Nothing compares to a home-cooked meal. We all like being served in fancy restaurants or missing dad’s lecture about today’s politicians, but somehow I bet the best meals you have ever had are family meals.

Family meals have their specific charm; your sister amuses you with a tale about her ex-boyfriend’s tattoos, your grandmother keeps asking you when you are planning on settling down, dad wants to know your opinion about the latest law enforcements and so on. But none of these compare to mum’s cooked meals. Ever since we are little, our mothers try to feed us properly and spoil us once in a while with our favorite cake or pie. I am sure that a certain taste, at a certain time in life has led you thinking to mum’s cooking.

Somehow they combine tasty with healthy and the result is magnificent.




Eating healthy recipes is something that you do while living with your parents and under your mother’s strict supervision. But I found out that eating healthy recipes is not so hard if you just put your mind to it and do a little research. Ask your mother’s help, of course, if you don’t think you can manage.

For example, let’s chose a healthy menu for a regular Sunday. You will have to eat a soup, the first course and the dessert. You can add something to drink to this menu, preferably also something that is good for your health: a glass of milk maybe, or if you prefer alcohol, a glass of red wine (doctor’s orders).Let’s start with the soup. We can try a vegetable soup. It is easy to cook and very healthy. You just need green beans, peeled and diced potatoes, peeled carrots, 2 tablespoons of garlic, black pepper, and salt, 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of olive oil. You just heat the oil, add the salt, the pepper and the garlic first and leave it for about 7-8 minutes.

Then add the carrots, the potatoes and the beans and let them cook until the vegetables are tender. Then add the lemon juice and you have yourself one hell of a soup. For the first course we can try roasted chicken breast with marmalade. If you are a meat lover, you won’t want to give up meat from your eating habits. So you can eat chicken, especially chicken breast which is very healthy and has little calories. The roasted chicken is done as we usually do it; we just add a homemade marmalade as a dressing and the result in amazing.

You must definitely try it sometimes .And as dessert, I would suggest a delicious fruit salad. It is both healthy and tasteful. Now, that wasn’t that hard was it? Eating healthy recipes is easy to figure out if you have mum’s help and a little bit of imagination!
