One sure-fire strategy to increase the amount of vegetables you're eating
and reduce the total kilojoules you eat, is to fill half your dinner
plate with vegetables. By having half a plate of vegies in the evening you'll get at least three of your daily five serves of vegetable in one meal, possibly more. Moreoever, by half-filling your plate with vegetables you're leaving less room for meat, chicken, fish, pasta, rice, potatoes - the other foods which contribute most to the kilojoules in your meal. There's nothing wrong with eating regular portions of these carbohydrate and protein rich foods. However many people eat too many of them and too much leads to weight gain. So fill your plate with vegies and you'll be improving your health in at least two different ways. ![]() |

| 16 November 2011 ,13:24 Quicklinks - recipes and resources | |
The internet is a wonderful resource - so much information out there, including
wonderful articles, recipes and thoughts on food. Here are some of the recipes and
resources I'm liking at the moment: Steamed egg
custards: I'm intrigued by this steamed egg custard from Mummy I Can Cook. Especially topped with a
bit of soy sauce, some chopped green shallots, chilli and a dash of sesame oil. I plan to
make this recipe very soon. Marinating olives: A lovely way to spark up olives, by marinating in garlic, thyme and rosemary. Perfect make-ahead finger food for a drinks or dinner party by Gourmande in the Kitchen. Start losing weight: A great resource on the NHS website, about the steps to take when you want to lose weight. Full of really practical advice. I particularly like the "Do Today" and "Do This Week" lists. Pear Muffins: While we don't all have our own orchard, you can still make these delicious muffins from Tea and Cookies. They're spiced up with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg and sweetened with honey and pear puree, instead of sugar. They'd make a delicious breakfast or snack. Grilled haloumi and beetroot salad: What a cracking salad from Food and the Fabulous - grilled haloumi combined with greens and grated beetroot, then topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and a zesty lime dressing.
