  Almost 13 years ago, I decided to adopt a healthy lifestyle to look and feel better. Changing your eating habits makes all the difference. It is healing and brings so much joy to your inner self.  Why is this delicious herring spread good for you? I prepare this herring spread at least every two weeks, mainly because of its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also an excellent source of lean protein and vitamin D. I used canned herring, but it works wonderfully with canned...

    These no-bake lemon energy bars are my favorite on-the-go snack. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats with a creamy vegan lemon filling. Since the coffee cake is a standard at my house, these lemony bites are my absolute favorite, especially in the summer, because they are so fresh. My lemon energy bars combine dates, favorite seeds, desiccated coconut, and other healthy ingredients for a nutritious snack.    Why do I love these healthy no-bake lemon energy bars? I usually prepare them on the weekend and enjoy them...

   What is Tabbouleh?   Originally from Lebanon and Syria, Tabbouleh is one of the most popular salads in the Middle East. Thinking of the original recipe, I can describe Tabbouleh as a super fresh and nutritious salad made with bulgur and whose main ingredient is parsley. Cucumber and tomato slices are part of the tabbouleh salad with simple olive oil and lemon dressing. Tabbouleh is my favorite salad in the summer because it is easy to prepare, inexpensive, refreshing, light, and contains many nutrients. I always make sure to grow...

  These vegan broccoli quinoa patties are great for anyone committed to a healthy lifestyle. Although I am not vegan, I love them - easy to prepare, delicious, and nutritious - and they go amazingly well with a good soy sauce or garlicky yogurt and a generous salad on the side. Since I started my healthy journey, reducing the amount of meat in my diet has been my top priority. As a result, I play with my favorite healthy ingredients to create delicious vegan meals. I do not particularly...

  Obesity is a widespread problem in our society. The question arises as to why some people find it challenging to reduce and maintain their weight while others do not. In my experience, we can blame genetics and lifestyle. Of course, other factors such as health problems also play a role. In my family, there are no slim people. We are all well-built with some fat here and there without being fat. What am I trying to say? I will never be a thin person because genetically,...

  Hummus is very popular and can be made with canned or dried chickpeas. I think almost everyone knows how to prepare hummus in their kitchen. Since I am a big proponent of the Mediterranean diet, I tried to give the classic hummus recipe a Mediterranean twist by using dried and fresh herbs and olives.   I firmly believe that the Mediterranean diet is the best diet for anyone who wants to lose weight, stay healthy, and grow old healthily. Moreover, this diet is a healthy way of eating...

      When we were kids, our grandmothers or mothers taught us that vegetables were good for us. Whether it was broccoli, spinach, or cauliflower, we learned that our bodies needed them to be healthy. I remember my mother and grandmother cooking everything from scratch, and the taste was fantastic. And I still do today, despite my busy lifestyle. We live in a very different world. Supermarket shelves are full of more convenient, ready-to-eat foods, but are they what our bodies need? I, for one, like to know what's in my...

  What is behind my decision to make coconut milk? I am one of those people who read food labels. It's a must because it helps me understand what's in the food I buy. Four years ago, I was in a big supermarket in Kingston. Coconut milk was on my shopping list. I grabbed a carton and started reading the label. I was shocked to realize how little coconut was in that milk. That day, I decided to make my coconut milk. When I hit menopause, I decided...
