“Nothing beats homecooked food.” Throughout the generations, this phrase leaves many mouths. Even for families who always eat out at Michelin-star restaurants, they still agree that no outside meal outdoes homecooked food. What makes homecooked dishes so different from outside food to cause one to think this way? Simply, food prepared at home remains the most nutritious and economical choice for everyone. Food cooked at home prevents too much money from being spent unnecessarily on outside food while decreasing the risk of consuming spoilt or bacteria-infested dishes. Although outside meals seem more convenient, it is not, when compared to the goodness of homecooked food. No doubt, homecooked food provides a healthier option, helps save money, as well as lessens the risk of eating the wrong thing.

Hello my little lovelies! So for this recipe to be honest it was a total experiment. I was just feeling creative in my kitchen and this was born. Mainly because I'm really not much of a breakfast person and once it comes to breakfast I normally just throw whatever into a pan with some eggs and call it breakfast. It turned to be delicious and will definitely be going into my arsenal of recipes. This filled me up pretty much until dinner so if you need a meal where you're going to be busy all day and know that you probably won't be eating lunch this is perfect! Now I used coconut ice cream protein powder from 1Up to help make these more filling. If you don't have that it's okay since there will be coconut flakes in the recipe but if that's not enough you can use a little bit of coconut extract. Or instead of milk you can use coconut milk if you're lactose intolerant. That will definitely give you that coconut flavor. Without the milk, eggs and protein powder this recipe can easily be made vegan with a few substitutes.

This lasagna is made with lentils, red sauce, noodles, vegetables and vegan cheese. When you put it all together it tastes out of this world. What more could you ask for?

Healthy eating is often seen as a difficult task, but it doesn’t need to be. Providing you plan well and are careful with your shopping choices, healthy eating can be as inexpensive and convenient as a diet based in processed food.

I was in fifth grade when I saw “the film”. My greek yogurt which was supposed to be ready-to-eat had a slimy, ooey-gooey, and unappetizing film on top of it. Immediately, I thought my yogurt had expired! So, like the fifth-grader I was, I threw away the entire container of yogurt without knowing that “the film” I saw was actually a healthy layer of microorganisms. A decade or so later, and I am here to inform you about a type of microorganism that makes your yogurt, Lactobacillus bulgaricus well, yogurt. But before we get into the specifics, let me give you a brief synopsis on the importance of these little fermenting bacteria.

Some people might say to never trust a skinny chef, but that's really not being fair to the chef. It's possible to enjoy food and stay healthy.

When you send someone to the store to buy pasta, the person will have no idea what to purchase because there are so many names, shapes, sizes, and textures of pasta.
