Curried Quinoa Salad
We talk a lot about why you should eat a healthy diet, often dwelling quite a bit on the theoretical side of things.
But sometimes, practical examples of healthy meals your whole family will love, are extremely important, if you are to nail healthy eating for life.

Today I launched into a task I’d been putting off for a while.
I cleaned and organized my fridge.
I find a cluttered refrigerator is not only a frustration when you’re trying to make dinner, but it can also lead to wasted food, because items are left to decay out of sight.
That certainly doesn’t inspire healthy eating. So, if your fridge could do with a little TLC, take a look at what I did.
With so many “natural” branded foods on the shelves these days, it can be somewhat difficult to weed out the decent foods from the junk posing as healthy food.

It’s true to say that most people don’t know what a healthy portion of food should look like.
For some of you, that may be because you’ve been “on a diet” for so long that you just can’t remember what normal eating is.
For others, it can stem from a long battle with an eating disorder.
And for others, it may be something completely different.
But there’s no doubt, the current trend of super-sizing meals doesn’t help us one bit to get it right. Click to read more…
