Healthy Foods
by Leanne Ely
Change doesn't have to be weird, inconvenient or hard to do
As Leanne Ely states in her book “Change doesn't have to be weird, inconvenient or hard to do.” Finally, a book that doesn't try to overwhelm! This informative volume approaches healthy eating with a bit of humor, and it maps out an easy way to cook nutritious and delicious meals that children will eat. Ely lists some “shocking deficiencies” in the average diet, including that a third of children are deficient in iron, and almost half are deficient in vitamin C and zinc.
This book is required if you have children. It has some basic food information, such as descriptions of carbohydrates, protein, and fats, along with details about the importance of drinking enough water. The author's advice is simply to eat whole, unprocessed foods and a balance of proteins and complex carbs. Ely spells out how to change one's current cooking and eating habits--starting with a pantry inventory. She also provides a helpful food glossary.
The best part of the book, the recipe section, is full of healthy concoctions that made my mouth water. There are recipes for dishes we all love, but which usually aren't that healthy. These include meatloaf and chili, as well as delicious muffins and breads. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in providing healthy meals for one's family without drastic change.
