Healthy

What are your best healthy eating habits?

My favorite menu is always veggie first. That should be healthy, yet I’m persistently overweight.

A vegan plate recently shared with my visiting children at Coletta Italian Vegan Restaurant

It’s been thus since childhood, even at the family table where we had a salad served every night.

Bread was always on the family table. We are from Bivše Jugoslavije after all. I know you will blame the bread, carbs are an easy target.

Eat this

You have an excuse but you do not have permission for not finishing your vegetables.

Some of the green savory things on your plate are technically fruits. It’s not just the tasty avocado either. The cucumber is a seeded edible plant and, therefore, botanically a fruit. I could go on.

Vegetables are not a botanical classification. They may be green or orange [no, the yellow squash has seeds], florets or leaves, or stems.

Enjoy them because they are delicious.  Enjoy them because they are ever so nutritious. Enjoy them because they beautify your meal.
