That way, I know what I'm putting in my body. Besides, it's cheaper and more fun than going out to dinner all the time! I usually don't bother making desserts low-calorie, though - I'd rather just eat less!

It's a nearly impossible task. But little by little, bit by bit, I've changed my cooking so that my children think they're eating the same old not-terribly-healthy food, but they're really eating something good for them. It's all about substitution and finding a balance. I dissect a recipe, increase the healthy ingredients and decrease or substitute the unhealthy ones (high sugar, fat, simple carbs). The trick is to do it slow and subtle enough that their tastes acclimatize to the newer food.MotherBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770482972594773226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476548787924150109.post-88264336018452813242011-08-16T22:25:04.989-04:002011-08-16T22:25:04.989-04:00Healthy eating to me is about consuming whole, fre...Healthy eating to me is about consuming whole, fresh foods when possible. For example, there are so many tomatoes and zucchinis in season right now, that I have been planning my entire week's meals around them!
