I don't know about you, but I watch the Today Show and I think they always have great tips. Here's an article:

One of the biggest things for me is just getting to go to the store by myself. No one else begging to get everything they see.

I don't have a large family, but I wind up cooking a lot for big get-togethers, anyway. In the cooler months I like doing things like BBQ pulled pork, beef stew, or maybe a big spaghetti dinner with cheese garlic bread and Bolognese sauce.

What kind of beef is best to use? Is it just a matter of how much fat it has, or are there other things involved?
5 people following-
Just beef here, and I still use at least an 85/15 mix even though some of my friends give me grief about it.

Do you do it with or without ham? My mother always used a ham hock and then cut up ham to add to the finished soup, but I'd rather keep it vegetarian. What else can I use for extra flavor?

This may sound silly, but what makes a wok a wok? Is it the shape, or does it cook over higher heat? Can I only do the usual Chinese stir-fry in it, or could I use one for other dishes too?
4 people following-
Woks can get so hot--I think I'd probably turn the heat down if I had to cook something for a longer time (like simmering or roasting).

Can I pull leftovers from the fridge and leave them to reheat in the crock pot while I'm at work? You know, something like a large piece of lasagna or some other one-pot meal?

Use color. What I mean is make every meal as colorful as possible and that is not food coloring!!!! It is from veggies. If there is color your meal will be healthier and mroe filling. If you make an omlet do it with more than egg and cheese. Add red and green peppers, spinach, onions. With every dinner prepared have a salad first to get some greens. Sandwiches should have lettuce, purple onions, shredded carrots. Add brocoli to anything you think you can. Full of fiber and good vitamines. Thanks!

We add flax seed to oatmeal, smoothies, stir fry veggies. Anything I can think of. It is expensive tho so don't add it to a big casserole that you are going to have uneaten leftovers of.

Our schools don't have any low-fat options. I read that 90% of schools are supposed to have them. There's now way that's true. How am I supposed to let them eat at school and eat low-fat?

We're thinking about all of us doing a low-fat diet. I heard there used to be concern about this for kids, but that it's ok now. Is this right?

This was so yummy. I ended up making the taco salad and then putting a scoop of it over a real salad that I made with romaine and spinach. I also drained meat really well.

Below is my rub and it is very nice and well received. It is low-carb which is a must for me. But with a new season of spring cooking starting this weekend, I would be open to hear any suggestions,...

How far in advance do you apply the rub to your meat? Do you make slices in the meat so it gets in better?

I read an article with some fabulous tips to change the way you eat to be more healthy. They have helped so much I wanted to jot them down really quickly.
7 people following-
1) I use smaller plates and smaller bowls 2) I put leftovers in tupperware -before- eating. (this is key, I'd say I consumed an additional serving while putting stuff away) 3) eat veggies on plate first 4) I almost only drink water 5) I allow myself a few treats to buy at gro store. That way I don't feel deprived and the crazy eating lady doesn't come out.

Well, the article said things like "drink only water" and I added the "I only drink water" ...Hope I don't sound like a know-it-all...it had just helped so much.

Since someone just comment on splenda I thought I throw this in the mix. My friend saw "King Corn" the movie and I haven't. I have cut out cokes.
Thoughts? Substitutions? Things you avoid?

Is it healthy for you? Is it the same as chicken and fish or more like red meat (want to eat sparingly)?

Pork is a nutritious choice of meat. By choosing chops or loin cuts you can have a delicious, moist,low fat protein. It is also high in nutrients without being loaded with calories. There has always been a fear of pork out there because of the scares years and years ago. Today meat is handled in a highly regulated healthy way so you can take comfort in that. I thoroughly cook my pork chops (to 140 or 150 though the fda recommends 170) and they are great.

I don't have the time to cook 2 meals for dinner - I need to cook food that my 1 1/2 yr old can eat and thats appealing to the rest of us (7 yr. old, husband & me).
How do you do this?
10 people following-
One word; vitamin drops! Also, I make stuff that would typically be processed by scratch if possible. pizza, nuggets, chips but using healthier recipes. We eat what the kids want most days and I throw in a salad for us.
