Is it easy to prepare quick and healthy meals that can give us the necessary energy for our ever demanding schedules?
With our busy and hectic lives, it is easy to fall for the junk food trap.
We have long harrassing working days, short periods of rest and very little time to prepare a decent meal for ourselves and our families.
We lack variety in what we eat.
We lack flavour in what we consume.
We lack creativity in what we put on our tables.
All because we don’t have time.
Time to sit down and really think of what we are putting inside our bodies.
Time to revel in what nature has to offer us in terms of food and drink.
We forget the green, yellow and crunchy peppers (Mmmh delicious;)
What about dark and purple eggplants that can be grilled in the oven and served with meat, beans, fish or other types of sea food?
And not forgetting savoury perfurmed rice whose aromas fills the whole house and teases your taste buds.
Onions, garlic, persil, coriander, nutmeg…so many herbs and spices to season our stews, barbecues and baked dishes.
So much healthy food to restore us.
