Hi there, my name is Henry Johnson. Welcome to my website about food and cooking. As I was growing up, my parents did all the cooking. Since they had very sensitive stomachs, the only spices used for food prep were salt and pepper. When I moved out and started cooking on my own, I started integrating all herbs and spices into my meals. Through trial and error, I found the elements that worked that best together. On this site, I want to share those herb and spice combinations to help everyone increase the flavor profile of the meals they cook. Thanks.
If you are someone who wants to lose fat, then you understand how much of the struggle involves the kitchen. While it's very important to incorporate enough exercise, especially cardio, into your daily routine, it's most important that you focus your efforts on the kitchen. A long run or bike ride will burn off calories, but it will all be for naught if you head home and eat something that is loaded up with calories. So, you need to be diligent about maintaining an awareness of your calories.
A Blender
One of the best things you can get is blender. These can be used to make everything from protein shakes, to veggie shakes. When you are trying to lose fat and you're lifting weights, you will want to take a protein shake. These are a great way to get enough protein to build muscle without in-taking extra calories. Another great way to use the blender is to make veggie shakes that will fill you up and lessen the amount of calories that you ingest throughout the day. You can make a nutrient rich, yet non calorie dense shake and fill yourself up for the day. These are healthy alternatives to starving yourself.
A Single Serve Coffee Maker For K-Cups
If you find yourself craving coffee, but when you make a pot you have cup after cup (and all the calories that come with cream and sugar) you should get a single serve machine and an assortment of k-cups. These will be a great alternative to making a big pot of coffee and then ending up drinking all of it. You can also experiment with a variety of teas, such as Green Tea, which are beneficial for fat burning. You can find all sorts of green tea k-cups online and pick out the one you like best.
A Crock Pot (Slow Cooker)
Another great appliance is a slow cooker. These are perfect for those times when you want to prepare a big amount of food ahead of time and save yourself the prep and cooking time during the week. If you have found that you are someone who normally succumbs to fast food, then this is a perfect alternative. You can make a healthy stew with lentils or a lean meat and then eat this throughout the week instead of getting fast food when you come home. These appliances are going to expedite meal prep, and make it so that you get nutrition as well as enjoyment from your food.
