What are some of the key ingredients for healthy recipes? They should be natural items– found in nature– and not processed. Therefore, you’d be better off using fresh off the vine tomatoes for your pasta salad, rather than ones from a can. Whenever you can use unadulterated, non-frozen ingredients to make your meals, do so! Also, you’ll want to make sure you wash things like vegetables before you cut them up and use them; it’s good to wash off any dirt or chemicals that may be lingering on them. Finally, be careful not to use ingredients that have “expired.” Everything has its time. If there’s mold on something, you’d be smarter to throw it out in the garbage or add it to your outdoor compost pile than chance getting sick from including the moldy item in your recipe.
A lot of people don’t ever use recipes because they eat out all the time… all of their meals come from a store or restaurant. Yet, they might be missing out on the joy of cooking, not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when something you took the time and energy to prepare by hand is warm and ready to eat.
