More Easy Healthy Recipes And Diet Tips

Hello everyone, let me apologize for not posting in ages but I'm busy with a big project that takes up most of my time now and doesn't leave time for blogging. I was very surprised when I checked my blog now and saw that the number of my followers has grown to a fantastic 8. Thank you so much for your interest, guys!

Now, there is something I feel I need to share with you. I just got an email from Matthew from FaveDietsBlog, letting me know he liked my blog and shared some of my cooking tips on his. I went to pay him a visit, and what I discovered was awesome.

FaveDietsBlog has its focus on diet and weight loss tips, healthy eating and mouthwatering healthy recipes. Here are just two posts that caught my eye:

Healthy Chicken Dinners in 30 Minutes Or Less
Chicken recipes are great if you are in a hurry, since this meat is quick to prepare, and it's very healthy because low in fat. Matthew has got two great recipes on his blog, and links to more on his website.

Healthier Cheese Cake Is Delicious
Don't know about you but I love cheese cake. Fortunately, I'm not one of those who have to worry about calories, but since I got my own family to look after I'm much more conscious of healthy eating. This cheese cake recipe is low in fat by using fat free sour cream and cream cheese, and also leaves the option of replacing sugar with sugar substitutes, making it even healthier. Sounds like a cheese cake even dieters and diabetics could enjoy without having to feel guilty.

There's much more great healthy recipes and diet tips out there, so if you got some time, go visit FaveDietsBlog!

Fried Rice With Ham And Peas

If you're a rice lover, this one is for you! Rice and ham and a nice portion of healthy veggies, all mixed together to a fried dish.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 medium onion
• 260 g lean ham
• 270 g rice, boiled
• 260 g peas, deep frozen
• 4 tbsp. soy sauce

Steps

1. Start cooking the rice. If you have the opportunity to do that the day before, even better. The rice will then be less sticky when frying. But if you just boil the rice now and it’s still warm, it will still work well.
2. Slightly beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Heat a little bit of oil in a pan, add the eggs and bake like an omelet. Cut into pieces and set aside.
3. In the meantime, chop the onion and cut the ham into thin strips.
4. Heat a bit of oil in the pan and fry the onions on high heat until golden. Add the ham and stir-fry for another minute. Add rice and peas and stir-fry for 5 minutes until the rice is warm and the peas soft. Then add soy sauce and omelet, heat it all up and serve.

Serves 4.

Tip
You can replace the ham with any kind of meat, but the cooking process might then take a bit longer because the meat needs to be done whilst the ham just needs to warm. Preferably use chicken or turkey as it is done quickly.
