MAUREEN'S NUTRITION KORNER 5

Greeting from Idaho!

I really welcome any of your suggestions or comments. My hope is that this nutrition Korner will be of much help to you. So, here is to good nutrition.

Today I want to talk al ittle about some healthy ways to simplify your life and cook in advance.

When you cook brown rice cook a bigger amount so you

can heat it up. Buy the long grain or short grain rice. The

short grain is a bit more sticky. Cook according to directions and double recipe. You can heat it up for breakfast. Add whatever you like on hot cereal. Also, you

can warm it up add a favorite vegetable on top.

I like a product called, "Bragg's Liquid Aminos" it is like

soy sauce only healthier and less salt. It can be purchased

only at a health store or health department in your grocery store.This is so good on brown rice.

Cook potatoes in advance leaving a bit firm so you can make potato salad and later cook in some olive oil. Cooking more than needed saves on time and energy. Use olive oil and add to pan and fry potatoes with onions and garlic. Onions and garlic are nature's antibiotic.

Make a large salad ahead of time storing in a plastic container. Do not put dressing on it but you can squeeze fresh lemon on top to keep from browning.

A large pot of chicken soup ( no cans added) this soup is

fresh. Buy a whole chicken and remove most of the skin.

add water to a big pot and cook 2 hrs. Remove chicken

and add whatever vegetable you have along with your rice

or potato. Then pick meat off chicken and add to soup. If

you have leftover chicken you can eat at another meal. This soup will make a nice healthy meal for days with little preparation time.

When shopping this week look for Braggs Amino's, buy brown rice, try some red/white potato's...

When cooking fresh you don't have to be concerned about

additive's and salt.

Tip of the day:

Celery has natural sodium and is very good for the nerves.

Try using more celery this week in your rice, raw, steamed,
