I use nutritional yeast instead of grated cheese on whole grain spagetti.

Olive oil instead of tomato paste to reduce calories.

Nutritional yeast has a pleasant nutty taste but do not put on too much as the yeast flavor will be overpowering

Baked sweet potato fries sprinkled with olive oil and cinnamon tastes like pumpkin pie

Red potato fries

cut then soak in water for 20 minutes to remove starch

Bake sprinkled with olive oil and garlic powder and paprika or dill or cajun seasoning instead of french fries. I use sugar free ketchup

Use parchment paper so they do not stick

Why they do not serve baked fries in a health conscious day I do not understand

Cabbage!

I love cabbage salad, cabbage cigar roll (with veal!), slice of cabbage on the bbq... Cabbage droped in asian style soup (or simply in a 49 cents Ramen!). Cabbage, or lettuce, wrap up with a thin slice of marinated meat, with pepper, coriander and coconut/peanut sauce.

The older I get I eat more veggies and fruits. Veggies can replace so many meals that are awful for you.
 
I've heard about nutritional yeast many times but have never tried it. On pasta, does it taste a bit like parmesan?


A bit yes but a nutty taste. It is the nutrition you are after

Also put it on popcorn instead of butter


Health food store for yeast and cocoa or chocolate cooking squares at any store

The cocoa in health food stoes are ceremonial meaning cocoa was
prayed over when made because it is used in ceremonies

Make 90% of your grocery store purchases on the outside aisles of the stores, and avoid the middle aisles.
That means fresh fruit and veg, meats, dairy etc, and not so much canned and processed.
 
Greek Yogurt instead of mayo but I make my own yogurt so nothing added and I am getting all the bacteria. Easy to make, you do not need a yogurt maker, get it at health food stores. Fermented foods for gut bacteria but the fermented foods you buy are garbage IE sauerkraut as they boil it so it preserves

Fermented sauerkraut and pickles!

You can get the real, fermented stuff from 5 gallon pails at Starsky's Polish grocery store on Dundas just west of 427.

I add some caraway seeds to the sauerkraut too.

And the half sour fermented dill pickles are really crisp and delicious. Also have different probiotic bacteria than other fermented foods for more diverse gut flora.
 
Genuine Miso paste added to simple ramen noodle soup is also healthy. It's a fermented soy product.
 
I put a tiny amount(it causes gas) of brewer's yeast in my home made cereal.

At the CNE EX a nutritionist was discussing fermented foods and gut flora. The only thing in a Loblaws store that you can trust for probiotics is Kefir which is fermented milk

Cultures have eaten proper fermented foods for health reasons, we do not and we eat so much meat it destoys the flora

I am trying to ferment garlic by pickling in vinegar

Great way to eat nutritious garlic. Add spices like hot peppers.

Takes 2 weeks to ferment
