Beans and tofu contain a lot of proteins. These can be found at most grocery stores these days. You can fry tofu or add it to soups, seasoned well, for a yummy protein alternative. You can boil the beans with some herbs to have a flavorful protein packed meal, side or snack.


TIP! These seasonings can also add unexpected flavor to other foods. Add these types of seasonings to roasted pumpkin seeds when you need a pick-me-up, or spice up your breakfast by putting it on scrambled eggs.

A super healthy, and tasty, veggie dish is simply sauteed veggies in some chicken broth. The broths adds some additional flavor, and reduces or eliminates the need to use cooking oil to prepare them. This is a great and delicious way to cook vegetables.


Add the seasonings a little at a time throughout the cooking process. If you do it in this manner you can flavor your food the best way and use your ingredients in the best way.


TIP! If you are left with extra sauce after a meal, find a clean ice cube tray to pour the leftovers into and store the tray in the freezer. This way, when you want to make an easy meal another night, all you have to do is reheat it in a saute pan.
