EAT, DRINK AND LIVE HEALTHY
Recently, I have discovered a fantastic show on the Foodnetwork Channel entitled “Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger”. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how interesting a cooking show hosted by a nutritionist could be, but it turns out it can be pretty educating and entertaining.
While Ellie Krieger (the host and the nutritionist) may not have the energy and the presence of Rachel Ray (my favorite host and I do love her “30 Minute Meals” shows), she can carry herself pretty well all the same. My husband says she smiles too much, and that may be true, but for a cooking show I really don’t care if the host smiles a lot or not. What attracts me to this particular show is the health factor.
We all know (or most of us, at least) that eating healthy isn’t always easy and fun, and coming up with the recipes for nearly every day of the week makes it even more difficult. Not to mention keeping the meals delicious…
Ellie Kroeger shows you how to make healthy and yummy dishes that don’t require a lot of skills and time in the kitchen. What is surprising is the fact that all of her recipes let you see that you really don’t have to sacrifice the taste, fun and all the things you like most (dessert, for instance) to eat healthy. The only thing you need to learn is how to adjust your favorite recipes to make them healthier. And the best part: Ellie’s recipes are very easy to make and provide a lot of fun with food.
The only negative thing I can find about the show is that sometimes the ingredients are not commonly available at your local supermarket and tend to be on the expensive side. Unfortunately, being healthy is not always an inexpensive process (which I know from my own experience)…
Luckily, with the help of shows like “Healthy Appetite” we can eat, drink and live healthy and have fun while we’re doing it…Enjoy!
