Cooking Heatlhy

When I learned I had to start eating better, I headed to my favorite bookstores and right to the sales aisles. There, I found low-fat, healthy cookbooks. Since I knew that vegetarianism was low-cholesterol, low-fat, low-sugar & low-sodium, I began looking for them.

Vegetables are great for weight loss, and there are better ways to prepare them than steaming lumps of goo. After a time, I began feeling comfortable around such vegetables as Eggplant, Spaghetti Squash, Turnips, Parsnips, Kale, Beets (fresh) and Leeks. I then made many recipes from those cookbooks for family and friends. And received compliments.

Cooking healthy is not a time-consuming endeavor. All it takes is a dedicated mind and patience.

Here are the low-fat and vegetarian cookbooks I use:

The Vegetarian little big Book, McRae Books
Healthy Eating, Starfire Publishing
Super cookery: Low fat & Salads, Parragon Publishing
The Little Guides: Vegetarian, Fog City Press
Vegetarian, Hermes House
Sensational Vegetable Recipes, Bay Books

Your health well thank you.
