Healthy Christmas Recipes!
After looking through the recipes here on the wiki, I've discovered we don't have many holiday-related ones.
I know it's difficult to eat healthy through the holidays because of course, there's so many fattening, comforting (and tasty) dishes and snacks. But it's rather easy to have a healthy Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner as long as you do a bit of pre-planning.
I am hoping that we can get some healthy Christmas-related recipes in here (like healthier cookies or other healthy holiday snacks). So if anybody has some tried and true healthy holiday recipes, please post them (and pictures would be most welcome)!
Cutting Out Dairy
I've always suspected that I was sensitive to dairy but as the years have gone by, I'm pretty sure my mild lactose intolerancy has now become a moderate one. I don't suffer extreme intolerancy, since I don't become nauseated, vomit or have other gastrointestinal problems after consuming dairy products...but the indigestion, belching, bloating and general discomfort have made me realize it's time to give up dairy.
I seem to have intolerancy to certain dairy products more than others. Milk, ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen custard and various yogurts seem to cause all the problems versus things like cheese, but even certain types of cheese have caused stomach upset.
I'm going to have a very hard time giving up ice cream and cheese, however, si…
Healthy Recipes Wiki Needs Your Help!
Healthy Recipes Wiki is a budding site filled with some pretty wonderful recipes so far, but it seems to be lacking in several areas.
We especially need more recipes in the Salads, Beverages and Desserts sections, although recipes in the other categories are always welcome.
Feel free to post whatever recipes you have, as long as they qualify as 'healthy.' This means that they can be vegan or vegetarian recipes, heart-healthy or diabetic-friendly recipes, low fat, low cholesterol or low calorie recipes...(you get the idea). And no, cakes or things made with a cup of butter do not count as being healthy, :).
If you know someone who eats healthy and would like to contribute, feel free to pass the URL of the Healthy Recipes Wiki along to them...w…
15 Companies That Serve You 'Wood'
Here is a very disturbing article I read today about the addition of cellulose (wood pulp) in many, MANY foods that a lot of people buy, or in which they partake at restaurants and fast food places. I find it deplorable that people are not standing up to question where their food is coming from, how it is being produced, and what the ingredients really are. Perhaps our society has become too complacent to even care. Read this article, make note of the products listed at the end of it, and make sure not to put such rubbish in your bodies. Remember that the body is like a temple and should be treated as such!
