ADDING and ELIMINATING the foods we eat for better health

Hello again friends, Thomas and I have been discussing the food choices we make.  I am not going to lie to you, We Do Like Carbohydrates and they seem to be everywhere, in all foods. Cards seem to be In Your FACE, in every commercial on TV, on billboards in every aspect of our lives. So, I decided to be stronger than that and start to eat better, one food that I enjoy is fish I do not eat enough of it but yet I love it.  I usually order fish whenever I am out at a restaurant, and I seem to eat fish more during the summer months.

The fish I enjoy eating are, Rainbow trout, Haddock, Halibut, Spots, Red Snapper, Flounder, there are probably other fish 🐟 that I have not tried yet, that leaves me something to look forward to in the future. These fish can be baked broiled, grilled, baked or pan fried. With fish I like to keep the seasonings simple so that I can really enjoy the flavor of the fish. What I have been using are lemon juice and lemon slices, Old Bay Sea food seasoning is great when preparing fish or any other sea food, butter is another item I put on fish.  Of course, you can use any seasoning your heart desires people in different cultures use many different spices and herbs that they are accustomed to use. Friends, I do not want you to think that I am just now adding fish to my diet, No, I just need to add more fish and eliminate so much beef, to cut down on the infection in my body that meat 🥩 creates.

I have given some thought to eliminating meat from my diet all together but then I decided that was not something I would be happy with at this time. Adding healthier food is a lot harder than eliminating food. We got to remember that we have been eating unhealthy foods for a lifetime and we all know that habits are very hard to break.

You may be thinking (What could I eat with my fish🐟)? Well friends. I have put together a small list of some delicious side dishes.

Ratatouille with eggplant

Green beans with almonds

Roasted Cauliflower

Carrots and cabbage

Asparagus and Arugula salad

Couscous stuffed peppers

Rice Pilaf

Sugar snapped peas

Whipped sweet potatoes

These are just to name a few side dishes you may want to try, but of course, try the dishes you and your family are familiar with.

I would like to know how you make health changes in your daily diet, maybe I can incorporate some of your ideas.
