add sliced radish or some grated carrot, or sliced tomato. Juicy vegetables should be place in a separate container to prevent soggy bread.

I am going to start posting recipes of some of my family’s favorite recipes. I will be sharing tips and techniques for growing some of the produce that has helped me save money and have flavorful, ultra fresh herbs and other veggies on hand for use at any time.
