To your health in 2013

As I look out into the foodie blogosphere I see many tempting treats in this new year, but I wonder why aren’t more of the blog authors scaling back on the rich foods? Most of us have just had several weeks of eating good stuff like;

Turkey and all the trimmings

Pumpkin pie

Pecan pie

Cookies a plenty

Prime rib

Goose or duck

Eggnog

Etc

You get the point, right? It’s time for a stretch of healthy eating. Something that us Americans are not well known for. Well I’m embarking on my usual January healthy eating stretch by starting off January 1 with an all vegetarian low fat day that has continued on into January 2nd’s breakfast of oatmeal. Lunch was navy bean soup with parsnips and a salad of fresh broccoli dipped in a flax seed oil, cider vinegar and hot sauce dressing. I’ll break up the vegetarian theme at dinner with poached Alaskan Red Salmon with brown rice for the starch and stir fried broccoli and Shitake mushrooms as the vegetable dish. All are low fat easy to prepare foods. Take a look at my blog’s recipes and you will find many low fat quick and easy foods to increase your chances of starting out the New Year right .
