I advocate whole child nutrition on a regular basis. Our children often follow our lead, not our words. So, as part of our whole-kid mix, I occasionally serve up recipes for healthy parents. Nutrition, exercise, sleep and physical fitness are all good ingredients to support one’s mental capacity. It’s the start of a new year, so many parents I know are committed to fitness and healthy weight loss.
This year I started Weight Watchers Online. In the last two weeks, I’ve logged in twice. This is not a comment on the program or my commitment. I joined during the free registration period for the three month online deal. Given that Weight Watchers offers this deal, they not only have a good weight loss program, but also good market segmentation. I am in that group that wants to get delicious weight loss recipes made with ingredients found at the local Central Market. I’d like an occasional reminder to drink half my body weight in water and to exercise regularly until it becomes a habit. Also, I must find out the secrets behind the number system.
Simply put, the secrets to his recipe involve being true to yourself and eating in moderation. They create recipes and food combinations for regular people. Brown rice has the same point value as white rice. So, you can use whatever you have in your kitchen, pantry, cupboards or buy regularly from a grocery store like Central Market. When I followed In the Kitchen With Rosie: Oprah’s Favorite Recipes, I had to buy ingredients that weren’t common in my regular recipes. These don’t ask for fresh chervil, white pepper, shallots or dry sherry. These food items can be easily found in the Central Market. But, most people don’t cook with them, not even us foodies who crave fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and mouth-watering recipes.
The program offers delicious weight loss recipes. However, let’s be real. They are still weight loss tips. When one is used to using half a stick for a full stick of butter to make chocolate chip cookies, adding two tablespoons of butter to it can give the digestive feeling that something is missing. So, in Central Market, whole wheat flour or spelled flour is added to the recipe, making the cookies a bit heartier and healthier.
Weight Watchers South-of-the-Border Chicken Soup (aka Chicken Tortilla Soup) can also be found spicy at Central Market. Substitute ½ cup chipotle salsa for one cup regular salsa. Also, use fresh tomatoes from the produce section of Central Market instead of the canned tomatoes called for in the soup recipe. Wow! Delicious weight loss recipes are transformed into lip smacking, tasty weight loss recipes with the help of Central Market.
Now, you may ask – what is my fascination with Central Market? Well, I look for inspiration everywhere. I understand that the more enjoyable something is; You are more likely to continue. When you walk into the Central Market, you are greeted by stores filled with fresh produce and products that are simple yet spicy. It is much more than just a shopping trip. It is an experience. Cooking is highly sensory. Good smells and tastes create memories and comfort for you and your children.
Delicious weight loss recipes can help your kids develop healthy eating habits that will last them a lifetime. I want to help you enjoy cooking and eating healthy so that you can set a lasting example. Experiment with ingredients to spice up your weight loss recipes and make them delicious for your family. When you go to the grocery store, choose foods you love and you’ll be maintaining healthy eating habits.
