A well known delicious recipe, you can fry eggplants instead of broiling them, but which one is healthier?

Here are your main ingredients. You will sauté onions, garlic, then add ground beef, chopped tomatoes. After the meat changes the color, add paste and spices, and chopped pepper, set aside.

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
