Kosher food is often termed a Jewish food. Jewish followers are the most common kosher food consumers, but they are not the only ones. There are individuals who eat kosher food simply because the food is often considered better than traditional food. Jewish law is used to determine exactly what food is kosher and what is not.
Green Tea is receiving lots of attention for its health benefits as a powerful antioxidant as well as its metabolism enhancing properties. But summer weather demands a cold treat, and a fresh and relatively healthy one to consider is Green Tea Ice Cream. This is one home-made treat that doesn't require an ice-cream maker. And the subtle and slightly bitter taste of green tea nicely offsets the sweetness and richness of ice cream.
I find that one of the hardest challenges of eating well, is planning well. Preparing healthy recipes means keeping a stocked frig and pantry. So, a menu plan and shopping plan can really help set you up for success when trying eat more healthfully. Naturalpath has a lot of low fat and fast recipes for quick meals without a lot of planning.
Another fun resource are the Cooking Light year end recipe books. These compilations, have all the recipes from the year's magazine and they're organized by season. This makes it convenient to pick out seasonal recipes and devise a shopping plan. Basically, I just sit down with the book and pick out about five dinner recipes that sound interesting. I make an ingredient list and add it to the week's shopping list. I've found these recipes relatively easy to make and really very good. Give it a try!
