Walk through a grocery store these days and you will find a ton of food labelled as "healthy" in some way in an attempt to get you to purchase but if you look beyond the fancy labels and names you can quickly find that eating healthy is not as easy as one might think. I hope that this website can help you unravel some of those mysteries and find a harmony in what you eat.
Healthy fruit at the bottom yogurt
Description
Love yogurt but fear the calories or carbs then give this a try.. Mix greek yogurt with your fav fruit (I no suger added frozen fruits) and a few drops of liquid stevia makes for a great morning treat.
Using the greek yogurt provides you a higher protein content plus its thicker then normal yogurt so the juices from the berries won't water it down.
Ingredients
| 8 | oz | Greek Yogurt |
| 1 | oz | Frozen Fruit |
| 3 | dr | Stevia |
Instructions
Biscuits and Gravy
Description
I love Biscuits and Gravy but made the normal way its full of fat so for years from time to time I would make it using turkey sausage but it just wasnt as good.. I then ran into Isernio's Breakfast Chicken Sausage and my family has been hooked every since
Ingredients
| 1 | pk | isernio's breakfast sausage (or sausage of your choice) |
| 2 | T | flour |
| 1 | t | pepper, ground |
| 1 | pk | favorite biscuits |
| 1 | pt | heavy whipping cream |
Instructions
Start your biscuits first as they take the longer and get them in the over..
Throw your sausage in a pan and cook it together with your flour and pepper.
Once the sausage is fully cooked add your whipping cream and cook until its your desired consistency.
Toss onto your biscuits and enjoy..
Notes
By cooking the flour with the sausage the flour will absorb the oils from the sausage and will saving you from having to make a "rue" later on, this saves you from having to add fat through butter or extra oil.
Add a dash of tabasco sauce for an extra kick
How often do you go out to eat, How often to you check the calorie/fat content of what your ordering?
If you said "never" this article is for you!

Never would imagine something like a Tuna sandwich or a Simple personal pan pizza could be some of the fattest items around? Nothing is safe in todays world.
When people talk about Fast Food and how unhealthy it can be they don't often talk about why its unhealthy they just throw out numbers about the calories and fat your taking in, about fried foods and super sizing meals but you might be shocked to find out that if you really look at what goes into your meal and you avoid the hidden dangers you can walk away without adding inches to your waistline!
Ultimate Crockpot Lima beans
Description
Beans are high in fiber and other nutrients that are good in many ways. this recipe uses low sodium broths and lean ham to create a flavor you can't get from a can and its so easy even someone who can't cook can do it.
Ingredients
| 1 | lb | small lima beans |
| 12 | oz | low fat, low sodium, ham |
| 3 | clv | diced, garlic |
| 1 | ct | low sodium, ham or beef broth |
| 1 | T | low sodium, ham stock concentrate |
| 1 | T | ground, pepper |
| 1⁄2 | c | diced, onion |
| 1⁄2 | T | red pepper flakes |
| 1⁄2 | T | mrsdash |
Instructions
Prepare beans as described on the bag and throw them in a Crockpot at low.
Add all other ingredients and stir every hour.
Everyone has a difference preference on how firm beans should be so cook time is to taste but around 6 hours is my preference.
I have learned in my quest to eat healthier to look at the labels on everything and I mean everything including that simple package of chicken breasts on sale at your grocery store!
Now come on, what in the world would be in a package of chicken except chicken? How about water? A lot of packages say water added and even fewer packages are more "truthfull" and say something like "this package has been enhanced with 15% broth".
