Healthy cooking recipes will do
wonders for your health and weight loss.
If...you cook them right.

Healthy cooking recipes depend on healthy cooking because, if you’re not using healthy cooking methods, the cooked food is not going to be healthy.

No matter how organic or fresh it started out.

But anyone can learn how to cook to keep their recipes super tasty and super healthy.

With just a little direction and practice, you'll have healthy cooking down in no time at all.

Cooking do’s and don’ts to keep your healthy cooking recipes healthy.

Do always start with fresh organic meats. Find a butcher that can help you with this.

Then get the healthiest vegetables and whole grains you can get your hands on. Heart healthy cooking depends on this.

Don’t ever use processed, bleached grains (they have the nutritional life sucked out of them and should be avoided).

Do cook meats in a covered glass-baking dish at 350 degrees F, or cook on your stovetop in water or stock on low heat in a covered pan.

Don’t cook meats at high temperatures. This can cause the formation of carcinogens. So if you do broil or grill because everybody loves a barbeque, keep an eye on your meat and don't let it get charred. The burnt and charred crust is carcinogenic.

Do cook vegetables in waterless cookware or steam vegetables with a good quality stainless steel steamer. Heart healthy cooking is timing it so they come out crisp and tender for maximum nutrition.

Don’t boil your vegetables. You lose the most nutrients when you boil them. But, if you do boil your vegetables try drinking the water later to get those nutrients back. It works and tastes sooooo good..

Do use good quality cookware, preferably surgical stainless steel.

Don’t use a microwave. In fact think about getting rid of it. Because of all the methods of cooking, micro waving results in the greatest loss of nutrients from your food. Nutrition and microwaves don’t go together. In fact microwave cooking has been shown to convert naturally occurring fatty acids into the harmful trans-fatty acids found in hydrogenated fats. Bad mojo.

See how easy it is. Anyone can learn. Just steam, sauté, simmer or bake your foods. Throw in some herbs / spices and you’ll always end up with a great tasting, healthy meal.

Here’s to cooking healthy. Smiles…Gigi
